Drunken Irishman

Trump couldn't even pack an arena in the heart of the most conservative state in the country.

Let this be a lesson:

The rabble-rousers, and COVID deniers, are still a minority in this country.

Despite the claim that a million-plus people requested tickets, it looks like, at most, 11,000 people are there.

Still 11,000 too many but I think this speaks to the general mood of the country: they're over Donald Trump.

...have purchased tickets under fictitious names and never showed up, so that Trump would have to look at empty seats.

Parscale must have been under orders to overbook to avoid that...which tells me Don didn’t like it.

Trump's many, many supporters outside.

Good news if this gimmick doesn't work anymore.

When I did advance for President George W. Bush, if we’d asked him to put this much political capital on the line and then didn’t manage to fill the room, we’d have been canned before AF1 went wheels down. #Tulsa

How wealthy Brad Parscale got off of him and how many wealthy luxuries he has purchased in the last few years?

Get Trumpy fired up seething in anger as he walks out to tiny crowd... Now would be a good time to have a stroke or cardiac event and be rushed to the hospital.

Is that accurate? Or is NBC promoting the Trump campaign propaganda?

Is there a link to a reputable source?

I really want to rub the noses of some conservative Tulsa friends into that if true.
