"I think I'm going to stand,¡± the ex-president says in a video clip from the town hall.
Trump continues: ¡°This chair is the most uncomfortable chair. I've had it. First of all, it spins, and the one thing I don't want is to fall on my a**, because that's gonna be¡ªthat will be¡ªthe only story. They'll say, 'Sir, you did great. Too bad you fell.' That would be the only story.¡±
¡°So I'm not sitting in that sucker. I think it's a booby trap that was put there by Kamala."
In the video, Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who was co-hosting the Fayetteville event, is seen instantly rising back up after Trump refuses to sit. For the next half-minute, the congresswoman stands there, giggling at her Republican colleague's remarks.
Other footage from the NC town hall shows that Trump couldn't resist the chair for long and eventually sat in it.
Paulina, the first Mexican-American woman to hold a congressional seat in her state, was later seen supporting Trump's charges of budget diversion against FEMA.
