Trump Supporters Walk Out on MAGA Rally Before it Ends

By the end of [Trump's] one hour and 45-minute speech, many had already left. Photos appeared to show entire sections of the 8,000 seat arena nearly empty, something unheard of for a MAGA event in 2020 and 2016.

"He reminded me why I'm not going to vote for him this time," Jenny, a local business owner, told the outlet. "I voted for him in 2016 and had a Trump flag in the front yard. I voted for him again in 2020 but didn't put the flag out that time."

"But after listening to that, I'm actually afraid of Trump being president again. I don't know what he was talking about half the time. Perhaps he was always like that but he seems worse, more unstable,"

Keep giving those 105 minute, stream of consciousness, Festivus-inspired Klan meetings Donald. That's surely the way to the White House, right?

Just an animated corpse with makeup now. Sad. Elder abuse. Give him his pudding and put him to bed.

Perhaps he was always like that...

I guess some folks are just slower than others. It too her 8 years to figure it out, took me about a week.

I thought republicans enjoyed the "airing of grievances".

@#6 ... I thought republicans enjoyed the "airing of grievances". ...

The people who attend the rallies of fmr Pres trump seem to be the same ones who have attended the rallies in the past.

My guess is that after hearing fmr Pres trump speak at one rally, your have heard him speak at all rallies.

His rambling speeches seem to be just a repeat of his old, oh so old, anger, resentment and desire for revenge. All hoping to extract adulation of the cult leader, fmr Pres Trump, from those who attend the rally.

I guess, after a while, those attending the rally tire of the same old, same old.

The stench from dotard's diaper has the MAGAts reeling.

@#9

I don't know about that aspect.

But fmr Pres Trump does seem to have two issues at his rallies...

1) diminishing number of attendees, i.e. lots of empty seats

2) attendees who choose to become non-attendees before the rally is over

As i have said previously, the trend does not seem to look favorable for fmr Pres Trump.

So, I ask, what is the Trump campaign doing to try to increase the range of voters it appeals to?


Putting a microphone in front of Sen Vance does not, at this point, seem to be working.

Nothing. They seem to be concentrating on "preaching to the choir" and nothing else.

@#11 ... They seem to be concentrating on "preaching to the choir" and nothing else. ...

That's my impression as well.

Taking a step back, fmr Pres trump seems to be overriding his campaign advisors with his determination to ~preach to the choir.~

Much as he would override the guardrails put in place by his advisors, should he regain the Oval Office.

They remind me of "Dead Heads" or Rocky Horror Show Cultist ... only Trumpanzees are really really weird.

Attendees are bored an d even the ones with the slackest of jaws realize they already know the third act by heart: sensescent, old, 300++ pound man-baby with hilarious combover and slathered in Mandarin Orange greasepaint frumps into endless, mumbling narrative consisting of ridiculous self-pitying nonsense. Even the rubes have better things to do.

Don't worry--HBO or Netflix will edit this comedy show down to the two minutes it deserves...

Kind of like going to a rock concert with 80 year old performers. It just isn't the same anymore.

Only the paid supports stayed in order to fulfill their contracts.
