Attendance at Trump's Michigan rally fell far short of expectations

[Kaleva]

It was projected that about 30,000 would attend the rally:

"Approximately 5,000 people are expected to pack the building where Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Saturday. The indoor attendance limit was set by the Washington Township fire marshal, Total Sports officials said.

For those who don’t arrive early enough to get inside, a giant video monitor is expected to be set up on the 60 acres of soccer fields where the rest of the huge crowd can watch and listen. Rally attendance outside the building is projected to reach 25,000."

According to this article, there were approx. 10,500 in attendance:

"Approximately 5,500 people were inside the new 118,000-square-foot sports building when Washington Township Fire officials cut off further entry, leaving an estimated 5,000 people outside to watch the rally on a giant television monitor."

1. EVERYTHING about Trump his entire life is a series of falling short of expectations

Even when the bar is set to zero.
With one exception unfortunately.

The ratfucker rode a perfect, multivariate storm of shitbaggery and barbarous, overt treason to the POTUS.

He needs to be clapped in irons someday, charged with the above-mentioned treason and global racketeering, duly convicted after a fair trial, and tossed in a Super Max for life.

His kids and Jared too. Lock em ALL away in a deep dark concrete and steel hole.

2. I saw Trump mention thousands who were turned away.

I guess the secret is to book a small venue so you can brag about the overflow crowd.

3. Still too many. Maybe half were there to watch him

make a fool of himself (I hope).

4. Personally I can't stand watching him for two seconds. You couldn't pay me to go see him.

6. Same here. All he does is brag and whine. I can't stand the

the timbre of his voice either.

5. So the republicans LIED to Americans about this again

They need to shut their lying yaps - if they can't even tell the truth about something as inconsequential as this. Sick and sad.

7. thought it might

...that's far short of projections.

Sad.

8. I'm surprised he could attract as many as he did....

must not be much to do around that area. I would rather stay home and watch a lousy rerun on tv than go out and listen to that ignorant ugly idiot spew out all his lies and threaten to shut down the country. I have to wonder how many of those people are bussed in.

10. 1/3 the expected turnout shows Trump's appeal in Michigan has worn thin

9. What kind of non lives do the 10,500 lead to spend Saturday night with Don?

I can't imagine wasting an evening on that fat, orange, bloviating, hate monger.
