TULSA, OKLAHOMA – President Donald Trump had a bad day in Tulsa, Oklahoma Saturday when his big rally fell well short of expectations.
The Trump campaign was set to kick into high gear with a huge rally scheduled for Saturday in Tulsa, Oklahoma, his first in months. With poll numbers sagging and Joe Biden well ahead by all accounts, this was to begin Trump’s ascension to re-election. Brad Parscale, manager of the Trump campaign, had magnificently claimed a million tickets or so had been reserved online for the rally. He and his MAGA minions prepared for tens-of-thousands of delirious Trump sycophants to appear at the event; scores of people camped out for days outside the arena in frothing anticipation of their Master to appear and whip them into a 1930’s Central Europe style frenzy.
As the day drew on Saturday, Parscale proclaimed via social media, “The outdoor stage for @realDonaldTrump’s Rally in Tulsa being built. This will be the 1st time that POTUS speaks to BOTH crowds in person – inside & outside. If you come to the rally and don’t get into the BOK Center before it’s full, you can still see the President in person!”
Then, the event happened – and the tens-of-thousands of MAGA maniacs didn’t appear. In fact, the turnout was so weak, the campaign tore down the outdoor stage early as only a few dozen people were out there to listen; Trump skipped out on that address entirely. Indoors, Tulsa’s BOK Center holds 19,000 – but only 6,200 or so went inside.
The New York Times reported that Trump was furious as he was about to take the stage when he looked out upon the arena to see swaths of empty blue seats gleaming in the bright blue lights. He took the stage anyway to address an arena 1/3 full. He drank a glass of water to prove he could actually do it after he was mocked earlier for seemingly struggling to do so. He offered a long explanation for how he may hav stumbled down a walkway. He called COVID-19 “kung flu”. He brazenly said he ordered officials to slow down testing of citizens for COVID-19 – even as the nation mourns 119,000 dead and counting. He ended sentences with “it’s true and you know it.”
After the event, it has been reported that teenage TikTok users and K-pop fans claimed to have registered potentially hundreds of thousands of tickets for President Trump’s campaign rally as a prank to ruin the event. Trump adversary and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was gleeful in tweeting, “Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID.”
However, Parscale was having none of Cortez’s celebration.
“Radical protestors, fueled by a week of apocalyptic media coverage, interfered with @realDonaldTrump supporters at the rally,” Parscale explained. “They even blocked access to the metal detectors, preventing people from entering. Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don’t know what they’re talking about or how our rallies work,” Parscale lamented.
MAGA 2020! the polls show it, we have it!
Every young man—regardless of color—needs a blunt father force in his life. But when 70 percent of the young men in your community have that father exchanged for government dependency you end up emasculating true manhood from generations of young men.
The media and the never-Trump detractors attempt to label him a bully. But he’s merely just rigidly focused on his priorities and his job.
Is that why he has spent 281 days on the golf course in the past 3 years. At his own golf courses, too.
the most talented class of candidates put forward by the GOP in the modern era..
The media and the never-Trump detractors attempt to label him a bully. But he’s merely just rigidly focused on his priorities and his job.
Governors run things. Senators merely vote. Governors set budgets. Senators pontificate to the media. Governors enforce laws. Senators whine their way through committee hearings. Governors are bottom-line decision-makers, unless they are Democrats, then they hide when needed. So are CEOs. And once Trump was in he made even the governors in the race appear to be less than in charge. And they may have been the most talented class of candidates put forward by the GOP in the modern era.
Donald J. Trump will win re-election—in part—by capturing between 20 to 30 percent of the black male vote. It will happen, and I will have told you so. It boils down to two significant ones: the way the American left treats black men and the way Donald Trump treats everyone. America is weary of the “boy” presidents.
As bogus as the charge of “white supremacist” is when it comes to Trump, it is even more bogus for the vast majority of his white supporters. Many of them would have voted for Ben Carson in a heartbeat had the elections been between Dr. Carson and Hillary Clinton. White supremacists would not do this. (Of course, white Trump supporters would have voted for Hispanic candidates like Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio had they run against Hillary.)
