Over a hundred thousand dead of Covid-19 and his supporters cheered him on because he was able to take a sip of water unassisted. If he get another 4 years we're going to see him poop in the potty on stage.
Hauling tents and coolers, Trump supporters line up days in advance for Tulsa rally
James Massery, 57, of Preston, Oklahoma said he was using his vacation days from work to make sure he gets into the rally.news.yahoo.com
TULSA – Robin Stites wasn't the first person in line for President Donald Trump's rally, but she was proud that she secured the No. 2 spot.Wednesday, the Sallisaw, Oklahoma woman and a few friends sat in portable chairs under a large blue umbrella that offered shade from the sun beaming outside the BOK Center in downtown Tulsa. Stites, 58, captured her place in line on Monday and she said the wait until Saturday's rally will be worth it."I'd love to let him know we're here for him. We want to show our support," she said. "We feel like President Trump and his family have dedicated their lives to helping our country. Sacrificing a week of our lives is nothing for what Trump has done for us."James Massery, 57, of Preston, Oklahoma said he was using his vacation days from work to make sure he gets into the rally.----------------------------------Broken Arrow, Oklahoma residents Preston Hanning, 25, and his friend Stephen Corley said they were part of a large group of family and friends who decided they didn't want to risk being turned away if the rally filled up quickly.Hanning said his parents drove by early in the week and saw that a line had already formed so the family came up with a plan to join others outside the BOK Center. He pointed to the tents, coolers full of water and other items they packed for the wait.----------------------------------Hanning pointed out that the Trump campaign has said it plans to open several overflow venues if the rally at the BOK Center fills up."That just shows the support Trump has," he said.

Not in a deep red state he won by like 30 points, pent up "demand" to see him campaign after being sidelined for months, in a 19,000 seat venue, after being hyped to all hell.
That's abysmal.
Reminds me of the epic rally of late president Roh Moohyon in 2000.

(spoiler alert: He was elected president 3 years later)
That is why I do not put too much stake in this. The guy is trying harder to re-elect than anyone that I remember in last 25 years. More than Biden. Only fool will under estimate him.
That's a given.
Imagine being trapped on the plane home with him... LOL
Man i don't know what is sadder the fact that they waited for nothing or that they are so deep in the cult that even if you told them they would say fake newsHauling tents and coolers, Trump supporters line up days in advance for Tulsa rally

What's really hilarious about this all: Trump got tons of bad press all week about stuffing tens of thousands into an arena in a state where they weren't requiring mask use, in a city that has some of the worst historical race relations when we're in the middle of a second Civil rights movement. He even tried to stoke violence earlier in the week by threatening any would-be protesters.
His campaign believed they had nearly a million people ready to line the streets and they couldn't even fill out the lower bowl of the arena. The only violence they got was a fight between two dudes in the parking lot. And then Trump spent 15 minutes puffing up his own bruised ego by talking about water and ramps.
His campaign was outplayed by the very social media machine it used so effectively four years ago.
And then this defeated walk off the plane tells the story. He spent most of that flight home raging. Brad Parscale is probably out of a job by Monday.

Unfortunately, they played their hand in that that's already by trying to say protesters blocked people from getting in. Not only is there proof against that, the TikTok thing came out later that night to show how badly the campaign had been fooled.
And a lot of those people are from out of state. Those aren't just Tulsa or even Oklahoma residents.
So we know that all week they were bragging about how many tickets they sold and how it sold out in minutes. And then 6200 people show up, right?
Is there at least someone with the campaign that's aware that they're spewing bullshit and hoping people don't notice? For some reason I'm slightly less bothered by the idea that someone is like "Eh, about six thousand will show but we'll just tell everyone it's sold out" than I am of Trump having destroyed the cognition of everyone around him so thoroughly that they've now convinced themselves that 6200 = SOLD OUT ARENA.

Cant remember where I read that said they actually knew hundreds of thousands were fake but assumed copious enough will show up for it to not matter
This is not good and Trump knows it. Tulsa has been solid Republican for decades. If Trump can only manage this ho hum attendance this close to reelection well that doesn't look good.
Oh well. I hope he gets destroyed and embarrassed come November.

Wow! Look at him walk like an ambulatory human being! Even on that steep slope!
Good. You know this pissed him off. Love that the tik tok and Kpop crowd inflated the numbers.
But if he couldn't get people to fill this place up and just over 6,100 people showed up...wow. That's not good for someone who boasts crowd numbers.

If anyone complains that the media is making a big deal about this. Remind then that it wouldn't be a big deal if he didn't always make it so.
I was curious how this compared to previous rallies and found this article from newsweek end of august 2019:
No doubt this is a huge embarrassment and blow to his morale. Fantastic.

Someone needs to add the Charlie Brown music to Trump's walk of shame.
Assuming they acknowledge it at all, I think the spin will be that too many people showed up, and they had no choice but to cancel the outdoor show because of COVID concerns (or protestors, it was a bunch of ultra-violent antifa goons that tore down the outdoor stage). And the indoor stadium's capacity was really only 6200 to begin with because of social distancing and limiting capacity. So it was really sold out after all, you see. Don't listen to the fake news.
Brad has been tweeting that the protestors wouldn't let the people in. As if a million people showed up and only 6200 got through the evil antifa horde. Lol.
10 years from now Trump Jr will be doing the same shtick at county fairs, like the fake Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Maybe this will be the point where he pauses for some quiet reflection, and then reboots his campaign with a pivot to the center.
...yeah right we all know he is going to double down.

I can't wait to see the numbers when he goes to a blue state. He'll probably blame Antifa and Planned Parenthood
Trump Jr. gives me vibes of those garbage direct to video films that can only muster a "From the executive producer of (Famous Film from Ten Years ago)" as their selling line.
I do get very specific vibes from these clowns.
Right wingers are hearing about kpop from Korea disrupting their rally, and are now claiming dems are using outside influence to cheat the election. Its reminding me of this:
None of the other Trump family members have the same insanity as their father that makes him so appealing to the chuds, you could see it last night with Eric fumbling on stage. Thank God for that.
