CROWD STARTS TO LEAVE TRUMP 45 MINUTES INTO INDIANA, PA SPEECH

CROWD STARTS TO LEAVE TRUMP 45 MINUTES INTO INDIANA, PA SPEECH

JASON EASLEY DONALD TRUMP, TOP NEWS MON, SEP 23RD, 2024

https://www.politicususa.com/2024/09/23/crowd-starts-to-leave-trump-45-minutes-into-indiana-pa-speech.html

"SNIP...........

This was Trump’s second campaign stop of the day. At his first campaign stop, Trump threatened John Deere.

What has been clear throughout the entire 2024 campaign is that Donald Trump can’t do multiple campaign stops in a day. His mind can’t handle it. By the second stop, has consistently been incoherently rambling.

Donald Trump won’t find a much friendlier crowd than the one that showed up for him in Indiana, PA, and even they were worn down to the point of leaving by his meanderings.

One of the reasons why Trump is currently losing this election is that unlike Kamala Harris who keeps her speeches short and energizes her supporters, Donald Trump drains the energy of his crowds by sucking all off the energy out of the captive audience to feed his insecurities.

............SNIP"

He stands up there talking incoherently, bringing up stupid stuff that has nothing to do with the election and they yell and clap for him. You know they can't understand what he's saying...
I just don't see what they see in him.

Edited to add: I seriously think he's having "mini-strokes", called TIA's.

You’re not alone.

Over the years I’ve noted certain elements of the Trump Cult.

There are the original Cult members, angry at the Republican establishment, the bomb-throwers who believe the political process is irreparably broken, who see Trump as the agent to destroy the political edifice.

There are the deplorables who see voting for Trump as an act of defiance, the frat boy mentality that gets some sort of twisted pleasure being hateful, thoughtless, and offensive.

There are the ‘outlaws’ who fancy themselves independent self-made men who share Trump’s contempt for government and regulatory policy.

There are the ‘pragmatic’ Trump voters who know Trump is scum but support his agenda; they approve of the Trump message but hate the messenger.

And of course there are the blind-partisan Republican hacks who vote for whomever the GOP nominee might be – no matter how reprehensible and unfit to be president.

So yes, many rally-goers are leaving early but they’ll turn out to vote for Trump in November.

and also that he went on the show with the new "terrible" host 9 years ago. I guess being awful = having the premier late-night show on television for more than a decade.

for the rally, and by the time they figured out that it was in Pennsylvania, all the attendees had already left to go back to Indiana.

He would have been better served by having it in Intercourse.

Turen in their receipt when they leave and they get paid. Don't know this 1st hand, but have read it in several places.

There was a story on KDKA evening news. It showed the rally site, which looked to be the IUP Field House, but seemed pretty small. The media was on a press area above the bleachers which appeared not to have been fully pulled out. IUP college Dems and others turned out to protest.

Lots of good stuff especially the story about new and repeat Trump rally attendees.

(I mean he shouldn't talk at all. He just reveals how stupid/deranged he is).

But less is better usually from a speech so maybe they are really bored.
