The Washington Post reports:
The town hall began with questions from preselected attendees for the former president. Donald Trump offered meandering answers on how he would address housing affordability and help small businesses. But it took a sudden turn after two attendees required medical attention.
“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?” he said. For 39 minutes, Trump swayed, bopped — sometimes stopping to speak — as he turned the event into almost a living-room listening session of his favorite songs from his self-curated rally playlist.
NBC News reports:
After the second incident, a handful of people in the crowd yelled “open the doors.” The room was toasty. Trump appeared to talk to a Secret Service agent to see what could be done. Trump quipped: “Personally I enjoy this. We lose weight. You know, you lose weight, we could do this, lose four or five pounds. It’s OK with me.”
