  1. I wonder if the lie becomes so obivous at this point, for some? There has to be a threshold or many thresholds, depending on the people. ‘no empty seats’… but I can see the seats, now, as you say this…

    I know it’s a cult, but it is – even for him – a very live, right here right now, verifiable lie.

    Low energy. Donald Trump doesn’t have the same energy he used to when he was raping 13 year old girls on Epstein’s pedo-express.

  3. Trump gets caught in real time lying about rally attendance with a simple scan of the venue. Nothing new for a pathological liar like Trump. No doubt Trump had the camera man fired.

    RW voters love Trump and overwhelmingly support him. They admire & praise him and hope their kids look up to a man like him???

    This tells us a helluva lot more about RW voters (ie; cult members) than it does about Trump, who’s desperate to stay out of prison. **RW voters are the biggest threat to democracy, NOT Trump!**

  4. It’s wild how Trump claimed no empty seats while everyone was posting proof to the contrary. It’s like he can’t handle the truth anymore, and it just makes him look silly

  5. The guy is so disconnected from reality at this point that I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks that actually happened.

  6. Trump is weird, and that gets under his skin.

    The thing that he really doesn’t want to accept? Trump is washed.

  7. It’s kinda wild how Trump can’t even keep his own lies straight at his rallies. Claiming there’s never an empty seat while people are posting pics of empty ones in real time is just embarrassing. Guess reality doesn’t fit his narrative, huh?

  8. Trump’s claim about never having empty seats at his rallies just fell flat, and it’s kinda funny how quickly reality hit him. With empty seats showing up in photos and videos, it’s like watching someone get caught in a tall tale. Guess the crowd size isn’t what it used to be

  9. Ever wonder if Trump is legitimately short-sighted, so he might be able to make out people who are close but can’t see people further away.

    He just assumes there are that many people in the back because he might not be able to see that.

    That’s why he has to have things written in big font. He just can’t see because he’s old.

  10. That’s still way too many people to be supporting a traitor who tried to steal an election with a fake elector scheme.

  11. It’s not about the empty seats. It’s about this guy never seeing the reality of a situation! He doesn’t acknowledge truth. How the heck is he going to protect the USA from our enemies both domestic and foreign? How can he make our lives better in any way, shape or form? He’s incapable!

  12. He talks more about crowd size and how he won the debate more than policy. Yeah, it’s a weird cult.

    I don’t care that he lies about the seats. He lies about everything, the painfully obvious all the time.

    What I care about is this: that arena is full in 2016. It ain’t full now.

    Having someone tell you something, and then see it, in real time, as something completely different, just has to be a moment where one questions one’s sanity.

    I recall when I was a catholic, when the priest told me that the wafer of bread turns into the real life, actual body of Christ, that I realized it was all a hoax. I was, up to that point, completely sold, but from then on, I doubted everything. Maybe MAGA is the same thing. Maybe its getting through.

  15. It’s crazy how much South Park imitates life. They did a brilliant episode called “spring break” that was about how Mr. Garrison (Trump) just wants to rally all the time, suggesting that **that’s all Trump’s campaign and presidency is** — it’s an addiction to attention and “rallying” —there’s no policy or actual work behind any of it, it’s just a drive to get in front of people and complain about everything. *And his constituents expect nothing more than that.* **They just want to hear what they are thinking, said back to them from a podium.**

  16. Poor ole Donny…maybe his vision has faded and he can’t see more than a few metres 😉 LOL And of course his “people” would be too scared to tell him the truth. He sure has always had a big problem with accepting truth and reality.

  17. I won’t believe in him falling apart until the results on Election Day. Empty seats or not, there’s still too many who want to vote for him even if they don’t go to the rallies.

  18. Last-Juggernaut4664 on

    What’s striking isn’t just the empty seats, but how the arena is so devoid of sound. It’s like there’s no enthusiasm in the room beneath the hollow echos of his droning remonstrances.

  19. This may be the normalization of his mental state. His dad had dementia and he is showing signs of it also. Best way to combat people knowing the truth is if his party does the same things so it then seems to not just be him losing his mind. It is sad that they want to fuck democracy up so bad that they will use him as a sock puppet just to win. I mean the fact that he is screwing up the places he is at a lot, avoiding all fact checking, not being able to come up with a actual plan for anything that isn’t sounding like some dimwit that how no idea of how things work and last of all is this sudden fly issue he is having. My mom died from dementia and one thing that tends to happen is your brain loses the ability of basic bodily functions which one of them is bowel control. Hence why he prefers outdoor venues and has flies bothering him. If he wins they will have to basically cover up the fact that they knew but seeing as he has already had two people go after him it will probably be easy to make people believe something else.

  20. Trump’s tendency to exaggerate attendance or support at his rallies seems to be a recurring theme. It’s fascinating how quickly the reality tends to dismantle his claims, especially in the digital age where everything is easily fact-checked. It might seem like a bold strategy, but when the facts don’t line up, it only serves to weaken his credibility even further.

    Honestly, none of this means anything to me until we find out he loses either November 5th or 6th. Trump is forever the lucky loser and I don’t put it past people that he could still win. I hope he doesn’t and I hope it’s an absolute solid win for Harris, but I went in to 2016 thinking Hillary was a sure thing.

    If only donOLD had the same energy he had while raping 13 year-old girls on Epstein’s pedo island

  23. Sweet Jesus, no one but him and his cult care about crowd sizes and rallies!!! Sane people aren’t looking for a Jim jones style ‘rally’ where they can yell and scream about who they’d like to imprison. This isn’t American Idol, it’s the future of our country

  24. Excellent_Project789 on

    Sad thing is he will still get 70million votes no matter what. We need to be better than that.

    with how little those people are enjoying themselves and the number of open seats, it’s like a showing of Megalopolis… a MAGAlopolis

  26. I’m from Berks county where this event was held and I have some context. Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones had an event in the same venue 2 weeks ago. It appears that event had a bigger attendance. Also the location of the venue causes a problem with traffic if it has a big event. The water cooler talk was avoid Reading because of the traffic but that just didn’t materialize. They had roads shut down for trumps motorcade but that was the extent of the inconvenience. Outside of Reading is Trump County. All the crazy paraphernalia you see in posts on Reddit is here. This should have been a slam dunk for Trump.

    He’s been a liar from day one. Everybody’s sick of his whining and bitching and complaining.

  28. To anyone who might believe low rally turnout means millions more won’t vote for him just to fuck over the rest of us, please know, there is no limit to their vindictive nature and shameless depravity.
