WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is "furious" at the "underwhelming" crowd at his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday evening, a major disappointment for what was expected to be a raucous return to the campaign trail after a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to multiple people close to the White House.

The president was fuming at his top political aides on Saturday even before the rally began, after his campaign revealed that six members of the advance team on the ground in Tulsa had tested positive for COVID-19, including Secret Service personnel, a person familiar with the discussions said.

Trump asked those around him why that information was exposed and expressed annoyance that the coverage ahead of his mega-rally was dominated by that revelation.

While the Trump re-election effort boasted it would fill the BOK Center that seats more than 19,000 people, only 6,200 supporters ultimately filled the general admission sections of the enclosed arena, the Tulsa fire marshal told NBC News.


..........................

Much of the blame is falling to campaign manager Brad Parscale, who in the days leading up the event aggressively touted the number of registrations, but those close to him stress his job is safe, for now.................................................

1. Obviously they are just doing too much testing of Trump's campaign Staff.

If they would test less then they would have fewer cases.

Is that not how the Trumpster told us it works?

[soldierant]

35. CiViD had nothing to do with it.

Or very little. It was mostly the TikTok teens - and there's not a durned thing he can do to them.

[Wellstone ruled]

2. So as a reaction,

cancels Visas on for certain people tomorrow. Fired the AG in New York. Blamed his advance people for catching Covid and the Public finding out.

Gee,you think The Orange Anus is Vindictive?

[SammyWinstonJack]

29. His whole life. Vindictive and loves getting even. His word.

[Blue Owl]

3. Floptics

n/t

[AllyCat]

19. Perfect!

[central scrutinizer]

4. Yes! Keep Brad in charge!

What could go wrong?

[AKing]

5. Uh oh....Javanka is pissed!

Washington (CNN)Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are "pissed" at campaign manager Brad Parscale over his predictions of a much larger crowd than the one that turned out at the Tulsa rally Saturday night, according to a Trump campaign source.
"Jared and Ivanka are pissed at Brad over promising on crowd size," the source said.
A spokesperson for Kushner later Sunday said it's "false" that they are upset with Parscale. And Parscale declined to comment for this story.

36. FUCK ALL OF THEM!

They're all a bunch of Fucking Morans!!

It's THEM that everyone has figured out, and now despises.

[murielm99]

6. Pah.

He's always furious about something. This is not news.

[sakabatou]

7. He's such a whiner

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. "underwhelming"? Miniscule! Tremendously Tiny! A Mushroom dick of a crowd!

[lunasun]

9. I haz sad for trump

?

[muriel_volestrangler]

10. Will Trump ever be 'furious' about people catching covid-19? Of course not.

He doesn't give a shit about the health of campaign workers, or Secret Service personnel. They are expendable. They are props for his narcissism.

[CloudWatcher]

25. Secret Service

I was wondering about them. Unlike everyone else, they don't have the luxury of just walking away. And it sounds like they don't have the option of wearing masks. Not a good situation.

If I were Trump I'd be worried about pissing off too many secret service folks.

[C Moon]

11. Was it true that anti-Trump people were signing up for tickets with no intention of going?

[louis-t]

14. Sure, but they didn't "take all of the tickets".

There was an unlimited supply. "Expecting" 100,000 people and then getting 6,200 is a total failure. If "a million people requested tickets", where were they? Where were 40,000 of them? 30,000?

[Thekaspervote]

15. Yes!! Thousands of ticket were spoken for from online teen group called Kpop

They even created fake phone numbers and email addresses that were seen by the campaign’s software as legit. They punked them good!!

[C Moon]

18. Oh boy. That's gonna put another whole the bastard's stomach lining.

[SoFlaBro]

12. Please keep Brad!

That bum is going to make sure we get Biden elected.

