Trump campaigns "Pittsburgh, not Paris" rally draws "dozens"

[Miles Archer]

In his White House speech on Thursday afternoon, Donald Trump delivered a soundbite that conservatives quickly embraced: “I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris.” The phrase, which drew quick applause from the president’s supporters, did not, however, make any sense: the international climate accord was agreed to in Paris, but it was intended to benefit everyone, not just Parisians.

So, how many people showed up?


BuzzFeed, which published some pictures from the rally, wrote that “dozens of Trump supporters” gathered for the event. The Washington Post similarly reported that “dozens” showed up to applaud the president’s decision to withdraw from the international agreement.

Hmm. The population of Washington, D.C, is nearly 700,000, but the greater D.C. area has over 6 million residents. Fairfax County, Va., near the nation’s capital, itself has over 1 million people. Trump World and its Republican allies managed to get “dozens” of people to express support for the president’s big decision?

1. Perhaps the "liberal media" only found the dozens who attended the rallies,

but trillions watched them on television.

5. Also, Pittsburgh is a Democratic town. They went 80% for Hillary Clinton.

He actually was NOT elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh. Besides, I heard their mayor on television a few days ago and they are heavily investing in clean energy and it is creating a lot of new job opportunities in the area, so the citizens of Pittsburgh are completely behind it.
