Meanwhile, Trump fielded questions from voters at City Hall in Philadelphia, but was interrupted twice due to medical emergencies in the room. The former president then demanded that the event be turned into a “music festival,” with President Trump on stage for 40 minutes, belting out hits from his campaign playlist including Hallelujah, November Rain and Nothing Compares 2.U.

Under the Trump administration, more incarcerated people were put to death in the federal system than under the previous 10 presidents combined, and that staggering number raised serious human rights concerns.
