Being reported a few places, not sure of the veracity, but it's definitely more credible than anything that comes out of the White House. So take it with a grain of salt, but worth posting since anything Trump says you have to take with a quart of salt. Many people are saying this.

1. His "base" is mostly paid actors, hangers-on, and a few extremists.

Oh, and can't forget the Russian bots.

It's all a charade... always has been.

[Bengus81]

2. Good..pay em to show up at that Church in Phoenix tonight

See how many take the job in those close quarters.

[erronis]

23. They may as well stay at that church for their mass funerals.

[onetexan]

46. LOL sas but true

[Siwsan]

3. I wonder how many of those campaign 2020 and propaganda machine people are in Phoenix

I think we all know they are going to pull out ALL stops to make sure that arena is at super-spreader capacity.

4. Last week, someone posted a Craigslist ad for rally attendees.

When I looked at the crowd, I wondered how many were paid to be there.

I tell you what, you couldn't pay me to be there.

No telling if the breakdown of that Tweet is true. Seems to me, he could've pulled in more than 1578, especially considering how red the area is. He's going to have to face the fact that he's lost his "charm".

Yet, even if all the 6116 were true MAGAts, that is an embarrassing low turnout. Good thing they placed that ad. This puts a nice big smile on my face.

6. Being in a crowd

I will say that being in a crowd it's really easy to overestimate its size. Been at events where it was announced that several hundred thousand people were there and then it turns out it was only 40,000. When you're inside a sea of people it's human nature to over estimate how many people are there. I'd bet anything waiting outside to get in the people were thinking it was going to be packed, "just look at everyone out here." Then they got inside and it was sparse at best. 6200 people in a 19,000 seat stadium looks empty. The entire upper bowl was empty. There were big empty sections in the lower bowl. The floor was 3/4s empty (That might have been by design for security).

It's no wonder they were bored and yawning, after all the hype to get seated and then wait for the arena to fill only to never have it happen has to be deflating. Love it.

[dmr]

7. Deflating is right, especially if you stood outside for two days!

Two days waiting to get into a near empty arena! Ouch! That's gotta burn.

[Captain Zero]

9. And it rained while they were waiting

Several times. Waiting in the rain for a guy who's all wet.

12. :)

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. Anybody can post a Craig's List ad

Fake ads for actors For Hillary Rallies were posted in 2016.

I am sceptical of these exact numbers and breakdowns.

[groundloop]

32. Yep, I'm a bit skeptical also......

But do you think that's gonna' keep me from sending a link to my magat associates?

[dmr]

40. I agree, but he did have paid actors when

he rode down his escalator the day he announced his campaign in 2015. So you never know.

You have to take things as a grain of salt unless otherwise verified.

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. He also travels with the official "Trump All-Stars Dancing Troupe"

[llmart]

33. First time I've seen this and I'm laughing my ass off!

That is so pathetic. The blond, sweaty one just jumps up and down and calls it "dancing"?

[Midnight Writer]

38. That's the Karl Rove style.

[Nevilledog]

41. And he even took his shoes of first!

[Botany]

8. And several of those attending the rally were Trump-Heads who travel all over to attend his ...

... bund rallies. It is all kabuki.

[Ferrets are Cool]

10. Whether it is true or not, I endorse this message.

[duforsure]

11. trump's self destructing before our eyes , while his health is deteriorating faster now,

His being exposed more is weakening his ability to promote his propaganda , making more people run from this serial liar and corrupt criminal now. Every day he tweets or talks to the media he exposes himself more . He's dragging all the Republican's with him too.

[Lonestarblue]

19. I just read a comment from a doctor on a WaPo article about Trump's health.

The doctor described Trump’s mental and physical deterioration as the most likely result of a stroke (remember that sudden trip to Walter Reed?). Here are Dr. Eb’s words:

“Trump has had a left middle cerebral infarction, a stroke, causing right sided weakness. I noticed this several months ago when he was filmed walking by the White House holding onto his wife on his right side, with her arm and shoulder supporting his weight. Watching him walk down the ramp at West Point he showed more obvious right sided weakness with "circumduction" of his right leg, that is, stepping forward bearing weight on the left and pulling the right up to and around the left. I would speculate that his visit to Walter Reed was for an MRI/MRA to help assess the damage to his brain and the state of the circulation to his left cerebral hemisphere. Assuming that he is right handed, damage to his left cerebral hemisphere would also affect his speech and his thinking.”

