Trump campaign, tomorrow: leftist protestors reprogrammed Google Maps so nobody could find the arena

Trump on Monday: I WILL BOMB THE K-POP!

leftist protestors reprogrammed Google Maps so nobody could find the arena

10 people showed up in Tulsa but 999,990 showed up in Tulas.

Basking in the warm glow of knowing that either Parscale is getting fired for this (lol I hate him) or Parscale is not getting fired (trump is the problem for the campaign but keeping someone so obviously inept in charge is good too).

NPR winning the balance war:

Trump Returns To Campaign Trail With A Familiar Message In A Changing World

So I guess this guy is still the President eh?

For reals like not being dramatic, I’m sick to my stomach that grown people are ok with this fucking display.

I will quite literally never forgive “the adults” for letting this happen

NPR’s pathetically toothless but I’m OK with them highlighting this typical grotesque shit I haven’t really seen bolded elsewhere.

“Trump again played on racist stereotypes and nicknames, labeling the coronavirus the "Chinese virus" to approving laughs from the crowd, and even adding in the phrase "kung flu."

He created a fictional story about life under the left, referencing when a "tough hombre" tries to break into a house and a woman in it, whose husband was away for work, tried to call 911, but the number was no longer working.”

this was taken after the rally tonight

I really just want him to die on the toilet like Elvis. Preferably mid-tweet.

remember the hope of "covfefe"

That picture is spectacular xxp

hearing that the million tickets sold was actually a bunch of teens pranking the system.

THough that might be negative if it does mean that people would have booked what were empty seats otherwise.

Hate to think ill of most people but do hope the covid got around yesterday and introduced itself to the non-believers. Might have made some converts.

There are now 800,000 teenagers who can flag every email and text message from the Trump campaign as spam, triggering spam filters and disrupting communications.

This would be outstanding. It can be devilish to rectify this shit

lol so he actually bragged about supposedly ordering a slowdown in testing, to make the numbers look better? galaxy brain, dawg! keep going!

You can't attribute that to K-Pop trolls. All they did was cause Trump's team to overestimate the demand, waste time and money building an outdoor stage, and make excuses to the press. Which, worth it, cos that shit's funny.

But the tickets weren't capped, so anybody who showed up would have gotten in. These troll campaigns happen all the time. Usually the event still fills up.

I bet COVID played a role, kinda hilarious given how his base are the skeptics.

Yeah when he announced it my first thought was this thing’s going to be 1/3 full

He's said the test slowdown shit before, just not at a rally.

touting it as an achievement and taking it on the campaign trail is next-level though

I bet COVID played a role, kinda hilarious given how his base are the skeptics.

saw pictures from the rally with more ppl in attendance wearing masks than u would've thought

i was hoping they'd all eat each other.

"EY UR WEARIN A MASK, U TRYIN TO DISRESPECT THE PRESIDENT"?

thank god some wore masks and convinced me theyre not all total morans

hey on fathers day i give only unfunny dad joekz

They were handing out masks, so maybe they figured, hey, free mask.

Remember, everything this asshole does only gets 35% support, so it makes sense that that would extend to venue capacity. The real red flag is that this was open ticketing, people *travelled* to the event, and they put out a last call for more people. Anyone that wanted to go could go. But one reason or another people did not go, and all of those reasons are bad for Asshole.

btw, that picture of dejected sweaty Trump would make a great velvet painting.

Republican support from Trump only just recently dipped into the high 80s. These people are the enemy. Their entire worldview needs to be comprehensively crushed. Generations of descendants need to feel so ashamed that they would never admit their ancestors’ support even in court. I mean, I can start to understand the Ghengis Khan mentality of burning the town, riding off a ways, then coming back the next day to see who’s crawled out and taking care of them too.

The testing thing is going to be in every advert until he says something worse.

"I'm hearing protesters created COVID in a Jamba Juice"

can't prove they didn't!

saw pictures from the rally with more ppl in attendance wearing masks than u would've thought

pics please!

in all the pics i saw (in media outlets or just people posting pics on twitter) i was playing a side game of "count the masks", usually not being able to count more than a handful even when there were hundreds of people in the frame

I saw one mask and frankly that's more than I would have expected

and they also wore it on their face and not up their butt which was also unexpected

it was a great day

btw those gravel teens trying to reserve fake tickets had absolutely zero effect, i have it on good authority:

Wow. @TeamTrump just blasted out this statement from @parscale denying that any TikTok teens/K-Pop stans had an effect on the campaign's actions. pic.twitter.com/sBzDuh0B5J

he's right in most regards re: their impact, but this means the other explanations are that his followers are weenies that got scared of a few protesters or they stayed home, scared of COVID

The self-flushing toilet keeps on flushing:

@Parscale forgot to put the "I am over 18" checkbox on the Tulsa signup screen so now he has the personal information of a million or so minors. So the Trump campaign is likely in violation of COPPA.... pic.twitter.com/zaFnPhhSfE

heh, yeah! he's also, i think, saying that when they previously said they had 1 million ticket requests, that was _after_ taking into account the fake requests. after all, he did say they "constantly weed out the bogus numbers, as we did with tens of thousands at the Tulsa rally, in calculating our possible attendee pool"

if that's the case, then the scary liberal mob managed to reduce attendance from 1 million god-fearing patriots down to a touch over 6000

Imagine being the guy who waited in line for five days realizing he could literally have waltzed in ten minutes before showtime and got a spot 40 feet from Trump.

They already trotted out the "he was joking" defense re: testing slowdown

The World's Unfunniest Man Strikes Again!

obvious point, but the problem with the constant "he was joking" defense is that it's trotted out when he was clearly joking, and it's trotted out when he clearly wasn't joking.

Every time Trump confesses to horrible crimes and the next day wriggles out by claiming it was a joke, it's time for Sartre's famous quote about Nazis. https://t.co/O0IbTK4LUD pic.twitter.com/4u7orI2A2x

XP ^^Also known as "The Zappa Defense".

lol, now you're just trolling me

funny how Trump always used to use the "fake news never shows the crowds" line. well they're showing the crowd now

which means now he is the most unfairly treated person

...what? i was joking! what?!

btw, another obvious point but the "what? i was joking! what?!" is a signature bully move
