Donald Trump surprised attendees with an unconventional response to medical emergencies during his campaign event.
Chaos erupted at a campaign event in Iowa when two medical emergencies occurred in the audience.
Donald Trump, who was on stage, initially responded by having the song “Ave Maria” played while paramedics attended to the individuals in need.
When a second emergency happened shortly afterward, Trump joked about the heat in the room, commenting that it was “a good way to lose weight.”
Despite the incidents, Trump did not end the event abruptly. Instead, he remained on stage, had “Ave Maria” played again, and requested additional songs, eventually dancing to the music.
“Let’s make it a music festival,” he said, then added: “Who wants to ask questions now?”
According to a report by Der Spiegel, the event turned chaotic after the emergencies, yet Trump attempted to lighten the mood with jokes about the heat and the situation in the hall.
His response was seen by some as inappropriate, as he appeared to shift the focus from the seriousness of the situation to entertainment.
