What do a Tulsa Trump Rally and a Trump wife have in common? Nobody comes.

I love the fact that all the trumpanzees weren’t wearing masks last night.

Come on,
Trump

And the great data they got?
Apparently, Parscale forgot to put the "I am over 18" checkbox on the Tulsa signup screen so now he has the personal information of a unknown number, possibly a million or so minors. So the Trump campaign is likely in violation of COPPA....

That makes it garbage at best.

Tweety’s campaign looks like it’s really the Deathstar and the TikTok/Kpop rebels blew it up.
Once again demonstrating that Tweety’s idea of the best people is laughable

It was only half-full at the rally.

You see the third deck? Empty...

I can’t believe that out of all the red hats in the country, only 10,000 could make it to his dramatic return.

I love it!

Fire department estimated the crowd at 6,200. The overflow rally had to be cancelled. I tried to watch some of it but there was nothing but the airing of petty grievances.

I really don’t understand how anyone can support this person.

What a flop. This is all they have.

I watched some of it and all I could think of was George Castansa’s dad’s story about Festivus.

I guess it was a rally for the rest of us.

Quick question, was his West Point appearance his Feat of Strength?

Maybe I should send him a stripper pole and say it’s for Festivus.

You’d think instead of spending 10 minutes to explain why he had trouble with a glass of water or walking down a ramp he could have used that time to address covid or the protests. Wait, he really doesn’t care about either.

It could mean that Trump supporters who actually have a brain realized attending wasn’t worth the risk and then there are 6200 supporters who don’t have common sense and good judgement. I frankly am surprised SD’s better half didn’t spring for a charter flight and back stage pass, he clearly should have been there. Your biggest fans need to show up or shut up.

The best take away from Trump’s rally is that racism isn’t as popular as it used to be.

Did he talk at all about how is North Korean and Iranian policies worked so well? Did you give us an update when exactly he's going to wipe out the debt?

I think those topics were scheduled for the overflow rally.

His campaign were digging in on it was fear of protesters or protesters not allowing people in..to the event.. video has disproved such claims but clearly they dont care....

reality collided with fantasy and cult of personality and empty seats

The Trump admin. has been sitting on nearly $14B in funding that Congress passed for coronavirus testing and contact tracing.

Because if you don't test and don't trace contacts?

Watch the whole rally speech. It was spiced with a lot of humor--Trumpian humor. Your little video snippet doesn't do the tone and intention justice. It's a typical example of fake news.

From one of your favorite sources, The Guardian: "Navarro insisted Trump’s comment was 'tongue in cheek' and made in a 'light moment'. To Tapper’s contention that 'a deadly pandemic, where almost 120,000 Americans' have died might not be 'really a good subject for a light moment', Navarro said: 'He takes that absolutely seriously.' "

If you're used to Trump's style, you'ld take it for the "light moment" that it was. Of course, if you hate Trump you would absolutely say that he meant it.

Maybe some staffer will leak that he actually, seriously, requested that testing be slowed down. In the meantime, testing is voluminous.

The old fallback, he was being funny.

Meanwhile the Covid Task Force has disappeared, the testing for general admission to the WH has been dismantled and he sits on 14 Billion appropriated by Congress for testing and tracing while the 7 day average climbs to record highs in Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico, North Carolina, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah.

Not funny

And today when asked that question directly he didn’t answer.
Just like Ukraine, the gaslighting apparatus goes into operation.
In a week or so the new narrative will be, of course he did.
123,000 dead and he takes no responsibility

Keep plugging diligently away, eventually your gaslighting may work.

From The Hill:

"It was a comment that he made in jest," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told reporters Monday. "It's a comment that he made in passing, specifically with regard to the media coverage and pointing out the fact that the media never acknowledges that we have more cases because when you test more people, you find more cases."

Trump denied telling his administration to scale back testing in an interview on Monday with CBN News, but said he believed widespread testing put the U.S. at a "disadvantage." Trump said his remark at the rally was "semi tongue-in-cheek."

"Instead of 25 million tests, let's say we did 10 million tests. We'd look like we were doing much better because we'd have far fewer cases. You understand that," Trump said. "I wouldn't do that, but I will say this: We do so much more than other countries it makes us, in a way, look bad but actually we're doing the right thing."

It'll be interesting if you keep repeating the fake news that he really meant it, like you keep repeating the Charlottesville lie that he said Nazis are very fine people.

Vintage Trump, the deception is so blatant it's right in front of you. Of course Trump doesn't want testing because he thinks it hurts him politically, just like when he didn't want the American cruise ship passengers to disembark because it would have inflated the numbers.

If he actually said test less or not is somewhat irrelevant. Trump sets the tone by his actions and those in his administration and much of his base follow. This is why we have a VP writing absurd op-eds downplaying the threat and supporters who insist the media is hyping it even as more states see increases.

The Trump interview I saw last night on the topic would require complete self subjugation to Trumpism to take at face value. It made zero sense. One of the most serious global events we may see in our lifetimes and our leaders are trying to gaslight.

I really think your meds need to be checked, clearly your not paying attention, or is this early dementia? So your guy spends 15 minutes of a poorly attended rally explaining why he looked weak walking down a ramp and you think his plan for the country is a good one? It’s all about him, I think Bolton is a selfish individual for coming out now about what we already knew just by watching three years, but this clown cares ONLY about Trump.

It was typical Trump schtick using comedy to illustrate a point. I watched Trump's whole speech and it was laced with his brand of funny. I thought his enactment of the ramp thing was typical Trump sardonic humor.

You guys always manage to turn his schtick into psychopathic evil.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
I gave John Bolton, who was incapable of being Senate confirmed because he was considered a wacko, and was not liked, a chance. I always like hearing differing points of view. He turned out to be grossly incompetent, and a liar. See judge’s opinion. CLASSIFIED INFORMATION!!!

Trump recently stated he has done more for African Americans than anyone since Abraham Lincoln, he uses race to win elections, caring zip for anyone it’s all about him retaining the show and the power. In 2016 it was the dreaded immigrants streaming unchecked into our country, now he knows race issues may take him down in 2020, so it’s all spin now.

Tell me what 15 minutes of discussion about his ramp walk did to help you understand his 2020 platform? I was born, but not yesterday, I see this poser for who he is, I will vote him out and I hope the country agrees. This guy in four years will ruin this country, the environment, our relationships with our allies and embolden our enemies.

Abe Lincoln walked the first step, emancipation.
Abe didn't have the time, and probably not the inclination, to take the next necessary steps. A black analyst, Democrat, shows how Trump took further steps: https://www.newsmax.com/jackbrewer/t.../12/id/924217/

And spin is the polish all politicians, media, and commentators use to embellish their "message." Your pointing to Trump using spin is, like, yeah . . . duh! Hey, you and I are devotees of the method too.

No need for you to be a hypocrite.

Generally, Presidents don't have a political platform, the political party creates and publishes the platform. Rallies, generally, are meant to energize the voters. Humor, such as the ramp schtick, help to generate enthusiasm.

Keep believing and spinning, you should change your response font color to orange at least then you would be consistent. On a side note who the f*ck are you, I’ve been a member on this site for probably as long as anyone and yet I’ve never seen one post of yours on the main board or any for that matter, do you even own a fishing rod?
