Maybe he should just shout insults from his bunker on zoom and not risk the humiliation.

(32,047 posts)Yes, he will have another one, just to prove that the one in Tulsa was rigged or sabotaged somehow, even if they have to hire paid actors to fill an arena somewhere.

(34,661 posts)check the Stadium Schedule. Believe Anshutz Entertainment runs that one. BTW,Trump has only used Venues run by Anshutz. In kind Campaign Donations.
Same for the BOK in Tulsa.

(32,086 posts)Trump, being a sociopath, only cares about Trump. And, their governor has his head so far up Trump's ass, he's cuddling with Lindsey Graham. If Trump wants his rally Ducey's going to give it to him. He IS lucky he has the COVID excuse to back out of it, however. I am just not fully convinced that his ego will allow him to take advantage of it. On top of being a sociopath and a narcissist, he's just plain stupid.

(32,017 posts)The real reason for the cancellation will be to avoid another embarrassment like Tulsa (or, so I predict).

(32,086 posts)I can't help but think that his ego is going to get the best of him, and that he's going to find a way to prove that, in Tulsa, he was just a victim of big, mean Brad Parscale, and of sabotage by horrible liberal anarchist teenagers on tik tok. A rally in Phoenix gives him that opportunity, and he has already proved with the Tulsa rally that he doesn't give a shit about the attendees getting COVID.

(32,017 posts)He might hold the rally, regardless, but the event is supposed to be for students. Can he get 3,000 students to come to a mega church in Phoenix?

GoCubsGo
(32,086 posts)He might not get 'em all from the Phoenix area, but I'm willing to bet there are a bunch of students who are willing to drive in from other parts of Arizona, and from neighboring states to see Dear Leader. And, if he couldn't, he could easily fill in the seats with. non-students.

They might want it cancelled in private, but claim censorship publicly.

Laelth
(32,017 posts)But because the Phoenix Mega-Church only holds 3,000 people, Trump may think he can fill it and proceed with the rally as planned. I doubt that either the Mayor of Phoenix or the Governor of Arizona would stand in the way of the rally going forward at this point. Well see.

They have YUGE plans for a physical convention. A week of rallies, speaches, and entertainment. They apparently have some big name high school bands lined up.
It will the biggest, the bestiest, rally since hitler did nuremburg in '39. Or maybe they just got the year wrong?

(14,825 posts)Schools throughout the south are set to reopen in the fall with no precautions. Florida specifically.
So yeah, parents would let their kids go I fear. And probably escort them as well.
I was actually joking though. At his inaugural events they used free bands like high schools and colleges extensively because they were too cheap to pay real bands. A lot of real also just said no thanks.
So they ended up with a lot of free music nobody really cared about. And siphoned off the 100 million dollars into their own pockets.

(82,849 posts)Trump's addicted to his rallies every bit as much as a alcoholic is to alcohol. The ferocious hangovers, the blank spaces of what-all happened last night, and all the rest don't mean a thing when the time comes for more drinking. The empty venues, the online mockery, and the horrible optics mean nothing when Trump needs another rally hit.
The campaign team has to be dreading the next dictum from on high that he wants to go to Michigan or West Virginia or Arizona for another rally.

But youve got me thinking here, HEY NOW, one of bunkerbois greatest pleasures has rudely been snatched from his bitty hands, eh?? He can no longer look forward to the thrill of his minions loving on him when he now knows theres a good chance hell be standing in the arena somewhat...alone
The top trending topics on twitter have been Everybodys Laughing At You, Empty Seats, Trump Rally Fail, tiktokteens, Coronapalooza, Freds Failure, K-pop, Tulsa Flop, Brad,
Etc etc
The thing about tweets trending is that, you know, the only thing LOSER45 actually READS is tweets...so he has to stew in his own rancid juices hour after hour and yeah, I have no problem with that!!

Of course if he rallies in Northern Idaho theres a chance that George Soros-funded brown bears allied with ANTIFA might try to disrupt the gathering.

Voice of America to become Voice of Trump
Trump appoints right-winger to Congress-funded broadcaster whose views may not resonate with related outlets' 117 million audience in Asia
by David Hutt June 18, 2020
Two senior executives at the US Congress-funded Voice of America resigned this week after a controversial ally of US President Donald Trump was confirmed as the new chief executive of the agency that oversees the media outlet, as well as Radio Free Asia and Voice of Europe.
In another instance of Trump appointing a political loyalist for a nonpolitical job, the conservative activist and filmmaker Michael Pack was confirmed last week as the new head of the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM), an agency independent of the US government responsible for taxpayer-funded news outlets.
This came after a partisan-split vote in the US Senate, almost three years after his name was first put forward by Trump.
Pack is reportedly also a close ally of Steve Bannon, Trumps former campaign strategist and White House adviser, with whom he has made two documentaries. He was also the previous head of the Claremont Institute, a conservative think tank with close connections to the Trump movement.
