'Old man can't even fill a high school gym anymore. Sad.' Trump mocked for 'half empty' swing state speech

[Tom of Temecula]

Donald Trump on Saturday held a speech in Pennsylvania, but some liberals and conservatives alike are suggesting the crowd could have been larger. Trump, who during his speech in Philadelphia had several verbal "misfires" that caused social media users to question the former president's mental acuity, has in the past heavily emphasized the numbers at his politically charged rallies as an indication of popularity. Trump has also been accused of inflating his numbers when it comes to his controversial speeches.

Tennessee Democratic election commissioner Chris D. Jackson, who previously floated evidence that Trump rally attendees were being paid for attendance in Nevada, posted a video making the allegation that the event had empty seats. "Look at all those empty seats in Philadelphia," Jackson said.

"Old man can't even fill a high school gym fill anymore. Sad." @sandibachom replied, "He hasn’t done hardly any indoor venues because he still owes $500,000 each the venues he didn’t pay as far back as 2019 so he’s been doing them in fields next to firehouses and beaches that are free. It’s a lot easier to hide small crowd in those venues but this you can see it’s brutal." Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein also chimed in: "Here is a video of Trump at his rally tonight in swing state PA at Temple University’s Liacouras Center, capacity 10,200. It’s half empty."

He continued, "Zero attendees in the upper bowl. Odd for a guy that brags about pulling 100k ppl in NJ and 30k in the Bronx." In a follow-up post on social media on Saturday, Henlein asked Trump advisor Jason Miller, "Why was the small arena only half full?"

4. Loser

I guess Americans just aren't that into rapist-fraudster-liar-felon-traitor republicons.

Who knew?

5. Same old same old

Rallies are getting smaller, people leave early and it's always the same people. If I could get a dime for all the times I hear that, I would be rich 🤑

6. Do you think his rallies are getting larger?

[Tickle]

7. I never paid much attention

in the past but I have started watching his rallies. They look crowded, I don't see signs of dementia with tRump but then again I'm not sure of the early signs of dementia.
I do see a lot of scary hyped up people and that concerns me 😧

9. I'd have to agree; Trump sounds as nuts as he ALWAYS has. This is hardly new

We used to point out the rambling, bumbling rants he would go on 8 yrs ago. How many "electric boat/shark" speeches have we seen? TONS. His base wont care if he starts drooling. But they also dont win elections.

Wake me when he is OBVIOUSLY "out of it" where everyone can see & the "average" republican actually starts openly talking about his condition.

13. I heard a that Trump is manifesting symptoms of mental sun-downing

a circumstance where the dementia patient tires late in the day and their dementia symptoms increase.

Maybe it was during a conversation on washington week in review.

The suggestion that came with that was his handlers don't want to let him do "major" rallies in the evening that attract television coverage.

8. The convicted felon will rehire Sean Spicer to estimate his crowds for him.

That will boost attendance by at lease 20 folds.
