2. I just looked ahead to see what MSNBC and CNN have scheduled for Saturday

It looks like they have their regular programming, but we can bet what they'll be covering.

3. It was reported early he didn't like the idea of a rally..that it made him look bad

The guy has lost is tiny mind

4. If he doesn't like rallies, why does he keep having them?

And of course all his rallies - let alone January 6th - make him look bad. He continued to hold campaign rallies instead of doing the job - and he made no effort to stop January 6th. If he actually thinks this one "makes him look bad," he hasn't been paying attention for the past 5 years. But it's TFG, he never paid attention and anything he did made him "look bad." As for his mind...
