https://kfor.com/news/oklahoma-national-guard-activated-to-be-present-during-president-trumps-tulsa-rally/TULSA, Okla. (KFOR) The Oklahoma Army National Guard will be present during President Trumps Make America Great Again rally in Tulsa on Saturday.
Gov. Kevin Stitt has activated the National Guard at the request of the Tulsa Police Department, according to Charlie Hannema, Stitts Chief of Communications.
Guard members will go on duty Thursday and deploy to Tulsa on Friday.
Hannema said 240 Guard members will be present during the rally.
Trump tweeted that almost one million people said they want to attend. Tulsa officials on Wednesday said theyre anticipating about 100,000 people.
The rally will be held at the BOK Center, 200 S. Denver Ave., which has a 19,199-seat capacity.

I really feel for the people of Tulsa but am extremely glad that Dump didn't pick Oklahoma City. I have heard that Trump's campaign is advertising on Craigslist to get minorities to hold signs and clap.
Our coronavirus infection rates have been a lot higher. This is a very red state but Tulsa is a very sensitive area. There very well might be some pushback on Trump's visit.

Maybe the Oklahoma National Guard will gas the overflow crowd and drive them out of Tulsa.

No, there are FIVE BILLION people who want to attend. In fact, alien races are now considering revealing themselves to humanity just in time to get tickets to this great event. It's intergalactic!
"And this alien, a fine alien by the way, came up to me and said...aliens really like me..."Sir!"..something like tears were coming from his large, pitch black eyes...It said, "Sir, beings from across the galaxy want to attend your rally."
