Trump Plans to Resume His Trademark Rallies in June

[left-of-center2012]

Former President Donald Trump expects to resume rallies with two events next month and one around the July 4 holiday, a person familiar with his plans confirmed.

Trump’s team is still determining the venues for the rallies, the person said. The planned resumption was first reported by the (conservative) New York Post.

With the former president reduced largely to calling into friendly conservative television programs and issuing press releases after being banned from Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites, the rallies will give Trump the biggest platform since he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February.

The former president, who turns 75 next month, is also expected to appear on May 22 at the first fundraiser for a new super-political action committee he’s backing. It’s being held at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey, where the former president is making a seasonal move from his Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida.

1. From prison?

I don’t think so...

[mahina]

3. Thought exactly that.

[GReedDiamond]

5. How many visitors is he allowed at one time? - nt

[Whiskeytide]

13. In a better world with the Rule of Law, prison is ...

... where most of his fans would be.

[monkeyman1]

46. like to see that stunt ?

[Sibelius Fan]

2. Better get the money upfront if your venue is being rented out by that asshole.

[BlueMTexpat]

9. My first thoughts exactly!

Hello Kindred Spirit!

[raccoon]

10. That's what I was thinking too. It's a given that he won't pay. Nt

[keithbvadu2]

42. And money upfront for security provided by the city.

And money upfront for security provided by the city.

[Norbert]

4. Not gonna happen if he is fighting extradition

[Bullfeathers]

6. I'm sorry what?

And then they laughed and laughed all the way to prison. Good grief he’s an idiot and I mean to be disrespectful

[sprinkleeninow]

7. Barf.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Good God, hasn't this country been through enough??!

This loser really is certifiable! How can we forget you if you won't go away??!

[Grokenstein]

11. More empty promises/threats from the ultimate Internet tough guy.

"I really believe I'd run in there even if I didn't have a weapon."
"I'll be right there with you."
"These losers and suckers believe everything I tell th--uh, I alone can do it, bigly!"

[Takket]

12. Okay now I want Obama to announce he's holding a public rally on the same day

And we’ll see which one the “left wing media” covers live on every network.

[no_hypocrisy]

14. I doubt it.

1. There are past venues still waiting for compensation for the clean-up, the security, the insurance for his rallies.

2. Trump is not going to start paying a security or deposit to new venues.

3. Trump is no longer President; therefore there is reduced fear/apprehension of retribution if his requests for venues are declined.

4. Trump's base may love him, but he's old news. Even if they believe he's a President-in-Exile, it's not the same as having all that power behind him right now. He's just a stiff like the rest of them.

[aeromanKC]

15. Well, that will make extradition that much easier.

[LakeVermilion]

16. He should stay in Florida...

I doubt that New Jersey will resist extradition to New York.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Mad Cow returns from Pasture to make more cow pies

Demented, off-key, past shelf life crook ready to campaign again.

Trump fatigue will be very real. Saturation dew point reached months ago.

Octogenarian centerfolds would be more popular.

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. Well, Yea! He won't do it because he will have to

pay upfront. He already owes thousands to cities he visited last time

[StarfishSaver]

19. Let's see how it works out for him without the WH Communications Agency handling sound and tech,

a White House advance team, press office and staff organizing, promoting and staffing the event, a full presidential-level Secret Service detail, and an entire planeload of press corps covering him...

Oh, and he has to pay his own bills.

[tanyev]

23. +1. There still seem to be plenty of toadies willing to help him do things,

but they won't work for free.

[StarfishSaver]

26. And they don't have the skill, training or resources of the career White House staff

who spent four years having to carry Trump. He's in a whole different world now.

[GoCubsGo]

52. Yep. He might manage to have one.

It will be a shitshow, and that will be the end of them. Especially if he's restricted to having them in Florida to avoid extradition. July in Florida! How awesome! It'll be a blast watching the orange paint melt off of his face.

Everything Trump touches dies, including his cult rallies.

