What do we glean from Donald John Trump’s return to the campaign rally podium?
He stood in an arena in Tulsa, Okla., that he said he would pack with 19,000 screaming Trumpkins. All those empty seats were meant, I suppose, to disguise the fanatics.
The Trump re-election team had to cancel some outdoor events. Why? Low turnout.
Trump blathers on in his rally. He rambles incoherently. He spent about 20 to 30 minutes showing how he could lift a glass of water with a single hand.
Oh, and then we have the lack of social distancing among those who were in the arena, the lack of face masks, the lack of care being taken to avoid coming down with COVID-19. Sigh.
Donald Trump’s return to the 2020 presidential campaign trail, to my eyes, has encountered some serious trouble as the Carnival Barker in Chief seeks to win re-election to a second term.
I won’t lose a bit of sleep over any of this.
I would wager it’s ten-fold anything Biden can do. According to AOC, teenagers got online and got the tickets before adults. If so, I’ll give them credit, well played. Let’s see how the next one pans out for them.
There were still several thousand between inside and outside. I don’t think one building was burned or looted.
