Trump Tantrums After Obama Draws Crowd Four Times Bigger Than His
Trump fumed at a rally after thousands of people waited in line and showed up to see former President Obama in Florida.
Trump said in West Virginia, He had a very small crowd, I have to be honest I had to listen, I was in the plane, I had nothing else to do. And I heard him talk about telling the truth and yet, 28 times he said you can keep your doctor, if you like your doctor, you can keep your plan, if you like your plan. They were all lies
Trump went on to rant about the size of his crowd in Texas when he campaigned for Ted Cruz, which he also exaggerated and lied about.
The president was tantruming because the White House Pool Report estimated the crowd size at Trumps West Virginia rally to be maybe 1,000 people, while 4,000 people waited in line for hours to see President Obama in Miami.

Trump cant handle the truth that he will always be in Obamas shadow, and he will never measure up to the man who came before regarding crowd size, presidential behavior, or as a human being.

(19,186 posts)Assface. Learn what the government actually does, learn what your responsibilities are as "president", learn what you can and can't do as "president" of the United States. Hell, read the Constitution for the first time in your life, and have someone explain it to you. "Nothing else to do". What a fucking loser.

SergeStorms
(19,186 posts)Like "freedom of the press" could be a newspaper with sticks of dynamite beneath it, within a red circle, with a red slash through it. "Don't blow up the press". He might get the idea, but I doubt it. Like you said, having a porn actress recite them to him with graphic illustrations might be effective.

(14,164 posts)Fill the stadium, for the first time, for a Trump event, because half would be Democratic supporters. He'd be gushing with hubris about the crowd size.
And with Fox News covering it. And then at a signal or time, maybe as soon as he starts hinting at violence towards the press, half the crowd gets up and walks out. An act like that would stretch out as that many people made their ways up in lines to get out. I'd love to see Trumps face as this happened. Because he'd actually have believed they were all there, OBVIOUSLY, for him. It would be a yuuuuuuuuge kick in the nuts.

But videos taken inside a venue show them over half empty and many walking away while he is,uh,speaking, blathering, lying?

(17,981 posts)Are there ads there? I just hear the stories and that Trump had to pay people to wtch him walk down the stairs at Trump Tower. I have seen enough of his rallies to know many are half emptypeople bunched together like a Jimmy Swaggert meeting after his Metarie escapade.
Am now reading Woodwards book. Even Bannon was shocked at how little Trump knew.
John Fae has a book out,too. About Evangelicals. A friend sai it is really good. I ordered it from the Library today. Trying to understand their way of thinking.

Navy Blue Angels fly their homecoming show in town tomorrow afternoon. Maybe that will divert some of the trumpees and wear them out so they will be too pooped to go to a 6:30 p.m. rally.
