Viral video and social media reactions
The video, posted on X (formerly known as Twitter) shortly after the rally, shows Trump pausing for an extended period while speaking.The moment has sparked speculation online, with some viewers suggesting it might indicate a “glitch” or “brain freeze.”
One user tweeted, “I feel like everyone needs to see Trump glitching for a full 21 seconds at his Bozeman rally last night. Nobody even tried to check on him. This is elder abuse. He’s way too old to be up that late.”
Another critic added, “Trump had a brain freeze for 21 sec and the press are not screaming for him to step down. This tells you all you need to know on how corrupt our US press are right now.”
Supporters offer alternative explanation
In response, some of Trump’s supporters defended him, suggesting that the pause was due to a medical emergency involving someone in the audience rather than any personal issue.
One supporter argued, “Trump did not ‘freeze’ or ‘glitch’ in Montana last night. Someone had a medical emergency and Trump waited for them to be taken off. The lies are just never ending.”
While another said, “There was a medical emergency in the crowd and Trump was pausing while the lady was taken care of.”
Campaign disruptions
The controversy over the video follows other disruptions related to Trump’s campaign. Earlier on the day of the rally, Trump’s plane had to be diverted to Billings due to a mechanical issue, which caused a delay in his schedule.
During the Bozeman rally, Trump focused on targeting three-term Senator Jon Tester, whom he failed to unseat in the 2018 election. The Trump campaign has not yet addressed the video or the surrounding controversy.
As the discussion continues, the campaign’s response and any potential clarification on the incident remain awaited.
