Trump Pennsylvania event derailed after audience members faint

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s effort to court voters at a sweltering town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs came to a premature end and transformed into an impromptu dance party after multiple audience members fainted Monday, requiring medical attention.

The interruptions began around 40 minutes after Trump took the stage, with the former president pausing his discussion with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to summon a doctor.

“This is a little bit of a tough one,” Trump said while watching the scene at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Centre unfold.

Shortly after a supporter was escorted from the arena, Trump resumed his remarks – only for another person to quickly faint.

Trump walked to the side of the stage to consult with event staff and his security, asking if doors could be opened to allow in cold air. He requested his staff to begin playing Luciano Pavarotti’s rendition of “Ave Maria” while doctors attended to those in the crowd.

“Personally, I enjoy this,” Trump said. “We lose weight, you know, now you lose weight. We could do this, lose four or five pounds.”
