'Zero attendees in the upper bowl': Trump mocked for 'half empty' swing state speech
23 June 2024
Donald Trump on Saturday held a speech in Pennsylvania, but some liberals and conservatives alike are suggesting the crowd could have been larger.
Trump, who during his speech in Philadelphia had several verbal "misfires" that caused social media users to question the former president's mental acuity, has in the past heavily emphasized the numbers at his politically charged rallies as an indication of popularity.
Trump has also been accused of inflating his numbers when it comes to his controversial speeches.
Tennessee Democratic election commissioner Chris D. Jackson, who previously floated evidence that Trump rally attendees were being paid for attendance in Nevada, posted a video making the allegation that the event had empty seats.
"Look at all those empty seats in Philadelphia," Jackson said. "Old man can't even fill a high school gym fill anymore. Sad."
@sandibachom replied, "He hasn’t done hardly any indoor venues because he still owes $500,000 each the venues he didn’t pay as far back as 2019 so he’s been doing them in fields next to firehouses and beaches that are free. It’s a lot easier to hide small crowd in those venues but this you can see it’s brutal."
Conservative Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein also chimed in:
