Trump’s Tulsa Rally Fizzles as Seats Go Empty

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.

And the DemonRats say that voting by mail is not full of fraudulent activity. Right.

Tik Tok is a Chinese owned platform that openly allows the most sadistic and horrifying videos of animal cruelty you can imagine.
There’s no point in reporting that evil because they see nothing wrong with it.
Anyone who subscribes to Tik Tok is a accessory to unspeakable cruelty.

“I wonder how many watched it online.”

That is a good question considering Trump has a lot of high risk fans.

True. But this is war. We need to think in all paradigms. Particularly the enemy’s.

It has been reported that 500,000 computers were streaming the rally on Youtube. Since Google owns Youtube this will likely be the last time a Trump rally will be offered on Youtube.

Trump should go right back to Tulsa and say it’s for supporters who were cheated out of their chance to attend by a Chinese app.

No, it is true. We got outmanuvered by a bunch of kids. Someone should have foresaw that with tickets free for the taking on the internet, that kids with nothing to do might reserve them so someone else could not.

HOWEVER, the rally itself was a roaring success. 500,000 watched on youtube alone, and there were other ways to watch it.

dim-0s may have kept actual attendance down, and the kong flu may have stopped some people going, but they cannot stop the spirit of it.

I saw the whole speech on Fox Nudes.It was tremendous. And hilarious. The president revealed with great humor the false propaganda being broadcast by the MSM. It endeared him to millions of new voters .

Speaking plainly, with not an iota of snobbery so much required by non populist politicians, our President touched on all of the issues facing our nation. And who would select Biden as our leader in these times? The answer: no one who can read.

All the left has now is the MSM, propping up a geriatric candidate controlled by the radical left wing of a morally bankrupt party that has nothing good about it at all for America.

And now our President , on behalf of America , is gleefully destroying the only remaining leg the Dems have to prop them up, a lying, fraudulent jingoistic media .

We had a very good time watching from home.

We did up a Super Bowl-type party food spread, noshed and cheered for two hours.

Almost as much fun as being there, but with way better bathroom access!

There was an online count in yesterday’s rally thread that was 431k at one point. Also, not reported is that BLM deviants were blocking the entrance to the arena

I did. But then Tulsa is a long drive for me. I live in Pennsylvania.