The charges of “white supremacy” have no substance at all. A white supremacist is “a person who believes that the white race is inherently superior to other races and that white people should have control over people of other races.”) White supremacists do not go out of their way to meet regularly with black leaders for input and wisdom. White supremacists do not pass major criminal justice bills that largely affect non-whites. Call this ugly accusation for what it is: slanderous, libelous, and dangerous. Shame on those who use such ugly words as a political and ideological tool.
A vote for the radical democrats is a vote for a weaker America and a stronger China.
You have to be absolutely ignorant of history to vote for today’s democrat party.
Marxist Communist todays democrat.
Orange man good
Down with Trump AND the GOP.
Love this. Great job NIT
HA HAHA HA HAHA HA HA !
Trump didn’t have a bad day he had a horrible day! Report it right! Why you always on Trump’s side!? I’m sick of media pandering to their hero Trump.
Picture reminds me of a confederate soldier that just lost the battle of Gettysburg.
Or somebody that found mouse turds in his Rice Crispies.
Ocasio is do dam smug she should be impeached
Oh now smugness is a reason for impeachment? Ha ha ha.
Don’t give the Dens any more goofy ideas
Meanwhile, sleepy Joe is sitting in his basement. He is a very poor candidate, worse than Hillary was. Remember, the polls showed her with a huge lead too. Trump supporters don’t do polls, they just show up and vote.
Anyone that votes for Trump is a total fool!!
I AM A FOOL! TRUMP PENCE 2020!
You are not a fool! YOU ARE A RACIST IDIOT like your daddy orange man!
I’m racist? Because I want “our” country to be prosperous? I’m racist? Because I believe in freedom? I’m racist? Because I love America? I’m racist? Because I believe in “WE THE PEOPLE”?
trump voters are low self esteem people. they are insecure and hateful. they pass judgement on everyone but themselves. rotten to the core from my experience. will soon be relics.
Have you been talking to Hillary again? Yes, I am a deplorable and proud of it!
Wow, sounds like Nancy and company
The media is having a field day talking about the smaller than normal crowd that showed up for President Trump’s rally in Tulsa this weekend. It was over 6,000 people. I think that’s a pretty good crowd considering we’re in a pandemic and many people are still isolating and staying home. Another way to look at it is that this is 6,000 more than former Vice President Biden had—because he didn’t have any.
LOL,
Ya but Trump said a million people would show up
Hahahahah
Watched on tv
If AOC was right and tik tok teens did buy up rally tickets to effect the outcome of the attendance of the Tulsa rally, then she just single handedly proved why mail in voting is a rigged and horrific idea.
Exactly.
AOC considers a dishonest stunt to be a victory. She is unfit to serve America.
You are such a fool, even Trumps campaign chair said their events are first come first serve & the “Tickets” are just an estimate of who responded to the RSVP. The first 19,000 who showed up in line could have gotten in.
Bottom line nobody showed.
Better to watch at home. No mask needed
and you can turn it off
7.8 million didn’t
Its like looking at a bloody car accident, something nobody wants to see but you don’t look away.
I don’t know what kpop is. My wife and her sister all googled it, seems its an Asian dance party for kids. They fooled our President, used tricks to cheat him out of a great event. Wherever his next address will be, we are all driving there to support Our President. God be with you, Don.
Charlie you and your family sound like the dumbest rubes in town. Have a blast driving to Texas or the reddest corner of hell to support this imbecile. Please wear a mask so you don’t die like a roach.
Have fun in Joe’s basement donkey girl
Them Koreans are living right next to China. Prolly the Chines that payed the kids to do this. Just like the virus they want to overthrow the USA
GOD wants nothing to do with Trump.
Oh yeah? Does the Easter Bunny weigh in too?
It was his idea.
Exactly what the QAnon, 4chan, Proud Boys, etc. did when they rioted in Minneapolis and other cities, pretending to be Black Lives Matters protestors. They just did it better.
LOL great headline!
