He's awfully proud of that fake award that doesn't exist.

when Trump starts playing his greatest hits, which is all he ever does. It must get pretty old after a while, even for his fans.

It sucks to get caught in the bottleneck trying to get out out of the parking lot, you know!

Leave early: problem solved.

Nothing he was going to say was any different from the last rally, which they can probably view online somewhere.

But then again, thinking they'd "know better..." The MAGA crowd has never demonstrated that capability.

This is according to Meidas Touch, a pro-Democratic anti-tRump/MAGA site that covered this rally.

It may be the crowd wasn't big enough to provide critical mass, even though it was compacted into a small gymnasium. Of course followers of authoritarian leaders want to be part of YUGE crowds that demonstrate their leader's power.
