How Trump plans to "hold rallies".

[no_hypocrisy]

He's not appearing exclusively. He's a "special feature" at Mike Lindell's 4-1/2 hour rally this month, along with 8 other speakers.

And Trump doesn't have to shell out the money for travel, escorts, police protection, private protection, meals, water, etc. Because he's not going to appear in person. He'll be on a Jumbo-Tron. That's right a ZOOM experience.

Trust me, it won't be the same.

1. He feeds off the energy of the adoring crowds-- without them he will just...

shrivel and pass out at the mike.

nd good riddance forever.

2. I suspect he's so infirm at this point

They're withholding him from actually being seen in person. It must really be bad, considering how very unhinged his previous rallies were.

3. I can't imagine the former guy not appearing in person if he was capable. It's either

health or the money situation is just not doable. There are plenty of wealthy people that could stake him on a tour, and probably would if there was any upside.

4. He also doesn't want to risk embarrassment.

He doesn't have social media to advertise his rallies anymore. His bullhorn is gone. He doesn't have the power of the presidency to help draw people. Imagine the embarrassment if he held a rally at an arena that holds 15,000...and only 2,000 people show.

5. Be a shame if someone hacked the video feed.

And Mickey Mouse or a good porn clip showed up on the screen.

7. Better: alter the video to have him confessing the Big Lie and

calling his followers a bunch of idiots.

6. That moron, Lindell, has one of those things scheduled

in Wisconsin. There was an almost unreadable quarter-page ad for it in this morning's paper. Here's the thing, though: It's not scheduled here in the Twin Cities of MN. Instead, it's in a small town across the border in Wisconsin, at some "concert venue." I've been to that town, and the venue maybe holds 4-500 people, max.

Pillow Mike will be there, but Trump will just be a video presence. Mike Lindell's photo is most of the ad. Trump is in a box in the ad.

This will not work for either person. Nope.

8. So basically, he's staying in his "basement" from now on..... SAD.... nt

9. oh gawd i may even watch that mess myself. Good for a laugh!

[tinrobot]

10. I wonder if he will appear live or if the video will be canned.

I suspect the latter.

He probably is too batsh*t at this point to risk being seen live.

11. Not true...

Yes, he's appearing online at Lindell's rally, but he's planning live, in-person rallies himself, starting this summer.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. He's really doing jumbotron appearances?

What the heck? That seems very un Trump like. There has to be a reason for this. As someone else stated, maybe he's not physically well.

13. If it's a "virtual" appearance, I doubt his audience will be huge

They want him in person -- not on a screen. But then again, maybe I'm wrong? It does happen from time to time.

14. All of Trump's cash on hand is used for lawyers.
