Worlds Saddest Trump Rally Draws Just 8 Supporters

It wasn’t exactly a YUGE turnout.

A rally in support of President Donald Trump and his immigration ban in Portland, Maine on Saturday is drawing attention on social media for all the wrong reasons: only a handful of people showed up, according to footage from local CBS station WGME.

“I’m just kind of letting you know there’s another side to the story,” Trump supporter Doug Prevost told the station. “Letting people know [Trump] has an awful lot of backers behind him.”

There appeared to be eight people at the rally.

were at work" excuse like they did to cover their embarrassment over the low turnout for the inauguration.
Face it, Donald, you lost the popular vote by millions, and now that you're squatting in the Oval Office, your support is circling the drain.

There's at least one woman (second from right), and I'm guessing one or two men are under the age of 50.

I guess their sheets/robes were at the cleaners...

Face facts* - the Republican family-values role model (Comrade Casino) is just not popular with honorable Americans.

He's a sad case.

A real loser.

* Real American true facts, not republican-brand BS "alternative facts"

If you add the phrase "in Portland, Maine on February 5th, 2017." The truth is where you find it!

Around 15 people showed up to Curt Schilling’s Trump rally on Saturday

Former Red Sox pitcher and current political neophyte Curt Schilling held a Trump “rally” outside Boston’s city on Saturday, but uh, it wasn’t much of a rally.

According to folks passing by, there were around 10 or 15 people in attendance to see the three-time World Series champ. He was pictured with a dejected gaze on his face.

they've been screwed with their pants on. Some of us tried to warn them Trump is nothing more than a con man who lies like a cheap rug.

Now, we'll see if they'll continue up denial, sulk or get angry.

Ask Sean Spicer and Kellyanne Conway. They'll confirm it.
