So trump says media will write tomorrow

Enthusiasm was wanting at this rally.

I swear this one seems VERY DIFFERENT than others just can't put my finger on it.

Crowd very lackluster and people behind him seem disinterested.

He is on his fourth round of best economy best unemployment etc. Almost like he sees they are not all wired up.

The people behind trump looked disinterested, not looking at Trump with the same adoration as seen in other rallies

She tweeted that about an hour in, a LOT of people started leaving. Just started walking out in large numbers.

I can no longer watch this piece of crap. He is pitiful, pathetic and I will never call him a president.

paid to be there...wouldn’t somebody have a check stub or some evidence of this? I’m not saying they aren’t being bribed to be there...but it’d be big news if it was revealed for sure that this was happening. I’m curious.

When you return the slip at the end, they pay you.

Cash or check? And the people who left early...do they just not get paid? I don’t mean to sound naive...but I guess I am. I would love it if those people were paid and not actual rabid mouth breathing cultists.

And they have been republican for a long time and did vote for trump. But the ones I have met are pretty phlegmatic and not prone to outbursts. Maybe a German, English thing?

Yelling and hollering makes them feel uncomfortable as they do not like showboating. Just my small experience with them. I could be all wrong.
