.
Photos and videos showed an underwhelming crowd and plenty of empty space on the National Mall as Trump supporters gathered there.
One reporter captioned a video on Twitter by saying the rally so far doesnt live up to its name.
Another reporter with The Hill tallied the number of attendees at 150 people a pretty disappointing turnout for an event that organizers claimed would be the Woodstock of rallies for Trump supporters.

(45,022 posts)It seems most Trump supporters are pretty ashamed to show their faces.
Donald must be a big fat disappointment to them.

(10,749 posts)I'm not entirely sure the word crowd applies, even when qualified by the word underwhelming. May be a gaggle? A rag tag gaggle? There is more people than that at my local grocery store checkout on average Saturday.

Two other groups did show up but this "protest" literally got into their truck and left. Turns out two tires had been slashed.

(7,539 posts)They had plenty of space! No crowding!
They managed to keep the overtly obvious Nazi/white supremacy people out. This is how a rally should look (only with more people for complete success.)
No torches! Check.
Didn't see weapons. Check-plus.
No confederate nor nazi flags. Only Trump! Check plus plus.
Constructive criticism: They should have installed some carnival rides to draw people in.
That's how you do it. Good for them for throwing a wholesome, non-violent, family-friendly rally for a couple thousand people. Look at them grooving down with their American flags. What fun.

(27,742 posts)These are fascist assholes that are responsible for mayhem in Berkely and Portland on a regular basis.
There is no interest in them in DC, this event was totally ignored by everybody.
forgotmylogin
(7,539 posts)But good then it was completely ignored. The sparse square acreage and lack of people mean the fringe didn't make an impression.
That's how I like my alt-right. Ignored.

(27,742 posts)Peace love and motherhood rallies and then recruit anybody that might show up to join the proud boys.
Antifa was there but the whole thing was a joke.

(16,296 posts)Ignore that black guy on the podium - he was just one of many in the admiring crowd who jumped on stage to sing Trump's praises.
IronLionZion
(45,559 posts)because the Juggalos had a protest at the same time and there is a latin festival parade nearby today also. Trump would lose badly if they have to fight with Juggalos and Latinos. I'm sure a few of the Trumpsters would feel threatened by the existence of brown people in our nation's capital.

Isn't the okay sign, when used by the alt-right, a white power hand sign?
