Do you know anyone who's done it? Did they use their actual info or make something up? Did they receive lots of spam? LauraInLA Oct 2024 #2

It's that easy! lindysalsagal Oct 2024 #9
But I'm sure 80,000 people will show up and attend Norbert Oct 2024 #3
Yeah, they'll all be in the parking lot but the lame stream news won't show they are there. TheBlackAdder Oct 2024 #5
They'll claim it was 160,000 and then blow up the picture of the audience to amplify it. Initech Oct 2024 #8
Better yet. Show up and then leave. TheBlackAdder Oct 2024 #4

No way that room in the bottom pic holds 8K people. I'd guess maybe three hundred, at best. mucholderthandirt Oct 2024 #16

The confirmation comes through the phone number by text, which you can do on a computer. The rest of the info doesn't matter, ahem, count, ahem, get checked.

Don't ask me how I know.......

And Fox News will repeat the lie ad nauseum, then Donny will go on whatever Fox show he feels like and congratulate himself. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I've been to record shows in this facility multiple times. My first reaction was there's no way they could fit 8,000 people into that space. However, I found out I was in Hall D which is a little less than half as big as Hall C where Trump will be. I'm still skeptical about an 8000 figure, though, unless that is an official capacity number from the facility itself. Note, if they really thought they were going to attract a big crowd, they would be in Hall A or Hall B which are both much larger than Hall C.

His handlers tried to get him to answer 2 more questions and he just ignored them. Clearly he was sundowning and losing rationality.

It was time to listen to Andrea Bocelli’s “Time to Say Goodbye.” After listening to James Brown, Trump began to speak again, as if remembering that he was still at an event that was billed as a town hall. “This is the most important election in the history of our country,” Trump said, once again accusing Democrats of weaponizing elections. But then he went back to his music.

The crowd cheered and danced to the Village People song from the 1970s, which celebrates gay cruising culture. Noem put her hands up in the shape of a “Y.” As the song was ending, Trump mouthed the words, “Nobody’s leaving.”

“Nobody’s leaving. What’s going on? There’s nobody leaving. Keep going,” he said, as Rufus Wainwright’s version of “Hallelujah” played next. “All right, turn that music up! Turn that up. Great song!”

Then it was “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinéad O’Connor. “An American Trilogy” by Elvis Presley. “Rich Men North of Richmond” by Oliver Anthony. Trump stood and swayed.
