"SNIP....

According to a report from Business Insider, when President Trump’s advisors looked out at the rows of empty seats before his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, this past weekend, they began “frantically texting friends and supporters who lived nearby in a late bid to fill the indoor arena’s 19,000 seats.”

According to one Trump staffer, they wished Air Force had turned around in mid-air in order to save Trump any embarrassment.

“Ultimately, Trump went through with his 2020 campaign’s big return rally in Oklahoma after months in a COVID-19 quarantine lockdown, empty seats and all,” Business Insider reports. “None of the eight Trump advisers interviewed by Insider had positive things to say about an event that has since sparked all manner of soul-searching and finger-pointing as the president’s campaign looks to find its footing against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden with a little more than four months to go until Election Day.”

According to the report, a “big shakeup” in the Trump campaign is likely due to the debacle.

1. They feared Trump cursing them out.

4. why can't

they call him out he's nothing but a bully. Afraid of him cursing ranting and raving doesn't he do this all the time?

[Solly Mack]

9. They're hoping for some big payday eventually?

Hoping to gain something if they can hang in long enough?

I wouldn't hire them as dog poop scoopers.

General ranting isn't as bad as direct ranting.

I really don't get why they're afraid of him.

[bdamomma]

10. If he shows himself

as being "unhinged" to them they must realize what a threat he is, he's been proving it right along. All paths lead to Russia. I wonder if he talks to Putin every day.

2. Well Let's Start Firing Everyone so They Can write their Tell-All Books

6. Surprised they didn't haul out a hoary old chestnut

"The Secret Service received credible intelligence that an attempt to assassinate the president would be made in Tulsa."

5. This is a pathetic last ditch effort by press whisper to save some staffer's own job

'Gee boss, we tried to help, really we did. See... all the papers are writing about it.'

[underpants]

8. Imagine him not actually going after the build up

Their still would have been images of the sparse crowd.

[Initech]

7. He is so insane.

[soothsayer]

11. It's a terrible feeling to throw an event that's not full

Especially for your boss.

Especially when your boss is a psycho.

[Hortensis]

12. Lol. Especially that last. nt

13. I am surprised that they (trump's advisors) couldn't come up w/ some excuse so rump would...
