The truth hurts: President Trump doesn't sell out an arena after all

"You can't handle the truth!"---Jack Nicholson to Tom Cruise, "A Few Good Men".

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So.....

President Donald Trump's first campaign rally in 3 1/2 months didn't draw the record crowd Trump himself had claimed. Not even close. As seen above, some wore masks, some didn't, but they didn't fill every seat in the 19,000 seat arena Trump and his sycophants had rented for the occasion, such that an outdoor speech for the anticipated overflow crowd was cancelled because there wasn't as much of an overflow as Trump had hoped.

His campaign shills tried to claim the event was sabotaged by protesters, but a Yahoo! commentator debunked that by having attended the event and stating that the shills doctored some footage (again) to try to spin an excuse for the failure to fill the house.

Correspondent Silverstar said he'd heard rumors that a group of people came together online to buy up a block of tickets with zero intention of attending, just to stick it to America's Oldest Baby. As reported last time, six of Trump's staff members had tested positive for coronavirus earlier in the day, and were not at the rally, forced to quarantine. You would think the real life Annoying Orange would take the hint and cancel, but noooooooo! We'll soon see if there's more new cases of COVID-19 coming out of this debacle.

Apparently, all that orange spray tan has made Trump delusional for good.....

I've been wondering what would happen if Pres. Archie Bunker held one of his hate rallies and no one came. A completely empty arena would have been better, but this is good enough. Looks like the empire is beginning to crumble, and I don't see things getting much better for Trump in the next five months.

A friend told me he'd heard that Trump held his cup of water at West Point because after saluting all 1200 graduates, his arm got tired. No one else has mentioned it that I know of other than conservative/Christian channels that have bought into President Pampers' false promises.

I'm just back from watching the HBO documentary/biography of Roy Cohn, America's Worst Lawyer.

I was aware of Mr. Cohn's influence on That Man In The White House, but I didn't know what a prominent part he'd played in the whole Trump Family's lives and careers.

You ought to check it out, first chance you get.
(And so should everyone else who reads this.)
(Whether you like Mr. Trump or not.)

I'm sure there's a Wikipedia page on Cohn. Since I don't have HBO, I'll go there.
