I checked out the livestream vod because I was confused what they meant by him “standing there for 30 minutes” but yup. He wasn’t like awkwardly zoned out or anything, there was music and quite a few people on stage doing a bit of shuffling around… but like he wasn’t speaking to anyone, he wasn’t on his phone, they were all just kind of watching the crowd.

But like that’s what makes it weird. Like even if I wanted to watch the crowd leave, surely I’d do it while speaking to the people next to me?

(He did start talking to supporters after, but there was a good 20 minute window where he wasn’t)
