Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo. Cue Twilight Zone theme song. Trump's moving the rally in Ohio to a different venue. Ooooooooooooh. Scary.

Trump's not worried. Neither are his supporters.

For educational purposes, maybe it would be good if someone reported these crowd sizes as a percentage of voting Americans...

Trump managed a rally crowd in Michigan today that amounted to 0.000014 percent of Americans!

I've really got to sign off and move onto more productive endeavors now, but your comment makes me wonder and ask...

When did Trump ever worry about anything since he was born into privilege and then since his daddy fronted all the money and resources to begin Trump junior's real estate development career?

That Trump doesn't worry about anything now too as Trump is a billionaire and POTUS is what worries people not so blindly supportive, more than just a little, while Trump supporters get drunk with their sing song at these rallies all about Trump and not really about the candidates Trump is supposed to be promoting there.

Talk about some strong cool aid...

Trump should follow your lead and describe the crowd size as "packed" since that way there wouldn't be the need to constantly point out that Trump exaggerates the crowd numbers.

Either way, however, I think people who get some comfort that Trump can fill out these venues are the same who find Trump appealing for reasons that thankfully just don't cut it for most other Americans. Hopefully that truth will be reflected in 2020, but with so many Americans who can't seem to see the difference between Trump and their rump, surely anything is possible these days.

To that end, no doubt in the days to come we'll also be seeing more Trump supporters at these rallies with QAnon shirts, also a scary thing...
If there's live video from the event and it shows standing room only on the floor and just about every seat in the facility filled what would you call it since the term "packed" seems to bother you?

Thanks. I think mostly true on both counts!
Kathleen is just mad because her anti-trump book isn't selling well and she's clearly got some TDS herself.

No! You misunderstand! I think "packed" is a much better way to describe what Trump normally exaggerates with incorrect crowd size numbers. "Packed" is a much safer and more correct way to describe the crowd if in fact all seats are filled.

That said, I can think of all kinds of people, TV personalities, sports figures and other politicians who can fill equal number if not more seats in these venues that don't represent anything all that great about America.

I suspect you and other Trump supporters view these crowds more meaningful than the greater numbers showing up at the Trump protest rallies, but of course that's just another example of confirmation bias that makes all this back-and-forth utterly pointless. Right? At least about that truth I'm sure we can agree...

Cheers until maybe tomorrow!

Maybe they realized that 90% of the people who asked for tickets were Qtards and hopefully they can week them out by telling them they are not wanted there when they show up.

President Trump doesn't sit around wringing his hands. He acts. While we are sitting here typing our posts, he is working, doing, accomplishing.

Some people are just not worriers. They're doers.

Only thing that will matter is who shows up on election day...that's why he is there....wake the few people sleeping and get them ALL ready to vote to keep a leftist out of office....size doesn't matter at all...I don't care if its 1 person or 1 million people he is speaking to only people struck with TDS whine about crowd size.

Actually, Trump is not moving the venue. There are people that organize events. We do not know why they moved the venue, the OP and other posters are insinuating it is because of, IDK, anticipation of a smaller crowd although we dont know which venue has the highest seating capacity.
