So, yes — Benedict Donald appeared to have a strange meltdown at what was supposed to be a Trump town hall in Pennsylvania Monday night. Ninety-nine percent of us who watched the tape know what we saw. But our good friends in the Fourth Estate can't decide whether he had a 40-minute cognitive glitch (punctuated by bobbing and swaying), or if he simply transformed the event into a "concert."
Let's face it: The media will never figure out how to cover Trump, even with his obvious mental decline. It's depressing. But at least the estate of Leonard Cohen has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Trump for including "Hallelujah" on his oddball playlist.
On Monday, it was Rufus Wainwright's cover of the classic Cohen song that played for the bewildered crowd, and the singer rushed out a statement expressing his horror.
"'Hallelujah' has become an anthem dedicated to peace, love and acceptance of the truth," he said. "Witnessing Trump and his supporters commune with this music last night was the height of blasphemy. Of course, I in no way condone this...And needless to say, I am all in for Kamala." We cats PURR.
