TULSA (The Borowitz Report)Stung by the paltry turnout at his Saturday-night rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Donald J. Trumps campaign has announced plans to hold his next rally in the bunker beneath the White House.
In announcing the rally, Brad Parscale, the chairman of Trumps reëlection campaign, denied that the choice of venue reflected a tepid level of enthusiasm to see the candidate speak.
The bunker holds forty people, Parscale said. That is a much larger seating capacity than Joe Bidens basement.
Despite the choice of such an intimate venue, however, Trump campaign sources are privately worried that they may have difficulty filling the bunker.
According to one source, Jared Kushner spent all of Sunday morning on the phone begging people to attend the bunker rally.
All of Jareds friends said theyre coming, so thats five seats right there, the source said.

(12,634 posts)They just list their weekly attendance, which is 22,000, but dont know how many services that covers. They also have 2 locations, for ease of confusion.

(53,061 posts)It's not a rally per se
It's an event sponsored by "Students for Trump"
The Church rents the facility out and didn't know it was for a Trump appearance, and doesn't support candidates
