This is not entertaining on any of the general Trump levels. Very low energy.

We're gonna get a Maggie Haberman article about Trump sulking in the White House and blaming some random aide for the crowd.

Mandark · « **Reply #59655 on:** June 20, 2020, 09:23:09 PM »

This is the third time in a month that Trump's made big logistical demands so he could get some publicity and had it backfire.

He had the park police clear protesters so he could do the church photo op, and all the coverage was about the park police gassing the crowd. He recalled the West Point cadets so he'd be able to make a speech, and all anyone remembers is him drinking water and walking weird. They booked an NBA-sized arena so he could have a rally and set up an elaborate stage outside so he could address the overflow crowd, and instead there are a ton of empty seats.

He also did one of those things where he encouraged his supporters to get violent but in a deniable way.

Hard to care after he tried summoning his biker supporters to DC a couple weeks ago and nobody showed up.

Mandark · « **Reply #59664 on:** June 20, 2020, 10:43:12 PM »

This whole "I told them slow down the testing" feels like a classic Trump cycle where he says something horrible and/or idiotic, his media surrogates say he obviously didn't mean that, and then he reiterates yes that's exactly what I meant.

The mirror version is when he says something terrible and they defend it on the merits, and then he says he was just joking.

The rally certainly was bonkers so on that front he delivered.

Still, the Trump campaign is in trouble. They seemed to rely on data more and more much like the Clinton 2016 campaign.
Parscale thought he could just sit back and let Facebook do the work and there's Kushner who everyone in MAGA land hates.

I'm guessing he's going to shake-up the campaign staff and perhaps the White House staff too for the final stretch.

Not only can god emperor Trump drink a glass of water he can also toss it away

unironically the fact that certain people signal boosted that dumb water shit was so cringe, of all things some people chose to armchair diagnose the man with a mental defect rendering him incapable of drinking from a cup

I still don't know if people genuinely believe the same thing about him walking down the ramp weird or standing like he has crippling scoliosis or if it's just a wink-and-nod troll by the 35+ crowd, I think it's rather clear and well documented that he wears lifts like many insecure businessmen, not sure why we need to harp on shitty birtherism-tier conspiracies that will be waved away and harped on as "fake news" as he explicitly is fucking over people

if anyone thinks that bernie isn't still campaigning.

Quote

f you think you are living in unusual and unprecedented times, you're right. This is a moment in American history that kids will be studying in school for a very long time.

We are living through a pandemic that has claimed the lives of 120,000 Americans. And, now, after cities and states have "reopened," the number of new cases is skyrocketing.

We are living through an economic meltdown where over 30 million workers have lost their jobs, and people across the country are struggling with hunger, evictions and unpayable debts.

We are living through a massive outpouring of rage against police brutality and murder and the systemic racism which has plagued this country since it's inception.

And, in the midst of all of that, we have a narcissistic and demagogic president who defies science in terms of the pandemic, ignores the pain of the unemployed and hungry and, instead of leading the effort to combat racism, is actively trying to encourage violence and divide us up.

That's the bad news.

Here's the good news:

We are actively and successfully fighting back.

As a result of mass demonstrations across the country, local, state and federal governments are beginning to move toward holding police officers accountable and rethinking the very nature of policing.

And, at the ballot box, there are a number of strong progressive candidates who are taking on the political establishment, running great campaigns and have an excellent chance of winning their Democratic primary and general elections.

Among the candidates whom we are supporting with elections coming up very soon are:

Charles Booker for U.S. Senate in Kentucky, Jamaal Bowman (NY-16), Mondaire Jones (NY-17), Samelys López (NY-15), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Arati Kreibich (NJ-05), Amy Padden in Judicial District 18, Colorado, Alonzo Payne in Judicial District 12, Colorado, Matt Toporowski in Albany County, New York, Mike Gianaris for New York State Senate, Julia Salazar for New York State Senate, Jessica Ramos for New York State Senate, Jabari Brisport for New York State Senate, Yuh-Line Niou for New York State Assembly, and Ron Kim for New York State Assembly.

Last but not least, in the midst of these tumultuous times, it is imperative that we maintain our bold vision for the America we want to see in the years to come, a vision that more and more Americans are embracing.

Yes. We can transform a rigged and corrupt political system and create a vibrant democracy based on one person, one vote.

Yes. We can create an economic system based on the principles of justice, not greed.

Yes. We can create a guaranteed federal jobs program and decent income for all American workers as we rebuild our crumbling infrastructure.

Yes. We can make public colleges and universities tuition free, cancel all student debt, and have high quality and universal childcare.

Yes. We can make health care a human right and not a jobs benefit, and pass a Medicare for All single-payer program.

Yes. We can create millions of good jobs by implementing a Green New Deal as we lead the world in combating climate change.

Yes. We can move toward a country which eliminates racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia and all forms of bigotry.

Yes. We can fight against all forms of gender discrimination and protect a woman's right to control her own body.

Yes. We can pass common sense gun safety legislation and end the epidemic of gun violence in our country.

And, yes! Listening to the American people, and responding to their needs, we can do much, much more.

In this difficult moment in American history, this is not the time for despair or retreat. Now is the time for courage. Let us go forward together.

In solidarity,

Bernie

“Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don’t know what they’re talking about or how our rallies work. Reporters who wrote gleefully about TikTok and K-Pop fans - without contacting the campaign for comment - behaved unprofessionally and were willing dupes to the charade. Registering for a rally means you’ve RSVPed with a cell phone number and we constantly weed out bogus numbers, as we did with tens of thousands at the Tulsa rally, in calculating our possible attendee pool. These phony ticket requests never factor into our thinking. What makes this lame attempt at hacking our events even more foolish is the fact that every rally is general admission - entry is on a first-come-first-served basis and prior registration is not required. The fact is that a week’s worth of the fake news media warning people away from the rally because of COVID and protestors, coupled with recent images of American cities on fire, had a real impact on people bringing their families and children to the rally. MSNBC was among outlets reporting that protesters even blocked entrances to the rally at times. For the media to now celebrate the fear that they helped create is disgusting, but typical. And it makes us wonder why we bother credentialing media for events when they don’t do their full jobs as professionals.”

Wait why would he deny the TikTok/Kpop thing? That seems like a perfect thing to blame it on for the Trump campaign, instead he denies that's the reason why the venue was 30% full and instead it's literally just people didn't show up?

I think brad wants to bail out and some people think Trump is planning to jump out of the plane before it crashes too.

Parscale's thing is the online operation that he's been telling people is super sophisticated and powerful. The kpop stan narrative might get Trump off the hook for being unpopular but it's no good for Parscale's brand.

The ticket reservations were more about building up a database for the campaign (and future fundraising lists) than about actual expected attendance, which is why he talks about getting cell phone numbers to verify. Can't come out and say that now because they spent the week before the event hyping their numbers. Plus all the microtargeting in the world won't mean shit if Trump's sitting at 35% approval in the fall.
