Former President Donald Trump unexpectedly turned his Monday night rally in Philadelphia into a musical performance, much to the surprise of both his supporters and the media.

Liberal outlets, like [insert specific outlet names], described the event as “weird,” “disastrous,” and evidence of Trump’s cognitive decline.
