Is there going to be a crowd at the parade on Saturday?

Or does it matter?

Maybe DC’ers and the DMV area shows up but will there be a big crowd?
Trump just wants images of him standing over the waves of tanks and Bradley’s.

1. Probably a few select MAGAts

Who else would want to?

2. It's a multimillion dollar photo op

Actual crowds don’t matter when you have AI and Photoshop. And a weak media to do your bidding.

3. I think he just wants the spectacle of Himself presiding over the big parade.

Anyhow, thunderstorms are predicted for Saturday afternoon and evening. I'd like to see some photos of him standing in the rain with his wet stringy hair hanging down and his soaked baggy blue suit. Or maybe a bolt of lightning.

16. Remember he claimed it didn't rain on his first inauguration

Everyone jokes about his obvious lie about the crowd size but it always cracked me up that he immediately re-wrote what we all saw about the freaking weather.

He claimed it THAT DAY if memory serves

4. Two DU members said they'd protest in DC Sat, but I do NOT HOLD them to it. I want them to be safe. . . . nt

15. Agree strongly. According to the No Kings protest website they've made the intentional

decision NOT to hold an official protest in DC, and are asking people to think about attending the Philly protest or another protest instead. It's incredible the number of protests expected. There's even one where I live, a town of around 15,000 (being vague on purpose).

5. It's supposed to rain.

6. If it does rain

Expect trump to file a lawsuit against the National Weather Service.

7. There appear to be ads out for seat fillers for this event

I remember that trump used actors to make it appear that there was a crowd for his first event at trump tower. It seems that trump is hiring seat fillers for this event

Seat Fillers Needed - June 14th - Constitution Avenue - DC

8. Those advertisements are usually fake.

I've seen a version of that post that gets doctored up every time a big event happens from Dems or Republicans to make it look like they're trying to pay for attendants.

10. The ad is satire n/t

13. He'll move it inside

[Torchlight]

11. He'll ensure there are bodies there, one way or another, despite the weather

Losing face in front of a national audience is the one red line of his I feel safe calling an Absolute.

[Hekate]

14. Easy to do with AI, right?

[BlueTsunami2018]

17. They claim they expect "hundreds of thousands" of MAGAts there.

So I’m assuming there will be something of a crowd.

18. If this parade is cancelled, I will be smiling
