A 17-year-old gay teen known only as Noah started a campaign to help keep Trump’s public rallies empty: Noah encourages people to reserve rally seats via Trump’s website and then not show up. This keeps Trump’s actual supporters waiting outside and leaves Trump speaking to arenas full of empty seats — double score!

In an August 10, 2019 tweet, Noah wrote, “Hey everyone, you totally shouldn’t go on tr*mp’s website and reserve tickets for his rally and not show up so that there’s empty seats (the tickets are free) but you should definitely not do that!!!”
His tweet got over 40,000 retweets, but he didn’t expect anyone to take his idea seriously. But then, according to Out magazine:
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to reports, “thousands of Trump supporters were locked out of the (August 15) SNHU Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire” for a reelection rally, even though there were many empty seats inside. Thousands of empty seats, according to tweets from the event. It got so bad that #EmptySeatMAGATour started trending on Twitter.
Noah reposted headlines and tweets about the empty seats:

Noah told Out:
“I really didn’t know if it would work or not, but according to articles I saw, there were all these empty seats, but they weren’t letting anyone in. My only logical conclusion is that it’s because of this, that since we had all these reserved seats, they couldn’t let people without a ticket in, even if they were true fans.
Even when it was blowing up, I didn’t think it would happen…..
I post political stuff on Twitter sometimes, and it’s sort of serious, sort of joking. Because Trump sucks and I just want people to be happy and laughing. I get really sad about Trump being president all the time, so I wanted to post something for people to find something funny in a sh*tty situation.”
Out also mentioned that people are reserving tickets using aliases like Peepee Poopoo, Mike Litoris and Ben Dova. Nice.
We’re not telling people to follow Noah’s lead, but, like…

Clearly what this kid did was brilliant and effective. But what strikes me as inconceivable to believe is how gay publications don’t see that their giving away his strategy will make the organizers of those rallies give away the tickets to those waiting in line after a new timeline that sure to come gets put in place. They will probably now say if you are not there within fifteen minutes before the start of the rally to be seated you forfeit your ticket and the ticket will be given to those in line.

Exactly

Trumpies are pretty dumb, but even they would figure out how to work around that. This was always a limited prank.
Bryguyf69
Well, sort of… While it’s true that future attempts won’t be as effective, you’re forgetting that many of his supporters simply won’t show up if they couldn’t get a ticket or reservation. That means there’ll be fewer people waiting in line. Regardless, this frustrates Trump supporters and that’s always a good thing. And all it takes is a few clicks on your phone or computer.

Clearly what this kid did was brilliant and ef….- Nothing to add But i am here not only to discuss this article but I would like to share with you new but absolutelly brilliant website for gay singles only.

I love how you think one side is better than the other when it comes to ‘childish antics’. One only has to look at meltdown boy to see the truth: The right sucks just as bad.

Just make sure you and your friends register to vote and then go VOTE! We have to get rid of this guy one way or another A second BLUE wave has to roll across the land.

And to vote BLUE – NO MATTER WHO!

BLUE all the way. lets make a statement, for our country, Lets stop this trashy family and party dead in their tracks. get out and VOTE
Jenniferp412
There is no blue wave coming! Trump will win in 2020. Nobody with a good job and good insurance wants to be put on Medicare only to find the good doctors will not accept it. Medicare for all will just divide the rich from the poor and make lots of more poor people.
michaelf7466
Shows a stunning lack of imagination and knowledge. You don’t even know what Medicare for All would look like. Maybe read instead of regurgitating sound bites. The problem with so many. If we enact Medicare for All, that will not be an issue at all. It’s the presence of private insurance and our lack of fully implementing universal healthcare that leads to that problem. Smarten up so you’re not voting against your interests!
ShiningSex
You sound like an idiot. If you think Trump deserves to win then you’re self hating, racist fool.
msc1208
WTF are you talking about? How is giving poor people heath care when they have none now going to make them poorer? This is all the Republicans fault anyway. Richard Nixon signed into law the legislation needed to make Health care a for profit business. That is the most Unchristian thing that this nation has ever endured. All corruption (and wars) are started by people who claim its in the name of God. In other words by self-proclaimed Christians who have deluded themselves into thinking that Christ’s teachings are the opposite of what they should stand for and support. That’s why Satan is in office now.
Christopher
Jennifer, it’s amazing that people like you support a liar, misogynist and the worst business man in American history. My only answer is that you are clueless about politics and working Americans trying to make ends meet. It’s not about insurance it’s about how this idiot is making America look to our Allies. He also doesn’t know how to negotiate things that really matter. All he does is pat himself on the back for things that make all Americans look like fools. He is doing everything that Hitler did when he first came into power. Are you also a Racist and a biggot? Well he is. WAKE UP!

