No Matter . . .


. . . how you slice it  ['TikTok Teens', Corona Virus, "how our rallies work" or Heat and Humidity], it WAS as well-deserved EMBARRASSMENT. . .

". . . On Sunday, following a lower-than-expected turnout at Trump’s Tulsa rally, TikTok teens, young adults and K-pop stans (fans of Korean hip-hop and pop music) celebrated their efforts to troll the president. . . young people told NBC News they felt satisfied after seeing the modest crowd size. . . Trump and some of his high-profile supporters had bragged in the days before the rally that more than 1 million people had signed up to attend. Trump Campaign Manager Brad Parscale tweeted on June 14 that . . . more than 800,000 people had signed up for tickets at the 19,000-seat Bank of Oklahoma Center. . . Approximately 6,200 people attended the rally on Saturday, according to the Tulsa Fire Department. . . Parscale downplayed the impact of the online campaign in a statement Sunday. . . “Leftists and online trolls doing a victory lap, thinking they somehow impacted rally attendance, don’t know what they’re talking about or how our rallies work. Reporters who wrote gleefully about TikTok and K-Pop fans — without contacting the campaign for comment — behaved unprofessionally and were willing dupes to the charade,” Parscale said.. . . ". . . "


P.S. Why bother to 'contact the campaign for comment' when it (and current White House 'occupant') has previously offered so many untruths?
