The AP story said that the house was 2/3rds full. The city fire marshal said there were less than 6,200 attendees, or under 1/3rds full in a 19,000 seat area.
Dumpy's campaign, remember, claimed that a million people requested tickets.
So, in a state that Bunker Boy won by 2 to 1, or over 500,000 votes, he couldn't persuade 19,000 people to come take in his freak show of racism, conspiracy theories and pandemic denialism?
Trump and pence planned to speak before the indoor rally at an outdoor overflow rally outside of the area. That was canceled for lack of interest. He wasn't happy.
Mr. Trump was furious about the unused outdoor stage and the comparatively thin crowd in the stadium, according to two people familiar with his reaction. News broadcasts carried video of the partially empty stadium, and even the Drudge Report, a reliably conservative website, carried an all-caps headline that said “MAGA LESS MEGA” with a picture of rows and rows of empty blue seats.Only losers blame the public for not buying a product. And Trump, make no mistake about it, is a a product: Finely refined political snake oil.
By the way, this is desecration of the Flag:
Perhaps this is good news. If the people of Oklahoma, where everyone in my family but me was born, are smart enough to stay away from corona-palooza, then maybe we can keep the pandemic from becoming the unbridled monster the too soon reopening is threatening to make it.

DeletePer your title, would it be uncharitable to suggest that Trump was playing with less than 52 cards?
ReplyDeleteDA, I think that’s it’s a given that Trump is several bricks shy of a full hod.
ReplyDeleteNot all the puppies are barking?
ReplyDeleteHis Happy Meal is missing the fries.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I had missed the piece about the overflow area. There're plenty of reports of fake ticket buying but if that was really to blame you'd think the overflow area would've been packed, no? Doesn't seem to have been the case.
ReplyDeleteHereabouts, it's "one taco short of a combination plate".
ReplyDeleteAnd any Boy Scout would know not to literally wrap the flag around himself, kiss it and fondle it. I thought trump was going to hump it like he does Putin's leg. If called on it he probably said it was a 'joke'.
ReplyDeleteLike calling himself 'the Chosen One' to those god botherers. The deluded christiopaths and the little apartheid tail wagging the dog. Just another 'joke' like moving the embassy to Jerusalem so the palastine teen protesters-on the other side of the wire-would be gunned down. Early blood on trump's hands. Virtually forgotten now.