[Withywindle]

56. that's gonna be hilariously pitiful

It'll make the Four Seasons Total Landscaping show look like Oscar night and the Super Bowl combined.

[spanone]

20. FUCK HIM

life is better without it

[treestar]

21. He stopped?

[dweller]

22. WHAT ?1!1

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA

what an asshole

✌🏻

[Boomerproud]

24. Know how we always say the media and the cult can't quit him?

He can't quit himself. I think this announcement is to keep him in the news. Remember his "beautiful health plan" that was always going to be rolled out in 2 weeks?

[Etherealoc1]

25. More sabotage

another super spreader.

[Johnny2X2X]

27. They're going to flop for him

The first few will get a ton of coverage, but then people will get bored.

Even during the campaign he wasn't drawing that big of crowds. And if he's going to charge admission, which I suspect he'll want to do, it's going to be bad for him.

[tinrobot]

28. ...and who's paying for that?

He stiffed cities out of millions when he could get away with it as President.

Now, not so much. Any intelligent venue will want cash up front.

[smirkymonkey]

37. That's my big question.

These things are expensive and he's not going to spend his own cash putting on these shows.

[mucifer]

53. putin might. he loves chaos

[left-of-center2012]

29. Maybe he could do fairs and carnivals ?

Some have hog calling contests or cow chip throwing contests.

Seems like his kind of people.

[Liberal In Texas]

30. I wonder if he's going to try to charge admission this time.

If so, I predict a turnout worse than the big fail in Tulsa.

[forgotmylogin]

32. It's being held at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey

So it's a fundraiser, not a rally; like they'd let the undesirables without money in.

[DENVERPOPS]

45. He just can't get over

the temptation to continue grifting money into his pockets........

[murielm99]

49. Even though it is being held at his golf club,

security will be an issue. Who will provide enough security? How big is his lifetime Secret Service protective staff? Will there be a crowd of fascist thugs surrounding him? Will they be uniformed?

This could turn into a mob scene or a circus. We shall see.

[July]

54. Per the snippet above, Bedminster's in addition to a rally. nt

[JohnnyRingo]

31. In the exercise yard, I hope.

"Lock her up! Crooked Hillary!!!"

[gratuitous]

33. Still determining venues, are they?

Let's see, who doesn't require a substantial cash deposit in advance? Who will provide free security? Who will guarantee a full, enthusiastic house?

[Champp]

51. the repubiQon trump campain still owes lots of money to cities

that they have stiffed...many court cases trying to get the republiQon Cheater-in-Chief to pay his bills.

And this is what the republiQons worship. Sad.

[ananda]

34. Hmm...

Maybe then he'll be extradited to NY.

[Bengus81]

35. Going to fly his 757 with the missing engine??

He sure as FUCK isn't riding free on AF1 like the old days.

[Initech]

36. Yeah how is he going to get to these venues? And who's footing the bill?

[maxsolomon]

38. Some deep-pocket donor.

Like the surviving Koch, the surviving Adelson, the Mercers, who knows.

Maybe the RNC?

Trump also has tons of cash from his post-election fundraising.

There's pretty much no way to stop this, and it's a prelude to him running in '24. Re-establish the brand.

[marble falls]

39. I would think one of his bigger obstacles is his reputation for stiffing people and cities.

[11 Bravo]

40. Grifters gonna grift.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

41. Of course he does

Needy Amin needs the attention.

[keithbvadu2]

43. He's going to get rich selling tickets to his followers.

He's going to get rich selling tickets to his followers.

Repetitive ticket sales on your credit card.

[JI7]

44. They always say this but it never happens.

[monkeyman1]

47. he' going to fly in on con -air -1 !

[Hekate]

48. Dear Venue-Managers: Get paid in full up front. nt

[ronlyons]

50. Part of me wants him to go back into the public eye

Just to make Republicans look bad.

[Nululu]

55. Low turnout predicted. Hoping he's jailed first
