Washington:
Kamala Harris today questioned Donald Trump’s state of mind after the 78-year-old Republican’s latest televised town hall turned into a bizarre, unexpected music session.
“I hope he’s doing well,” she posted on X.
With just three weeks to go, Harris’ campaign has begun attacking Trump’s health, age and state of mind.
However, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said “something very special” had taken place during the event.
The session was moderated by a right-wing ally, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, in Oaks, Pennsylvania, where Trump even got the election date wrong by two months and urged his supporters to vote “on January 5th.”
When the town hall paused for two audience members needing medical attention, Trump jokingly asked if “anyone else would like to pass out,” later declaring, “Let’s not ask any more questions.”
‘Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make music out of it. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?’ he said.
For more than half an hour, Trump’s playlist blared as the candidate stood on stage for nine hours, listening as his dance moves gradually changed from jerky to swaying.
HARRIS Questions Trump’s State of Mind
“Trump appears lost, confused and frozen on stage as multiple songs play for over 30 minutes and the audience leaves the venue early,” Ms Harris’ campaign posted on the town hall.

In response to Harris’ post, one of the X users wrote, “He needs to release his medical records now. This is bad.’
He must now release his medical records. This is bad.

While one of Trump’s supporters commented: “As someone who was there the whole time, this is a bald-faced lie. It was Trump’s idea to play the music – and he even picked some of the songs.”
To someone who was there the whole time, this is a blatant lie.
It was Trump’s idea to play the music – and he even selected some of the songs.

TRUMP’S CLAP BACK
He attacked Harris in multiple posts published on his own Truth Social platform after the Pennsylvania town hall, declaring him “much saner” than “Clinton, Bush, Obama, Biden, but especially Kamala.”
“Kamala’s medical report is really bad. With all the problems she has, there is a real question as to whether or not she should run for president! MY REPORT IS PERFECT – NO PROBLEMS!!!,” Trump wrote on his platform.
He called Harris “desperate” for saying he had to provide reports to the American people, saying, “She’s dying to see my cholesterol (which is 180!).”
Trump, the oldest person nominated for a presidential bid after Joe Biden withdrew from the race, has not released a recent comprehensive report on his health, prompting Harris to sharply criticize it. However, the latter turns 60 this Sunday and has released a medical report in which the White House doctor declared that she is “in excellent health”, with the “physical and mental resilience” to serve as president.
