TULSA, Okla. - President Donald Trump drew lower-than-expected turnout at his first rally in months on Saturday in Tulsa amid a tense political backdrop, nationwide anti-racism protests, and warnings from health officials about the coronavirus.
Trump began the rally, his first since early March, by thanking the crowd of supporters indoors for coming, despite efforts from "some very bad people outside," alluding to the campaign's unfounded claim that protesters were responsible for the many empty seats inside Tulsa's 19,000-seat Bank of Oklahoma Center by blocking rally-goers from entering.
"We begin! We begin! We begin our campaign," Trump said to applause. "I stand before you today to declare the Silent Majority is stronger than ever before!"
Trump peppered his speech with various criticisms of former Vice President Joe Biden, his presumed Democratic rival in the 2020 presidential election, including on race.
Virtually every policy that has hurt Black Americans for half a century, Joe Biden has supported or enacted, Trump said. I have done more for the Black community in four years than Joe Biden has done in 47 years."
The president also spent a great deal of time recounting the media and pundit reaction to his now-viral and noticeably cautious walk down a conventional-looking ramp after a speech at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point last week.
The president also went after NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a familiar target, for apologizing this month for opposing players kneeling to protest police brutality during the national anthem.
We will never kneel to our national anthem or our great American flag, Trump said.

OMG. This attempt at downplaying the event is comical in its obvious distortions. This is worthy of satire site. NBC is no longer reporting the news but it actually mocking its own transparently and absurdly biased propaganda.
This article is nothing more than criminal, leftist propaganda.
JoMa
I have no idea why AOC is claiming victory.
To claim some relevancy, and endear herself to Ole Joey.....
Even Faux, not pointing out the info in the JPEG posted in this thread, or the online/other than broadcast TV real attendance.
My wife and I among those millions. Go Donald...
Biden rally
Showing Joey as he really is an empty O ( zero)
Teresa’s moment of fame!

“millions of new voters .”
Trump preaches to the choir. I would love to see evidence however of Trump reaching and securing new voters. That’s what needs to happens.
Here's Potus in Tulsa
these pictures tell the real story
I loved it when Trump said that if our side starts getting violent the left will not be very happy.
Well, he did call it during the speech. BS reporting as expected. The lames are SO predictable. And, yeah, we did have some chuckles as well.
the clever c.j. chivers! one of the juveniles of the FakeNewsMSM.

Same choir Trump preached to in 2016?
If you think only Trump supporters watched Trump last night you have not been paying attention.

But the leftists are bragging all over that they reserved as many tickets as possible with no intention of showing up so it looked like there’s no support. Even a few politicians are praising that action. Get on the ball NBC.
The Ministry of Propaganda lies, it’s what they do....
Some say rambling. I was in the house and I say riffing. Trump is a great story teller and when he starts telling a story on himself, like what really happened at West Point, it is a treat to follow along. I have shoes with leather soles and I have stopped wearing them because of the fall risk. People can relate to Trump. Joe, not so much.
babbling-on........
That’s how he got elected the first time.
Evidence? Trump has his base and that’s what he’s got.
Like many forms of VD, you're persistent!
