Trump to hold rally in Oklahoma, first since coronavirus pandemic began

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump will hold a rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, next Friday – his first since since states began shutting down in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed more than 110,000 lives in the US.

The 19 June rally will likely rattle some public health experts, as coronavirus infections rise in about a dozen states. On Wednesday, the US approached nearly 2 million confirmed cases.

Trump’s signature rallies often draw tens of thousands of people but have been on hiatus since 2 March because of the coronavirus. The president’s campaign has been eager to resume them as it tries to move past the pandemic, even as cases continue to rise in some parts of the country.

A Trump campaign spokesperson tweeted a movie trailer-style video earlier Wednesday that advertised: “This month we’re back.”

I'm sure it will be one big biohazard.

1. As Eugene Robinson pointed out...

Being held on Juneteenth, on virtually the 99th anniversary of the Tulsa massacre.

I'd ask if Trump was intentionally hoping to incite violence, but I don't think I want to know the answer.

3. The ultimate gas-lighting event!

Let Trump have his moment with the cult....it will be must watch TV just to see this man seal his fate as a 1 term LOSER.

4. We are just beside ourselves that this shit show

will be here next week (we live in Bixby, a Tulsa suburb). We'll be sure to wave as the asshole flies overhead.

9. Make that the middle-finger wave while you're at it!

14. Exactly! Perhaps a double bird! n/t

11. as someone on Twitter pointed out

Trump doesn't know jack shit about the Tulsa Massacre or Juneteenth, but Stephen Miller sure does

2. I wonder how many will show up--

Are they in thrall enough to risk their very lives....

5. Let's say 40% decide that it ain't worth it.

Not good optics for a "re-open American after I fucked up" pResident. The explanation of why he's the best thing ever will be hilarious in it's absurdity. In a 1/2 empty arena.

6. And he's threatening to sue the media because they report on polls

I love it. I hope it's constipating him to see those polls.

8. This campaign rally is probably the worst thing a sane President would consider.

But not the Donald! Better to flame out spectacularly than try to be a pResident to all the people. Please proceed, Donald. More cease and desist letters on those who will report on your self-immolation!

7. +1, seeing a lot of Red Don's supporters are in the vulnerable age group

10. Hope no one has a coughing fit.

[duforsure]

12. He'll pay people to show up to it

Just like he has done numerous other times. Then claim how big the crowd is but claim its 10 times more than it is .

13. Can Tulsa AFFORD a Trump rally during the Pandemic?

Trump always stiffs the cities for the expenses associated with his rallies. And with the expected increase of cases of CV-19, will there be adequate medical assistance/treatment for future patients?
