Trump should quit badmouthing the workers behind the scene. He's asking for sabotage.

It's a labor union. From their website:

As the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE), we are 170,000+ behind the scenes entertainment workers strong, working in live events, motion picture and television production, broadcast, trade shows, and more throughout the US and Canada.

We stand together to provide strong representation and win better wages, training, benefits and overall working conditions.

And the dickhead boss told him or her that day they had to work, completely screwing up long standing plans.

Give the stage microphone a theatrical handjob & blowjob to entertain the MAGA Meat-head crowd.

Fuck the "Family Values" bullshit,... tough guys feed their perversions rather than deny them like sissies.

trDUMPee goes pervy to prove his bona fides to be the 47th president.

The people there can see all the empty seats. So is he trying to brainwash them into believing thst their eyes are lying to them ?

I believe this is what every camera man should have been doing all along. At both his and Kamala's rally.

And why don't those people walk out of there no longer believing the news is fake when THEY SEE HE'S THE FAKE?

I don't know who is selecting the music for TFGs campaign but he is either completely clueless or absolutely brilliant and very much rogue. I'm leaning toward the latter.
