President Donald Trump gave a fear-filled and factually inaccurate campaign rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin on Thursday.

The rally, held in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured a large crowd closely packed together.

Here’s some of what people were saying about Trump’s speech, which lasted approximately 95 minutes:

Wisconsin's dumbest packed in close, unmasked, breathing all that freedom in real deep. So there may be fewer of them around November. Today is Minnesota. Ohio on Monday. Pence is in Arizona today.

1. Thinning his herd. I love it.

Another super-spreader event.

[CaptYossarian]

2. Not only was he slurring and sounding tired, during his

failed town hall, he was snorting and wheezing again.

Whatever he puts up his nose doesn't want to stay there. I'd imagine the more tired he gets, the larger the dose of nose candy.

3. Wisconsin's dumbest packed in close, unmasked, breathing all that freedom in real deep

The truth

[SilasSouleII]

9. Sad thing is...

They will spread it all around Wisconsin and take out some proud Democrats in the process.

[Illumination]

11. And what about the health care workers? Imagine how they feel when they see photos like

this & have to deal with this ignorance, etc.? Wonder how many times they've heard: "I thought it was a hoax"...

[Heartstrings]

17. Yes, they will.....

10. In Wisconsin right now, we're smack in the middle of a huge spike of Covid-19.

We’re one of the worst States in the country right now, thanks to the “I’ll do whatever the fuck I want to” crowd exercising their “free dumb” over Labor Day weekend.

Where I live, our bars and restaurants are packed with people not wearing masks! Not the young people either. It’s people aged about 40-70 that are the worst!! ( We go and do surveillance).

Funny Story: We found a really good Asian restaurant where you order and pay online and pick-up there. Our daughter said they won’t let you in any further than the vestibule of the restaurant, and someone comes to the inner door, garbed in PPE, and practically lobs your food into the vestibule and slams the door.

That’s the place we trust!

[Illumination]

14. Sorry to hear that. There absolutely needs to be mandatory mask wearing! Otherwise, the

numbers are going to continue climbing through the roof! Here in Boulder CO we have a problem with the college students mainly. There's been lots of partying going on off campus on "The Hill". It's gotten so bad I walk everywhere & very rarely take the bus anywhere. When I'm out walking, pretty much everyone is maskless. You would think just the fires & the damage to our lungs alone would have them faithfully wearing masks. But NO! What's disturbing also is that these are intelligent college students. Unless of course they cheated like Trump...

[Greybnk48]

18. Sorry for you too. We do have a mask order here, but

No fines or teeth in it. Our Governor, Tony Evers ( a democrat, thank goodness) had to fight the Republicans in our State Legislature in Court to keep the mask rule as it is. We have a bunch of tea baggers hanging over from the Scott Walker/Koch bros takeover in 2010. We have severe gerrymandering, so we can’t even vote them out, YET.

As you and I know, this mask situation means not only more sick people and unnecessary deaths, but this behavior prolongs all of our misery for weeks if not months. I get so angry.

Stay safe!

15. Masks, social distancing, and avoiding COVIDiots is the best you can do

Thankfully here in DC people are good about masks and there are strict policies for bars and restaurants, most use outdoor seating or space out the tables.

26. My great-nephew is a sophomore at Marquette.

His dorm is currently on lockdown. He was tested on Wednesday, still waiting for results. Though we're from Illinois, he registered to vote up there to add another sane vote come November.

4. "How many speeches do I have to give in front of these 'disgusting people'?"

[PatSeg]

5. "At least I don't have to shake their hands anymore."

6. I take great pleasure in the fact that he hates his supporters.

And he has to appear before them and grovel for their votes.

All his life he wanted to be accepted by the upper crust of New York and they snubbed him. I'm convinced that part of his decision to run for office was to get back at the NY elite who despised him and never accepted him. That and to one-up President Obama.

[SergeStorms]

20. He could never understand...

why New Yorkers - of any socioeconomic status - would not accept a loud-mouthed, narcissistic, criminal conman as someone they admired and adored. What the hell is wrong with us?

Of course when he looks in a mirror he sees the most suave, handsome, intelligent, real estate magnate that is universally adored everywhere else. It's tough when reality butts heads with an image of yourself that's completely fanciful and imaginary.

New Yorkers have a way of cutting through bullshit like a laser, and Rump is nothing but a steaming pile of bullshit, from the lifts in his $2000 shoes, to that ridiculous coil of synthetic hair-substitute atop his head. We've had him sussed out since the day he was hatched.

[fleur-de-lisa]

21. If only the rest of America would see through the con . . .

[lostnfound]

27. And yet, it took him being president before NY prosecuted him seriously

No offense against New York. It is awesome.

But every New Yorker needs to demand an investigation into exactly WHY such a corrupt rich guy was allowed to skirt the law for thirty years, and WHO was responsible.

Allowing that rot to fester has been devestating. We all deserve better from our government.

7. trump supporters must be the stupidest people anywhere - he hates them

he's doing everything he can to kill them

while he watches safely from a distance

8. R.I.P. Trump & Trump supporters.....................................................................

It HASN'T been nice knowing you idiots...

[Texin]

12. He sounded drunk in that clip.

Noel Casler, one of The Apprentice producers, said he suspects tRump is being sedated - for what I couldn't imagine. This is in addition to his other known drug habits (i.e., Adderal and previously cocaine). I do know personally (from my mother's medical treatment several years ago), she was taking a prescription used to treat psychoses. (She wasn't a psychotic, but this drug is used to mitigate some of the issues involved in dementia). One of the effects of this drug is similar to a person having several alcoholic beverages, most obvious in this case is slurred speech and lethargy.

13. Hopefully fewer of them will vote

It's still 7 weeks out, after all.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

16. Just look at all those people willing to die just to be in the same space as their idol.

I bet it makes him feel all powerful.

[xxqqqzme]

19. The wife doesn't travel?

no campaigning for her? Must have been included in her revised pre-nup. All that free time to assemble one last nightmare of Christmas at the White House

[UTUSN]

22. K&R

[BSdetect]

23. I'd love to tell them he wears an invisible mask.

[IronLionZion]

25. COVID Donny must be spreading it around like Typhoid Mary

since most of his staffers keep getting infected
