Want to protest a Trump appearance, without having to be there? Do this!

Two days from now, January 27, 2026, the Dumpster is planning to make an appearance in the Des Moines suburb of Clive, Iowa. You can do what I did: register for a “ticket” with no intention of attending, a la the infamous Tulsa rally. (MAYBE - I just checked the link, and it was dead. Never hurts to try, anyway.)

There will be other opportunities to do this, both for him, and for other people as well.

They will tell the truth about the registration, then lie about the actual attendance…just like they have done before.

“It was the bigliest group in the history of Clive!”

During the 2024 campaign, he spoke at an auditorium here that has a capacity of about 2,500, and while it WAS full, he kept claiming that 3,500 were in attendance.

And that adds your email and contact details to their databases.

True, but maybe we could crash some servers in the meantime.

Silly me, should have thought of this first - nothing to stop enough people creating new gmail identities just for this

It seems to require Facebook, and the only FB account I occasionally look at is that of my deceased dog… I can probably risk a bit of spam.

Of course, my dog, being South African, and, well, a dead dog, I suspect that account may confound their targeted marketing strategies.

I therefore signed up, as a fuck you to the Trump machine. Tiny, tiny protest, but another grain of sand in the wheels.

Darn, says it’s “no longer available”

One should have at least one (or more) “throw way” email addresses, just for this reason.
