Trump held a campaign-style rally on an airport tarmac in Florida on Friday, but nobody came.
OK, OK. Some people came.
The Hill reports that Trump was greeted by a few dozen supporters when he touched down in Tampa. Of the few dozen attendees, very few wore masks or practiced social distancing, though at least the event was held outdoors.
“If Joe Biden is elected president, the chaos and bloodshed will spread to every community in our land,” Trump warned the crowd, ignoring the fact that the “chaos and bloodshed” currently happening across the nation has all been under his watch.
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.
“There will be no safety, no security, no peace, no justice, no one to protect you and no one to defend the American way of life!” Trump raged.
The speech lasted roughly 30 minutes, during which Trump made hardly any mention of the coronavirus pandemic, which has hit Florida especially hard, with more than 470,000 reported cases, the second-most of any state.
Here’s how people have been reacting on Twitter…
Today, Trump held a rally in Florida & the crowd was nearly empty. They expected 10,000 supporters & less than 200 showed up.
None were wearing masks.

Did he get taken by a group of 14 year olds on TicTok again? Or are his supporters in the hospital?

Whadyamean? He’s as popular as his Oklahoma rally! And just look at the diversity! pic.twitter.com/tk1CLpI7Iw

The rest of the crowd wanted to be there, but they’re dead.

“My visits last week to Texas and Florida had massive numbers of cheering people.”
As with many other terms, Trump doesn’t know the meaning of the word massive.
I know Melania concurs. pic.twitter.com/5GQFXnrV1p— Tom Heffner (@tomheffner_tom) August 3, 2020
The latest Five Thirty Eight poll out of Florida shows Biden leading Trump by 5.9 points.

I think the biggest effect after Trump’s ego is that his supporters who attend will see he’s not as popular as they thought he was and they themselves will question their judgment

Maybe he just forgot to put on deodorant. Stanky old man death smell. Melania, your a saint.

Whores who marry repugnant men for money deserve no pity and are very far from saintly.

Prostitution is one of the oldest trades in the book. And let’s face it weather she realises it or not that is what she is. Marrying a vile old swine for money.

I have a suggestion for the Trump Campaign. Have Trump at one of the COVID Testing sites, there’s a captive crowd at least. And then they can show pictures of the long line of cars and people and can claim they all came to see Dumper Fire himself. [Of course the campaign can’t TELL him it’s a COVID test site, but it’s just of crowd of people waiting to meet him].
Trump can do some photo ops of him tossing out PPE to Nurses and Doctors [if they even bother to show up for him].
Lastly have Jared K and Steve Bannon there, bill them as the Before COVID and After COVID. That’ll get people to wear the f*cking masks.

Of all the political and history books in the making and on shelves, YOUR’S, I would buy! It doesn’t and shouldn’t be 10,000 pages long – 30 will do just fine. Seriously, think about it!

Trump and his KKKult are losers!!!
