WASHINGTON, DC: A crowd rental company has reported a 400% surge in inquiries for its services in Washington, DC, following President Donald Trump's move to federalize the city’s police force.

Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart told Fox News Digital that the company typically sees an uptick in requests during “high-stakes political moments.”

Crowds on Demand CEO Adam Swart says ‘vast majority’ of people at political events in DC are paid

“Right now, DC inquiries are up roughly 400% compared to the same period in 2024,” Swart said, referring to May–July of last year. “A large share are focused on opposing Trump’s policies in Washington and raising concerns about government overreach.”

Huh, the American MSM says all the Trump protests are all "organic".

Do they take reservations? Can you ask for a small crowd or a mid-size? What if you get there and they are out of crowds? The reservation is supposed to keep the crowd there. Anyone can take reservations. It’s is the holding that counts.

But Trump is kicking out the homeless bums and arresting the street thugs. Where will they get enough to supply the demand?......................

Good way to dry up the USAID money before the mid terms.

General Dynamics owned an operation in South Africa. FSU paid for daily protests. A bus delivered warm bodies. They were handed a sign and box lunch and the sat there 8 hours per day. Bus picked them up at five.

Sort of like paid mercenary soldiers. That would then change the definition of these gatherings and they would not be protected by the first amendment but rather what they really are…insurrections.

Seems the crowd rental company has diversified into anti-Trump internet protesters. Soros bunch is branching out into a variety of services.

I love it when Trump forces the thugs to dip into their pockets again, and to no avail.

Think of it as another way to drain the swamp.

I appreciate your thriftiness. My suggestion, if you can only afford to go small, is to rent some transgendered. They’re insane and very violent as a group, so you really get your money’s worth

In other words, the protests are all phony.

The Subway hurler was one of the paid protesters.

Is it true that a DC judge released him on recognizance?

You could apply for one of the positions, and carry a sign: “Criminals against Trump!”

So it's common knowledge that there is an actual rent-a-mob company being used for anti-Trump protests, but the same media that always labels what the President says as claims not statements, and usually adds "without evidence" for good measure, breathlessly reports every protest as real and determined resistance.

Ok, so the rental companies skirt around the I-9 process by engaging these “independent” contractors. But they are still required to obtain a filled-out IRS form W-9 from each contractor.

So, the question comes, are these contractors or are they employees according to the IRS regulations? If the latter, these rental companies are in for a world of hurt.

The next step is to audit these contractors, because I seriously doubt that they are declaring the income. Finally, indict them all as unregistered lobbyists.
