Trump hopes for "massive" rallies of "25,000" this year

President Trump on Wednesday said he's hoping to hold more of his "massive" "25,000-person rallies" in the not-so-distant future. The president didn't offer a target date but said he hopes that this happens before the November presidential election, which is likely to take place before a widespread vaccine is available.

"Hopefully in the not too distant future we'll have some massive rallies and people will be sitting next to each other. I can't imagine a rally where you have every fourth seat full, every six seats are empty for every one that you have full, that wouldn't look too good. No, I hope that we're going to be able to do some good old fashioned 25,000-person rallies where everyone's going wild because they love our country," the president told reporters during a business roundtable discussion.

The president also said he plans to travel to Arizona and Ohio soon, apparently for official events. Mr. Trump said he's eager to get out of the White House, despite how beautiful it is.

Public health experts don't expect a vaccine to be ready for 12-18 months, but the administration and researchers are trying to speed up that timetable. The president's current social distancing guidelines, which technically expire Thursday, recommend that gatherings be limited to no more than 10 people.

It sounds like he just came to the planet and hasn't checked the news yet.

Sorry, General Cockwomble, you can wish and hope and pray, but that's not looking like a green light situation so far, well, unless you are looking to decimate your base and wear a hazmat outfit while you bloviate and prevaricate.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Seat them as close as possible just don’t wreck the health system.

I wonder how many people are stupid enough to pack themselves into a Trump rally? I'm afraid, a lot.

That will wet his whistle. Who else can he order to attend him? Hopefully a big evangelical church will arrange a few for him

since he’s always grifting.

I’m sure the rubes would buy DumpShots at ten bucks a pop.

What do they have to lose?