[Thekaspervote]

13. The kids from Kpop did ruin things! Yes, the actual turn was probably fixed days b4.

But everyone from dotard’s aides to the campaign manager gloated about how spectacular it was going to be with at least 100,000 attendees. It was all over the news and social media...what fools they look like.
It’s just too too perfect

[regnaD kciN]

28. Don't forget Antifa!...

...and their evil sinister cloaks of invisibility that allowed them to intimidate hundreds of thousands of supporters from showing up while remaining invisible to anyone else (media or police) covering the rally.

[Mz Pip]

37. All the kids did

was inflate the numbers. Since there was no cap on the number of tickets any Trump support could have gotten tickets. Except they didn’t.
Oops.

[DSandra]

16. ROFLMAO

[progree]

17. The campaign was so confident about a high turnout that it set up an overflow area ...

The campaign was so confident about a high turnout that it set up an overflow area, which it had expected to attract thousands. But the plan was scrapped at the last minute when only dozens gathered at the time the vice president and the president were set to address the crowd inside.

So they believed their own B.S. And so very likely the low attendance was a last-minute shocker to the very stable genius.

[PSPS]

20. "fuming at his top political aides"

For god's sake, they're buying trump ads on DC cable fox so he'll see them and "calm down." Not even his "political aides" will dare to tell him anything that will "set him off." They're all sycophantic toadies. This it the same as they had to do with hitler toward his end too.

[Bengus81]

21. BS...it wasn't dominated by that topic

Fact is people decided DAYS ago not to attend you dumb shit. OR they never wanted to go in the first place.

Boy...the day after the room is spinning like a top at the Trump WH trying to fix this disaster.

[warmfeet]

22. We have a chance to put all of these assholes into

the dustbin of history. We have bragging rights from there on.

More importantly, we have the chance to help millions of people, billions of people. Most of them disadvantaged. Most people, are disadvantaged. Help!

Help us.

[SmartJellyfish]

23. Call the waambulance

[BadGimp]

24. I Hope, no I PRAY they fire him!

Try to imagine what he knows...

[Rorey]

26. Grumpy Trumpy

Kind of a catchy name, but I'll probably stick with OrangeAss.

6200!!!

[blakstoneranger]

27. A TRUE DEMON--DAMIEN THORN--THE DEVIL IN THE FLESH!

He doesn't want people to know so he can have a rally that glorifies him to his "fans". No concern whatsoever of the possibility of people getting sick. this is truly evil. what makes a man this demonic. all the money in the world, all the experiences you can dream of achieved and yet its not enough--he wants people to die for him too!!

[Cha]

31. Blame it on

his own damn self.

Poor ratings, AASSFACE

[Cha]

32. Haha.. BLOTUS "furious" at Leakers of Facts AGAIN.. poor

widdle BLOATED ASSFACE

[Stuart G]

33. He ain't seen nothing yet...Trump will get less than 40 percent of the vote..Why?

He is a lying, conman & a bully. Take that to the bank...If he doesn't resign first....

[D1Wheeler]

34. clowns

I could have told you this was gonna happen!

[LogicFirst]

38. He is planning to come to Phoenix on Tuesday.

Will the crew even be tested?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

40. He could activate the New Mexico National Guard to fill the stands. With red t-shirts.

Jarvanka could get right on this.


And, yes, I know, but don't tell the Trump team.

[tclambert]

39. When Trump got back to DC, he looked feverish . . .

[lark]

41. He's so pissed that even most of "his" people actually care for their lives & don't want CV19.

He thought he'd be able to have thousands of infections and hundreds of deaths as a bonus for the proud optics for himself and got neither. He thought he'd be able to showcase the military killing/hurting terrorist of the antifa stripe (that doesn't exist) and instead he got crickets. When the going got real, his folks melted like snow. He totally underestimated their intelligence and will to live. Only 6200 were truly committed to risking their lives or are so stupid they'd come to an outside rally supposedly attended by up to a million people and not realize they are risking the lives of themselves and everyone they know who has any risk factors.

This is really excellent news!