I have my moments. Just deliver magic content as always. 100% factual yet outrageously entertaining. Seems some Trump supporters are angry and said they’re leaving NIT forever over it. I guess forever is later this afternoon, we know they can’t really quit NIT since it’s so addictive, like sugar to a chubby kid. Stay tuned for more…
In advance of the Saturday event, Trump supporters had been lining up for days to secure their seats in an arena that holds just under 20,000, and the Trump campaign touted Monday receiving over 1 million ticket requests. Nevertheless, there were a number of empty seats on the upper levels inside. On Sunday the media outlets pointed out that there were empty seats inside the venue and would have been “complaining that there are too many” people inside if the venue was fully occupied. “They showed these days in advance that they were going to be complaining about the amount of people who were there regardless, so there’s that dynamic,”. “Everybody who was there was excited to be there,”. “There were people who were camped out for days waiting for the opportunity to get into the venue.”
Just admidt it was a total fail. Always blameing someone else.
“Radical protesters, fueled by a week of apocalyptic media coverage, interfered with @realDonaldTrump supporters at the rally.”
I thought the media is always fake news in the Trump World, though? Why would Trump followers start believing the media during the Tulsa event run-up when it has been portrayed and trumpeted ( no pun intended ) as completely fake and traitorous for years?
Good point. Of course news is only fake if it is detrimental to Trump.
Fake news evidently is the moniker Trump supporters place on anyone or anything that even remotely criticizes or questions the President. More and more, if you’re not 100% on board with DJT, you are a fake newser; he is above reproach to his blind followers.
His followers are becoming more & more like Jim Jones followers & look what happen to then when they kept drinking the Kool Aid
Turned into democrats…brain dead
Trying to drum up business by being demeaning to over your half your clientele, Matt? What a flake. Classless
There were a lot of the Black Lives Matter protesters and their activities to prevent individuals from being able to get into the venue and again, you had people camping out there since Wednesday, so there were a few dynamics that were at play.”
Maybe if Trump supporters weren’t such snowflakes the could have acted like their balls had dropped and got inside.
Donny’s got the nuclear codes and calls Putin for advice but has the judgement to hire people he ends up firing and lambasting for incompetence. Then he gets played by half of the teenagers in the USA. Yep, I feel safe in America alright.
bahahaha, camped outside. how dumb cab youget? noone wanted in! bahahaha haha magats are the dumbest, the shiniest dumbies ever
#BLUEWAVE2020
Shut yer piehole before you get impeached
He should have photo shopped this like his inauguration.
Having to sign a waiver did not help.
As usual more N.I.T. misrepresentations. It has been proven that this never happened. You just can’t trust the media. People were kept out by protesters, not a bunch of teenagers.
I really don’t think 12,000 + were kept out by protesters. If they really wanted in they could do it . Or better yet they could have congregated outside where they had a large area designated for them . Maybe the real reason is that there aren’t any less Trump supporters , but more people had the common sense to stay home because of the virus.
Proven by who? When? Where? Provide documentation, please. Trump saying it didn’t happen does not constitute proof, especially given his track record of almost constant lies.
Misrepresentation? Are you drunk at 7 in the morning again? Too much kool aid for you. His website also violated COPPA laws. Wonder what his excuse will be for that.
Yeah, dire news is out there. This next stimulus they have to get right. Then everybody’s on their own. Key word: COMMUNITY SPREAD.
this is just the beginning or should I say the END
It was toppled by the Millennials. Using their smartphone to deceive. No big surprise here. As for toxic the bars in Iowa are community spreading like no other. Given the current reports indicating sharp spikes where poor choices were made based on what. Greed. And still other reports indicating it’s prone to target the blood group A. About half the Scandinavian population is A group. It seems that, as other have done, under reported testing. No fault to anyone here. Just that the coronie is spreading. Taking it’s time. Brasil…Millions RIP.
False report! Read the news and get it right.
several new cases in river city in the last 2 weeks
Bars and restaurants in the heavily-Republican Okoboji region were packed last weekend, and there was a huge spike in cases almost immediately afterward. It’s now one of the worst hotspots in the country, and the amusement park and most of the bars are closing back down.
