Everyone should remember that one of the biggest attractions of tfg rallies were that they were free. Other circuses cost money.

Bill O’Reilly called it “bullsh*t” that ticket sales for his arena show with former President Trump have been slow.

But a Ticketmaster map of the venue shows otherwise (the unsold seats are in blue). https://mediaite.com/a/simgf

His rallies were free. Think that added to attendance?

You know, his whole thing with crowd size seems to have stemmed from Obama’s Denver speech at the DNC. That was a big deal.

Who, if they have single, sane, functioning brain cell, would attend one of these hateful lie-fests even if they were free?

Trump's cult club can't be throwing away $100 to listen to TFG and O'Lielly. That's a shitload of crystal meth and Pabst Blue Ribbon they wouldn't be able to throw down on a Saturday night. 😵

TFG seems to think his demented fan club has a lot of money. The well is about dry, idiot. How many times can you keep fleecing the same flock without letting them grow the fleece back?

Omigod they are delusional.

Nobody is going to PAY to see these guys. Half the crowd at the freak shows in the boonies are trinket vendors, and the stadiums aren’t having that.

Look at who has gotten arrested for Jan. 6. Thy traveled from all over the country. Maybe that was stimulus money or lack of normal expenses maybe it was on credit but they can afford it.

If not, they could draw some inspiration from some of the classics like Abbott and Costello, Burns and Allen, Sonny and Cher, Adolf and Heinrich...
