We told y’all earlier that Trump’s Tulsa rally had all of the makings to be a disaster. With news of 6 campaign staffers testing positive for coronavirus just hours before the rally, coupled with the city’s new coronavirus spikes, we just knew it was going to be a mess, chile.

The Trump campaign boasted that over 1 million people had reserved tickets, but live footage from the rally painted a different picture.

Trump and Pence were scheduled to speak at the “Outdoor Experience”, the outdoor overflow crowd. After only dozens gathered outside of the area, Trump and Pence both scrapped their plans to speak. Shortly after, the campaign sent out a desperate text message to supporters: “'There's Still Space!”

There’s some reason to believe that there was a clever orchestration of folks who wanted to make sure Trump couldn’t pull big rally numbers might have purchased thousand tickets with the intent of not showing up. We posted some receipts that back this theory on Instagram.

The real reason social media is so hype about this is that #Donnie is a man whose ego feeds off of big crowds. For T***p, rallies present a special occasion where he can be surrounded by the few people who actually like him.

Today’s low turnout - at a rally that Trump hoped to use to convey that coronavirus is over (it’s not) and boast about the economy - is just not a good look. Better luck next time, Donnie.
