Why is Trump drawing such small crowds? (or is he?)

Yep, even in bizarre ways like his pandemic press conferences getting record ratings. Umm…, having to even have press conferences about a disaster you mismanaged and suggesting bleach as a treatment isn’t really a great thing.

And this:

Trump brags that he earned CBS their highest TV ratings since ‘the World Trade Center came down’

President Trump bragged he helped CBS’s Face the Nation news program earn its highest television ratings since the September 11 World Trade Center attacks during an incredible interview with The Associated Press published Sunday evening. Trump called the achievement a “tremendous advantage.”

“It’s interesting,” Trump said. “I have, seem to get very high ratings … You know, Chris Wallace had 9.2 million people, it’s the highest in the history of the show. I have all the ratings for all those morning shows. When I go, they go double, triple. Chris Wallace, look back during the Army-Navy football game, I did his show that morning.”
[my italics]

Didn’t Chris Wallace host Fox News Sunday back then? College football is played on Saturdays.

I get it, but … seeing the analogy that equates MAGA rally attendees with DeadHeads makes my molars ache.

Some of these people have taken to wearing diapers and t-shirts that read “Real Men Wear Diapers.” In a way, Trump reminds me of Paul Muad’dib in that they both had a cult of fantatic followers but neither one had full control over it.

My neighbor is such a fecking loser. I get way, WAY more attention than him. Why I was on the evening news of ALL major networks!
And all I had to do was crash my car into a busload of nuns.
I’m obviously the best on my block!

He told the Libertarian Party they should nominate him if they want to win. For some reason telling Libertarians what to do didn’t work very well.

Libertarians were pissed because trump brought in a gaggle of his MAGAts to sit up front in seats reserved for the Ls at their own convention. Noise makers were confiscated at the door, but it’s too bad they didn’t sneak in some whistles.

OK, thank you. :rofl:

I’m a bit perplexed by the apparent antipathy of the Libertarians toward Donald Trump.

ISTM that they both passionately want it all, but neither wants to pay for it.

:wink:

And librarians don’t ever have to deal with him.

We know he can sit in a truck.

What even is that? I don’t think that’s an AI picture. It looks like an inflatable? Meant to be part of a parade float, or something? Is it meant to be flattering towards Trump, or insulting?

I’m guessing a float for some parade protesting American militarism.