[erronis]

27. "left middle cerebral infarction, a stroke" - that would explain his problem lifting the glass.

Hard to feel even the least bit sorry for that worthless mass.

[Johnny2X2X]

37. Watch him at his rally with the glass he drank from

First of all, it's a glass of cola, not water. Second of all, it's a very small glass. And 3rd, who hold a glass like that? His pinky was under the glass to keep it from slipping. Looks like he may have practiced the way to hold it. Most people don't need their pinky on the bottom of a glass to keep it from slipping out of their hand.

Look at his pinky finger underneath the glass starting at :20. That's not how anyone holds a small glass of water.

14. That's fake. It originally came from an account that makes up fake news like that.

I'm surprised Jon Cooper fell for it.

[zaj]

15. Digital literacy people!

Citations are easy on the web, if it doesn't have one, Google

[KS Toronado]

18. Common sense tells you something is wrong with the numbers

Almost half were paid gig workers? I'll take that with a qt of salt.

[Javaman]

16. the orange asshole just doesn't pay like he used to LOL nt

[ffr]

17. Bwah!

Loserville!

[jcgoldie]

20. Looks like they're gonna need to expand the workforce next time

Time to dip into those PPP bailout funds Trump!

[SpankMe]

21. I need to see a source for this, and the methodology.

These things shouldn't be posted without back-up. If they turn out to be wrong, or false news from our side, then we lose credibility.

[scarytomcat]

22. Is my math wrong does not add to the 6200?? people count

[Politicub]

24. I'm sure many of the attendees worked for the administration

They needed to show butts-in-seats, and having staff there was a way to fill-in empty seats.

The problem was, they could not conceive that there would be such an anemic number of real attendees.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

25. Proves that any one of 7.8 billion people on earth are capable of creating internet bullshit.

One of them certainly did here. One thing we do know for sure:

The entire fiasco at Tulsa was a tRump political stunt to distract America from the real issues of the day: a global pandemic, police abuse of power and BLM, climate change, poverty, his numerous crimes and thousands of evil actions by his administration.


KY.........

[benld74]

26. Craigslist is used to find / offer $$ to attend

This was done in Tulsa
AND every “rally” that been put together

Search Craigslist under rally location
Under gigs, etc to find them
They ARE there

[OneBro]

28. Kellyanne says alternative facts are just as good.

So run with it. Same game, same rules. This one is probably true-ish anyway.

[KPN]

34. +1.

[progressoid]

29. Oh c'mon. Paid actors? Do people really believe that?

That's the same bullshit the right says about every rally or demonstration we do as well. I'm still waiting for all my checks from George Soros and big pharma.

Jesus people. Anybody can post a fake Craigslist ad.

[KPN]

35. Oh darn, let us have some fun won't you?

[not_the_one]

30. I totally believe they hire actors, since his divine decension with the hooker, down the escalator.

But if these are actors, you'd think many would be out there admitting it, just for some face time on the internets.

Would they be required to sign NDAs? Hell, they would probably be on the internets admitting they had to sign NDAs...

[cayugafalls]

31. Where is a reliable source for this?

Just asking. Not that it wouldn't be a good thing, just would like some real proof, before using the citation.

[liberalla]

36. OMG. 532 propaganda machine employees and 986 trump campaign people???

Ridiculous!!

[Codeine]

39. You people are embarrassing sometimes.

Why on earth would you believe something so obviously false on its face?

[LastDemocratInSC]

42. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Are there links to credible sources?

[ProfessorGAC]

43. People Are Saying....

I don't care if this is true. Send it far & wide.
Let them taste the bitters. "People are saying one 25% of attendees weren't paid to be there."
Period.
They clearly think "people are saying" is legit. Sauce for the goose.

[Johnny2X2X]

44. Exactly

I'm done being handcuffed by sourcing, people are saying is good enough. And I effectively did that in my Op when I raised questions about the veracity of the report.

[ProfessorGAC]

45. I Wouldn't Question It

Who cares if it's accurate?
The other side uses opinions as facts. And, it works for them. So, MY OPINION is that people are saying 75% of the attendees were paid!
