Astrid Lund - Betty MacDonald fan club organizer: "Donald Trump is really very sick. What he finds funny is cynical and tasteless!"------------------------ After a good half hour and a series of questions from the audience, the first medical emergency occurred in the auditorium. Trump asked the director to play the song "Ave Maria" over the loudspeaker while paramedics took care of the affected person. The "Ave Maria" is played mainly at weddings and funerals.--------------------------------------- DER SPIEGEL Donald Trump has Ave Maria played - and ends rally 8 hours • 2 minutes reading time "Does anyone else want to faint?" Donald Trump asked the visitors to his town hall rally after two medical emergencies. And while the paramedics were working, he came up with an idea. A campaign event of the Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump was interrupted twice due to medical emergencies in the audience and finally ended early. The event in the state of Pennsylvania was designed as a kind of citizen dialogue - "town hall" - moderated by the Republican governor of South Dakota and Trump supporter Kristi Noem. After a good half hour and a series of questions from the audience, the first medical emergency occurred in the audience. Trump asked the director to play the song "Ave Maria" over the loudspeaker while paramedics looked after the affected person. The "Ave Maria" is played mainly at weddings and funerals. A second medical emergency followed just a short time later on the other side of the stage. Trump and Noem complained about the heat in the hall and asked the security staff to open the doors. Trump tried to make a joke out of the predicament, according to the website of the US broadcaster ABC: The heat is good for losing weight: "Personally, I'm enjoying it right now. We can lose weight doing it. No, really, that's how you lose weight. So we could... lose four or five pounds like that." The event was finally over. Trump and Noem did not leave the stage immediately, but stayed there for a while. "Does anyone else want to faint?" Trump asked jokingly. He asked the director to play "Ave Maria" again and then asked for a series of other songs, which he danced to. "Let's make it a music festival," said Trump. "Who the hell wants to ask questions now?" said Trump. And he swayed to his music for quite a while, ABC reports. At campaign events, medical emergencies and, as a result, interruptions occur again and again. Many visitors wait for hours to be admitted, security is strict, and some people reach the end of their strength. Harris is also campaigning in Pennsylvania The swing state of Pennsylvania is considered one of the decisive states in the election due to the close race between Trump and his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Some experts even consider it the most important of all due to the high number of electoral votes. Without a victory in the state, which has a strong middle class, entering the White House would at least be much more difficult. Harris was also campaigning in Pennsylvania on Monday evening (local time). The presidential election will take place on November 5th. According to polls, a very close race between Harris and Trump is to be expected. According to the New York Times, which presents several polls in an overview, Harris is currently ahead by a razor-thin margin of one percentage point.
