Kamala Harris Questions Trump’s Mental Fitness After Surreal Town Hall Performance

Share

In a pointed attack, Vice President Kamala Harris raised concerns about Donald Trump’s mental fitness for office on Tuesday, following a bizarre incident at a televised town hall where the former president broke into an impromptu music and dance session. The event, held just three weeks before the U.S. presidential election, has put Trump’s health and stability at the center of the campaign.

Trump, 78, appeared “lost, confused, and frozen on stage,” according to Harris’s campaign, which has ramped up its focus on the Republican candidate’s fitness for leadership. The town hall, held Monday night in Oaks, near Philadelphia, began with routine questions from supporters about the economy. However, the mood shifted when two medical emergencies in the audience prompted a pause in proceedings.

What followed was an unexpected 39-minute interlude where Trump played a series of his favorite songs, abandoning the discussion entirely. The ex-president swayed awkwardly on stage, telling his team to “crank up the volume” and cut short the Q&A session, declaring, “Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?”

This impromptu dance break, featuring tracks ranging from the Village People’s “YMCA” to opera, Guns N’ Roses, and Elvis, went on for nine songs. Trump alternated between dancing and standing still, gazing into the crowd.

Harris reacted to the incident with a dry comment on social media platform X, stating, “Hope he’s okay.” Despite the mounting criticism, Trump remained undeterred, arriving 90 minutes late to a rally in Atlanta on Tuesday, where he again performed to “YMCA” but did not address the previous night’s episode.

During his speech in Atlanta, Trump repeated his usual rhetoric on immigration, including false claims about migrant crime in Colorado and Ohio. He also referred to the United States as being “occupied” by foreign criminals. While he attempted to move on from Monday’s unusual performance, the incident has only intensified scrutiny over his mental fitness ahead of the November 5 election.
