Mildly Disappointed
Jun. 21st, 2020 11:32 amOn Saturday, President Trump held a re-election rally in Tulsa Oklahoma. The place was half-empty and there was no crowd outside. Allegedly, groups of teens on Tik-Tok and fans of K-Pop hacked the event by reserving large numbers of seats they had no intention or in many cases ability to fill. I am mildly disappointed at this.
Again, given the lack of people standing around outside in the specially-prepared outside overflow area, I am reasonably certain that nobody who actually wanted a seat was denied one. My disappointment is that these kids have provided a ready-made excuse to the Trump campaign about why the event was a flop. Now, to be fair, Trump never fails - he is only failed - so his people would find some excuse for any poor showing. My disappointment is only that I will be denied the minor amusement of watching the campaign do it's imitation of Jon Lovitz's pathological liar when coming up with a reason for the failure.
Like I said, it's a mild disappointment.