Jenniferp412 what kind of stupid are you? Vote blue, or we might not have a country of the free. but will be un eltrumpo and his Gus topo. They have not come up with an insurance plane yet. they have not done anything they said they were going to do. time after time this despicable liar has talked, the more lies he has told., the more he lies. and if you support that activity. you are as bad as he is!
Babakazoo
Seriously??? Australia, New Zealand, England and several other countries have had Medicare for all for decades and and it works extremely well, it benefits those who need it the most, the low income earners and the elderly. So you would rather live in a country with a medical system that says the elderly and low income earners should suffer and die from illness and injury because they can’t afford health insurance?

IF THE FOOLS SUPPORTERS LIKE YOU WOULD TAKE YOUR TONGUES OUT OF HIS BEHIND, YOU’LL SEE HIM FOR THE LYING CHILDISH DERRIERE ORIFICE THAT HE IS.
JanDivine
I am not a Trump supporter. But we can’t be naive, he may very well win. We live in our own bubble and ignore the other bubbles. And those bubbles are huge. Right now, I think he will win, George Bush Jr. did.

You don’t seem to have a clue about “Medicare for all” or the healthcare system. First, Medicare for ALL means exactly what it says. EVERYONE will be on Medicare, and private insurance will eventually be gone. As such, your pessimistic scenario will never exist. Since private insurance will no longer exist, if “good doctors” won’t accept Medicare then their only payment will come out-of-pocket. And how many patients will be willing to pay out-of-pocket, huh? Virtually none, and they’ll go out of business. So they have no choice but to accept Medicare. THINK about it.
In case you’re predicting that doctors will quit in droves, look at countries that have such a system — most notably, the Scandinavian countries. Their healthcare is among the best in that world. Indeed, their HEALTH is among the best as well. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland are perpetually on the Top 10 of the annual Happiness Report, usually dominating the Top 5. Indeed, all of the Top 10 countries have some form of socialized medicine. Healthcare is one of the main criteria in this report. My girlfriend went to medical school in Sweden and she said doctors like the system, and there is no shortage.
Google “Happiness report” and educate yourself.

Oh? Have you not learned from the midterms? Or do it facts and evidence matter to you? Guess what — things have gotten worse for Trump since the midterms, and a recession is almost inevitable (read up on financial cycles). So what exactly will prop up Trump, who is the least popular American president in history. The only one who has never broken 50%. In other words, the only one who has ALWAYS been disapproved by the MAJORITY of people. So with a tanking economy, why would people still vote for him? His charming personality? LOL
rray63
Now if a young man did this and it actually had the effect of Trump in an empty venue, don’t you think the MSM would be all over it?
michaelf7466
Oh really? Where would they include it? The illegitimate President lies and engages in so much idiocy every day, there’s so many things that come ahead of this. And why cover his xenophobic, hateful rallies at all? Rinse, repeat.
MichaelC.Oliveira
The events are private and the campaign decides what press to admit. They tightened how the press covered Trump events after a kid was caught rolling his eyes at Trump’s remarks.
menuga
No, not at all.
They’d photoshop people innif they had too.
And after all, he has the largest creditor was ever. And his base is just stupid enough to
Believe that’s why they were left outside.
michaelf7466
Dude, shut up. In what ways is “The Left” petty because of one teen’s actions? Such a silly comment. At least he’s trying to be disruptive to the fascism of this President and his anti-American rallies. What the hell are you doing other than criticizing others and not even doing that well?!
RandomGuy
So many Ruskies and Repobots online these days it’s almost as if they’re worried or something.

when they mention MSM- that’s them, I had a different person come after me saying that from the one above….I think they mean MSNBC

ANYONE THAT SUPPORTS TRUMP ARE JUST RACIST, SELF-LOATHING IDIOTS. END OF DISCUSSION.

Perfect way to piss off and embolden his supporters.

Hi, Log Cabin troll.
tjack47
He seems a bright young man. I think it’s funny. It may not be if it happens to Democratic candidates for President. I hope it’s forgotten in our short attention span world.
Bryguyf69
Well, the impact would be much less on a Democratic candidate. Or even any other Republican candidate. That’s because only egomaniacal Trump is so heavily invested in crowd size.

What’s the webiste?
ElPillo
There is an army of trolls who descend on these discussions to generate more hatred, animosity, internal
Division, and the end of real political discourse. I’m beginning to hate the web because it’s being manipulated by external forces to create this level of separation. Encourage people privately and stop using public forums.
dhmonarch89
So- how long will it take Trump to send the Department of Justice after Noah? You know the whiny little bitch can’t stand being bested, he will seek revenge.

Ridiculous. There are greater causes to put your energy towards that actually have a much more powerful positive benefit. It was a teenager, so you can’t expect much.
LongIslandGayPhotos
A tactic that could easily boomerang! What’s to stop Republican’s from doing the same to Democratic events, never mind Russian bots mentioned by others.
amicusets
Trump is the most gay-friendly POTUS to ever be elected. He was for marriage equality LONG before our previous President, HRC, or anyone currently running for the office…
I will never understand how gay people completely ignore the Democrats catering to Islamists– the very people who REALLY, TRULY, DEEPLY want to see us dead.
