Here are some of the puzzling things he's been up to lately in his race against Vice President Kamala Harris.

*His town hall became a 40-minute musical tribute

During a Pennsylvania town hall Monday night, Trump abruptly said he was done taking questions and wanted to "just listen to music," directing his staff to play "a couple of real beauties."

What followed was nearly 40 minutes of Trump singing along, swaying and lightly dancing on stage to a cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Franz Schubert's "Ave Maria," along with various hits by Sinead O'Connor, Elvis Presley, Guns N' Roses and the Village People.

*He inexplicably disparaged auto workers

Trump's campaign has been aggressively pursuing support from auto workers in Michigan, the capital of American car manufacturing. But he threw all that out the window Tuesday when he diminished their jobs as simply taking parts "out of a box" and said the work was so easy a child could do it.

"They build everything in Germany, and then they assemble it here. They get away with murder," Trump claimed during an appearance at the Economic Club of Chicago.

"They take them out of a box, and they assemble them. We could have our child doing it," he continued.

*He rattled off about Virginia when asked about Google

In another odd moment during his Chicago appearance on Tuesday, Trump responded to a question about whether Google should be broken up by saying he hasn't "gotten over" the Justice Department suing the state of Virginia for removing people from voter rolls.

Then, when the interviewer reminded Trump that the question was about Google, Trump said the tech company "is very bad to me."

"I called the head of Google the other day and said I'm getting a lot of good stories lately, but you don't find them in Google," Trump said. "I think it's a whole rigged deal. I think Google is rigged just like our government is rigged all over the place."

You people talk about Harris being in a bubble, Trump cannot and will not accede that his stated policies won't do more actual economic harm than good, even when the questions come from mostly sympathetic audiences, but also including those who believe in proven economic theorem and empirical data who might have thought that Trump has to have some business acumen behind his policies that they just aren't seeing. Now, these people are seeing that Trump is exactly what Harris called him, an unserious man. He doesn't answer any direct question about his policies, because he can't in any way coherent in the definition of the word itself. He was asked about breaking up Google and its potential ramifications. He instead talked about a judge halting Virginia's too-close-to-the-election purge of voter rolls, signifying each one was a "bad vote" with no recognition or understanding that maybe no one on the entire list might vote, because it's currently unquantifiable.

The new normal is weird as hell.

Now you know the rest of the story.

That is NOT the rest of the story, it's another lame deflection by Visiturd who obviously can't comprehend written word above the level Trump speaks it.

The event began normally enough, at least by Trump standards, but, after two interruptions for apparent medical emergencies in the audience, Trump lost interest. "Let's just listen to music. Who the hell wants to hear questions?" he said.

I don't know who's more touched in the head, Trump or Visiturd trying to pawn off his stupidity upon unsuspecting readers.

Don't blame me because you were misled (again) by this lying Huffpost hit piece.

The piece I quoted is from The Atlantic, not HuffPost. You'd know that if you could read. Keep coming back and proving how illiterate you are. It's great comedy. And of course you also ignored what I stated in the very first post.

I suggest everyone look up both(videos) and just look and listen. That's it. Do yourself a favor if you haven't seen them.

No one needs your insipid gaslighting around here Visiturd. Why don't you go play in traffic and let the adults discuss actual facts instead of fantasy untethered to reality.

What a rube.

and your copy paste of text is (as usual) uncredited.

I always link to source material.*

*Unless the copy is from the linked article to begin with and that usually applies to the first post or direct inferences back to the article's content in subsequent posts.

I can't view the Atlantic article without signing up.

You don't read that which is posted, so why should I care about your limitations?

Based on available evidence you were either fooled and spreading misinformation

Based on all evidence, you're either a fool, a charlatan, an imbecile, a troll, or all of the above.

I've never gaslighted on any topic at any time, ever. I'm all about the truth here on Earth 1, not the MAGAverse that you inhabit with your tinfoil hat and inability to access some of the most important commentators and historians of our time.

Trump and his minions cannot tell the truth about anything which is why they recoil at being fact checked in real time by those who know the truth and will not let lies stand unopposed.

That is precisely how I roll. My opinions can be as wrong as the next person, but my eyes see clearly. Niccole Wallace played the entire 39 minutes of Trump's musical interlude yesterday on her show that leaves no doubt about the circumstances surrounding him eschewing taking questions from those patiently waiting and instead calling for music to be played while he swayed and jabbed his arms to YMCA, perhaps the gayest song in the history of popular music - a song celebrating "young men" going to and hooking up at the YMCA, a place where women were not allowed to be in the late 70s when the song came out. Many YMCA's had male residences connected to them as a lower cost alternative to hotels and motels for men seeking overnight accomodations. Gay men of the day knew exactly what the song alluded to and celebrated it accordingly.

No one denied that Trump halted his show so that the two audience members could be treated individually as they collapsed from the sheer heat of the venue. But his sing- and dance-along occurred after the people were cared for - and yes again, Ave Maria was played as one person was being looked after. But that was not the case with the other songs and his refusal to actually give the audience what they came there for: Answers to the normal questions town halls are conducted for the candidate to address.

What a sad waste of your life. Couldn't you be doing something more productive with your time? In other words, be better.

The self-retorting retort strikes again. How can someone be so blinded in projection not to understand every accusation they level is an indictment upon their own lack of contributing anything worthwhile and non-mendacious whatsoever?
