President Donald Trump paused his Missouri rally after a woman fainted on Nov. 5.

During the approximately 8-minute break, the crowd began singing “Amazing Grace.”

Trump was speaking when he noticed something had gone wrong.

“Is there a doctor in the house, please? Doctor? Please. Thank you,” Trump said, pointing toward a portion of the crowd in Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau.

Trump told the medical staff to take their time as he stepped away from the podium and stopped talking. He did return to tell the crowd to “say a little prayer,” and soon after members began singing “Amazing Grace.”

After the rendition, the crowd broke into applause.

The woman was eventually taken away for treatment and a person in a suit signaled to the president that she would be fine.
