Users on the social media app TikTok are claiming some credit for the disappointing turnout at the president's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, [on June 20th], after a weeks-long campaign to artificially inflate the number of people registered to attend. The prank may have helped lead the Trump campaign to boast about more than a million people seeking tickets for the rally — while only about 6,200 ended up filling seats.Trump has to blame somebody for failing to fill the seats in his Superspreader Event in Tulsa, so rather than blame his campaign, he's blaming TikTok.
...
Two days before the rally, Mr. Trump said at the White House, "It's a crowd like, I guess, nobody's seen before. We have tremendous, tremendous requests for tickets — like, I think, probably has never happened politically before."
But when Mr. Trump walked onto the stage at Tulsa's BOK Center, there were fewer than 6,200 people there to see him, according to the city's fire department. About two-thirds of the stadium wasn't filled, and photos from the rally showed rows upon rows of empty blue chairs.
And that's why he's got such a mad on for them. The stated rationales for forcing the sale of TikTok are just eyewash. If it wasn't for what happened in Tulsa, or, more accurately, what didn't happen, Trump wouldn't give a rat's ass about TikTok.

Back about the time it slithered down the escalator I called it a troll, trolling us, trolling the American people in perhaps the grandest act of trolling ever... trolled by a bunch of kids. Priceless.
Yes, it.
He probably doesn't like Sarah Cooper much, either.
