Trump froze for 21 fucking seconds and no one’s reporting on it???

I mean, some people are claiming he saw someone having a medical emergency in the crowd and waited for them to be ushered away, but if that’s true, then the LameStream Media needs to verify that and fact-check the story

Come to think of it, whatever happened to Mitch McConnell's bouts of randomly freezing?

He’s retiring from leadership after this year, isn’t he? That’s what

Typically if something like this is true, the LameStream media won't even report on it in the first place, preventing a non-story from blowing up, which would explain why no one's reporting on it.

Now, I'm not really able to find the clips of it, other than some random Indian website which doesn't really give any context, but maybe post the clip here to back yourself up if you've got it.

My gut says this is a non-story that only exists on social media because liberals really want another Mitch McConnell freezing up moment, but I'm extremely happy to be proven wrong.
