When Trump was giving his speech last night the cameramen (in an unusual act) panned the crowd. Then I noticed what they were up to - they had found two or three spots with empty seats.
Since Trump had mentioned people had been turned away at the door - it’s easy to assume this ‘Trump’s not THAT popular’ stunt is a new coordinated meme. It would be easy to do - forty democrats get in line - come in together then leave when the speech starts. Cameramen are told to check the venue for empty seats and broadcast the empty seats.
Fits right in the New York Times lie.
In the past the cameramen would swing those stationary cameras around only when some ‘protester’ was being tossed out - but that was working FOR Trump... this one’s more subliminal.
The empty seats in the upper part of arena behind Trump were intentional - a security measure.
