They’re showing us who they are
So now Don is furious at Brad and so are Jared and Princess, but Brad is furious at the news media and the news media are…reporting the news.
The Tulsa fire department said 6,200 people attended. The Trump campaign claimed 12,000. The arena holds 19,000.
Who ya gonna believe, the fire department or the Trump campaign? Hahaha just kidding.
Trump’s demeanour on returning to Washington was widely scrutinised. He was initially quiet on Twitter on Sunday but the president was reported to be “furious” at the “underwhelming” event, which followed a week of controversy about whether it should even be held. According to NBC, Trump was “particularly angry that before he even left DC, aides made public that six members of team in Tulsa tested positive for Covid-19”.
Right. Everything about Covid-19 should be kept completely secret, because it’s better for Trump that way. Stop testing, stop mentioning, stop reporting, stop saying “wear a mask.” Stop all of it. Pretend there is no Covid-19.
In a statement, Parscale blamed the low attendance on “a week’s worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of Covid and protesters”, which he said “coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally”.
Look at that. Just look at it. This filthy hack is shouting at the news media for reporting that a huge indoor rally would be unsafe during a lethal pandemic. This filthy hack wants them to have shut up about that so that more people would “bring their families and children to the rally” – and get infected.
As Covid-19 cases in Oklahoma rise, public health officials had warned against holding a large indoor gathering. The Trump campaign did not require attendees to wear masks. Some observers speculated fear of Covid-19 may have stopped some supporters from attending the rally.
Oddly enough, not everyone wants to risk death for the sake of watching Trump scream into a microphone.
So, all those tough guy Trump supporters, the ones who break skulls and pwn libs, the ones who publicly flaunt their second amendment rights, the ones who refuse to wear pussy-assed masks in public because FREEDOM, the ones who don’t listen to or read the lame-stream FAKE media…
…were scared off by media reports of protestors and possible viral infections?
And if you do die from it, please do so quietly, on your own time of course.
My father, a staunch Republican and Trump supporter, who has never had a bad thing to say about the orange one, was unhappy about the rally. He lives in Oklahoma City, and felt this was a very irresponsible act during a pandemic. Trump may end up not being as Teflon as he thinks.
And please go to another country first, so it affects their numbers and not ours.
Attendance might have been better if they’d announced in advance that Trump would actually DRINK A GLASS OF WATER WITH ONE HAND! But that would have been risky; better to show he’d actually got the glass to his mouth after the fact than have him spill or dribble under all the added pressure. Just as during the Space Race, the Russians would only announce their rocket launches after the fact, once they had safely reached orbit, rather than give notice of them beforehand. Then, if they blew up on the pad or crashed in Kamchatka, nobody outside the launch team and the Politburo would be any the wiser.
WaM, No.1. It would be nice to think that all those ‘Trump is infallible’ supporters are starting to see the light now they realise that the Orange Messiah not only doesn’t give a toss for their lives but has all-but publically admitted it. The question is, though, what is more important to them? I get the feeling that come November they will still lean towards sticking it to the libs rather than ousting the psychopath.
