because he doesn't 'want to be sitting in a place that's 50% empty'Donald Trump called North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper Friday to appeal his decision to host a socially distanced Republican National Convention amid concerns relating to the coronavirus, The Washington Post reported.
Trump told Cooper that he wouldn't comply with a scaled-down version of the convention because he said he doesn't "want to be sitting in a place that's 50 percent empty" when his presidential renomination is announced, according to two people familiar with the call.
"Since the day I came down the escalator, I've never had an empty seat and I find the biggest stadiums," he told Cooper, recalling when his presidential candidacy for the Republican party was announced at the Trump Tower in New York in June 2015.

parents, neighbors, and co-workers. Hell give 'em food, water, tents, and plenty of land to bury the dead.

Imagine the joy on trump's face as an entire auditorium full of crammed in, unmasked RWNJs start sneezing and spreading their gems around.

No one ever pushes back against this jerk, (see: Murkowski, Lisa).
