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.

He’s spent his entire life not doing much - nearly 50 years of it in Washington, DC.
Fake news.
Hmmm - the same NYT where the socialists revolted and kicked out the editor for showing objectivity.
Ahhh. In door plumbing is nice. I agree it was better on TV.
The Times did not even throw up its usual pay wall for this particular lie — they wanted it out so badly.
It is hard to count the people at the Biden rally. This is because they held it in many blue cities, over several days and they were running around throwing bricks.
Real headline is virus scare is over. Everyone back in the pool, the waters fine,
Trump had more viewers in one night than the number of newspapers the NYT has sold in the last ten years.
You've reminded me of a govt health dept. radio PSA that airs at odd hours in which:
A mother lies to her daughter to get her to traipse up and down stairs, twice, to get the fat slob of a kid some exercise. (she's looking for a blouse, mother knows where it is, but deceives her, and takes credit for her creative genius.)
Moral of their story is deceit is useful.
How apropos
from Breitbart comments:

Someone who was there posted the below
“The event center was nearly full. There were around two thousand ticket holders at one gate that couldn’t get in because there weren’t enough screeners. TV stations covered the protesters outside and didn’t show the thousands of ticket holders that couldn’t get in. Disgusting!”
gigi
I heard and saw that.
They showed all these people and reporting they could not get in and doors had been closed!

read a comment from someone who went along (can’t relocate it) who said doors were shut at 6pm (officially I’ve seen they were to close at 6.30pm) and they and others couldn’t get in. there were also a number of tweets about “protesters” blocking entrances where the screeners were, which prevented people getting in.
the way the numbers were the focus before Trump even appeared at the rally - and the way the FakeNewsMSM almost seem to have had their stories framed beforehand - makes me wonder who organised the so-called TikTok scam.
whoever it was, it’s people who don’t believe in free speech.
meanwhile, Biden can mumble a few sentences and FakeNewsMSM reports it as if he makes sense, and they will continue to state he’s way ahead in the polls, while ignoring he ain’t doing any rallies.
ironic they chose a communist website, which is accused of racism against black Americans (we already know China is racist against Africans in China, not to mention their attitude to Uighurs, Tibetans, etc.
19 Jun: NBC San Diego: Juneteenth Protest Hits Social Media Platform ‘TikTok’ Amid Censoring Claims
Black creators accuse TikTok of suppressing their content and messages of racial injustice
By Steven Luke
Social media giant TikTok has exploded in popularity with an estimated 800 million active users worldwide but an increasing number of black creators are coming forward saying TikTok is suppressing their content.
“Tik Tok is manipulating the accounts of minorities and silencing our accounts through censorship,” said Anthony Merriweather who uses the application frequently.
After tracking his analytics closely for the past several months and seeing the complaints from other black users, Merriweather believes TikTok is manipulating his posts to keep them from being shared and gaining traction.
“Numbers don’t lie, but they can be manipulated and that’s what’s happening,” said Merriweather. “You already have systemic oppression, you already have physical oppression, we don’t need creative oppression, you need a creative outlet.”
TikTok, a Chinese-owned platform, has faced similar accusations in the past after several news agencies obtained documents instructing staff to censor users deemed ugly, poor, or disabled...
But, last month many users raised concerns after they noticed videos tagged #GeorgeFloyd or #BlackLivesMatter were hard to find. TikTok later apologized calling it a technical glitch and a display issue only.
“It’s not a coincidence, it’s not an algorithm, it’s an intentional decision that was implemented to censor,” said Merriweather...

You are likely correct. The huge numbers of requests should have prompted Trump’s campaign to become suspicious. Instead they touted the numbers and built an overflow stage that went unused. Fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Hopefully they’ve learned from this and will be better prepared for the next dirty trick attack.
TikTok Teens and K-Pop Stans Say They Sunk Trump Rally
They first steal the tickets and then they claim the seats were empty. In the same newspaper.
Won’t work because the turds that would do the mass buying are funded by evil leftist scum like Soros.
I was a little surprised they didn’t expect this as well. When I heard them announcing that 200,000, then 800,000, then over a million tickets requested, first thing I thought was that they had been flooded with phony requests. I also think by announcing this number of tickets, they may have caused some people (not wanting to compete with such vast numbers for space) just decided to stay home and watch on tv instead.
They need to keep the numbers to themselves in future. I also think that people lining up since Monday would discourage some to stay home as well.
This Brad Parscale needs to wake up; I thought it was odd all week he was touting the million signups, which just seemed excessive as there are only four million people in the State of Oklahoma - the dirty trick here was the TikTok thing encouraged by the leftists and put into effect by their Hitler Youth. At least it occurred early in the campaign - what happens in June can be rectified this summer. But they need to realize we have massive foreign interference in our election - either from the socialist Brits who marketed the damn Steele dossier through useful idiots like John McCain or from the Chinese, who I am convinced concocted the Wuhan virus in a lab and who own this damned TikTok thing.
Two of my adult Trump supporting kids were home this weekend. The four of us watched on RSBN. We also sent them a donation
Wait till Antifa and BLM are blocking voting booths in November.
Maggie Hagerman strikes again.
Gloating Karen.
From here to November this is going to be a series of kicks to the groin because there is no way Biden can win in a fair fight. If anyone on Trump’s campaign does not realize this they need to find another occupation NOW.
Other factors were the media whipping up fears of the virus and fears of encountering mob violence. Trump needs to ramp-up the ANTIFA perp walks and declare the pandemic over. That includes permanently muzzling Tony Fauci.
