TULSA, Okla. — President Trump’s attempt to revive his re-election campaign sputtered badly on Saturday night as he traveled to Tulsa for his first mass rally in months and found a far smaller crowd than his aides had promised him, then delivered a disjointed speech that did not address the multiple crises facing the nation or scandals battering him in Washington.
The weakness of Mr. Trump’s drawing power and political skills, in a state that voted for him overwhelmingly and in a format that he favors, raised new questions about his electoral prospects for a second term at a time when his poll numbers were already falling. And rather than speak to the wide cross-section of Americans who say they are concerned about police violence and systemic racism, he continued to use racist language, describing the coronavirus as “Kung Flu.”
the 19,000-seat BOK Center was at least one-third empty during the rally.

NYT motto should now read:
“All the FITS that are news to print”
Trump needs to issue another EO and declare and enforce with arrests both BKM and Antifa .groups as terrorist groups and
charge there funders too .
No more games .
Let’s not pretend the rally was as well attended as past rallies. IT WAS NOT.
Not likely as Trump controls the FCC.
To be blunt about it as long as CHAZ or CHOP continues to exist people will have no confidence in Trump’s ability to secure voting sites.
Considering the Corona Hype is still going I think it WAS well attended.
What did they get tricked by?
The seats to Trump’s rallies are ALWAYS first come first served. That’s why people wait in line for days before his rallies.
No, rather than being played, I think the best thing is that this tactic by the left, which they are bragging about, has now been revealed to show that they will try to do anything to make Trump look bad. What really happens though, is that people see it for what it is. A scheme.
So it’s not news to me, and I don’t think this is a surprise to the Trump campaign either.
Now who wants to tell me they won’t engage in voter fraud by mail? The Democrats tipped their hand!
I have it give props to Trump. I always knew something was wrong with DC. It seemed like every time I thought I voted a good new person in, they still ended up being a giant jackass within a few years. There really are only a few good people there representing us.
Trump has exposed how corrupt DC is. The swamp is bigger and deeper than I thought, and I’ve thought this since the mid 1990’s. Now Trump exposes the Democrats for who they really are. Liars, cheaters, and Marxist all the way around.
Let them think they pranked Trump. I don’t think so. He’s just exposed their latest con.

Did a successful prank inflate attendance expectations for President Trump’s rally in Tulsa?

It blocked seats so everyone that wanted to couldn’t get in. And those outside blocked the metal detectors so even thise with reservations couldn’t get in, there were thousands left outside.

1000’s more peaceful & positive supporters with tickets are not being allowed past barricades. We were told there are ‘no more screeners’ to let us through the check points.
he makes it worse
Wait what happened to the screeners

Friend of mine trying to get in to Trump rally but can’t because protestors blocked the entrance until the gates were locked.

you got brian
If you don’t like President Trump, go to Biden’s basement for his rallies. Blocking entrances and buying up tickets so that not as many can enter, is acting like high school sophomores. We still know how to vote. And will.

Great NEWS!
I agree they will do anything, they are zealots. Yet I admire their willingness and creativity in pursuit of their goals. Old guys like me have a mindset stuck in 1980, and an over developed sense of fairplay.
They have tipped their hand and Trump should be shouting it from the rooftops.
AOC is a blabbermouth idiot.
Reports of 800,000+ ticket requests deterred a lot of people from even trying to go.
Millions.
Post of the thread, Buck.
We need to extract our heads from our 1980’s asses and realize we’re in a no holds barred Alinsky fight to the finish.

1000’s more peaceful & positive supporters with tickets are not being allowed past barricades. We were told there are ‘no more screeners’ to let us through the check points. We’re told to go home. If you hear there’s a poor turnout, it’s simply not true. #patriot #trump2020

I guess I am talking about the million ticket requests vs how many showed up. That’s what was being griped about. Those fake ticket requests had little bearing on empty seats. Those empty seats came from a variety of reasons, some of which you mentioned in your post.
They WILL blast them with Trump e-mail.
Good question .

“It’s disturbing that Trump’s campaign got caught off guard by the Tik You thing.”
Simple solution...
Don’t put a limit on the tickets being given out with the understanding that the arena will continue to accept attendees until full.
The publicity of the rally got 88 million to listen/watch on other media. Thanks TikvTok.
Fake ticket requests had a HUGE bearing on turnout.
If you hear 3 days in that 800,000 tickets were requested you’re going to figure you’ll never get in and you won’t try.
Growing about those numbers was a mistake.
