Trump Insists People Leaving His Rally Aren't Really Leaving His Rally

Source: Huff Post

Sep 27, 2024, 06:59 PM EDT


GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump attempted to do crowd control at a Friday rally in Walker, Michigan. Well, he wasn’t trying to control the crowd as much as he was trying to control any messaging about people leaving the event early.

Rally size is something that is important to Trump — so important that he became agitated during a Sept. 10 presidential debate when Democratic rival Kamala Harris bluntly said that “people start leaving his rallies early out of exhaustion and boredom.”

In Walker, Trump attempted to explain why rallygoers seemed to be leaving his event. “The people that you see leaving? Because nobody ever leaves,” the former president said. “And when they do, I finish up quick.”
Trump then suggested that his staffers were to blame for the apparent departures, and claimed that people were actually lining up in the back for photos since he couldn’t pose for pictures earlier.

“These stupid people that are with me sometimes, they say, ‘Come on back,’” Trump said. “Thirty people, they get up and they go back. And they’re all lined up in the back waiting for me to take a picture because I couldn’t do it before.”

When you have to explain, you are losing.

1. I like that it looks like they are trying to slow down the people leaving.

Letting them out one at a time while having security there. While tfg is at the stage trying to embarrass or slow others from leaving.

3. Gaslighting. Don't believe what you see. Especially if Trump tells you that what you see is not the truth.

in a similar way to Kamala Harris where it doesn't seem rehearsed that would be great.

Vance would have to defend it making him look like an idiot or not say anything like most people but it would make Trump angry at him.

Kamala pushed the hot buttons. Keep pushing.
