Top Trump officials fear Trump's July 4 celebration of himself will be a repeat of his inauguration crowd disaster.
The tanks are in place; the fighter jets are ready to fly; the fireworks are ready for deployment; and your taxpayer dollars have been spent for Trump's egotistical July 4 "salute" to himself at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
All the wildly inappropriate political event lacks is ... people wanting to attend.
Politico reported on Wednesday that top officials at both the White House and Republican National Committee are freaking out that no one is going to show up to Trump's speech on Thursday.
In fact, they worry that the paltry crowd size at the event will be reminiscent of Trump's disastrous Inauguration Day attendance which angered Trump so much that he demanded then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer to lie to the public about the size of the crowd gathered to watch Trump be sworn in.

The assholes go into a building to get 10 tickets and his staff enter a building for a lottery for the 10 tickets.......................so that the orange asshole, and his staff can rig the attendance count, and say instead of 1 person showing up there is one person that is counted and being counted as ten.................... ...................... must be a trump University or Wharton Business school thing...................

NASCAR from low attendance has been painting seats bright colors and off set. Long views on television make big sections of empty seats not empty.
Of course trumps probably flying russians in.

(15,805 posts)showed up. Poor lil Trumpy, he spared no expense to put on the biggest shindig in human history () and he even got other folks to pay for his ego buffing soire.
The pictures of his deserted VIP area won't lie, but he'll tell us the seating was maxed out and thousands of hopeful guests were waiting in long lines to see him.
Crickets will be heard on the National Mall.
