MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace showed viewers Tuesday the entire 39-minute musical episode of Donald Trump in a town hall a day earlier, expressing concerns about Trump’s “stability and ability to handle anything other than what’s planned for him in his bubble.”
The former president took questions at an event in Pennsylvania, but due to some confusion, decided to end the format and instead sway and dance to music on stage for nearly 40 minutes.
“We’re going to air the whole thing to give you an idea of how long 39 minutes is and how long this has been going on if you were there,” Wallace told viewers on “Deadline: White House.”
“We will continue to talk. I’ll leave it at the bottom of the screen, but just to make it clear, I’ll put a clock on it and count the minutes. Then everyone will be able to experience for themselves how excruciatingly long and downright strange it is. The presidential candidate interrupts the event and then plays a campaign soundtrack for 38 minutes while he stands and shakes,” she said.

The video appeared in the corner of the screen with a timer counting down, while Wallace continued the broadcast, interviewing several guests.
Trump’s dance party heightened concerns about his cognitive state as the election approaches. The Republican candidate’s speeches are increasingly filled with meandering interludes, disjointed jumps from topic to topic, unclear words, and inconsistent or irrelevant answers to questions.
He declined to disclose details of his medical history. Vice President Kamala Harris shared her views Saturday and pressured Trump to do the same, prompting several heated outbursts from her opponent.
