Now we know: Trump’s Waco TX “rally” was a big nothing

Here are the highlights from Trump’s Waco TX rally:  Trump lied, Ted Nugent lied, the audience lied, guest speakers were the usual assortment of nobodies.

UPDATE 2 –Sunday, March 26, 2:40 PM EDST

The “crowd” at Trump’s Waco rally started leaving 30 minutes into the rally.

According to the Tribune-Herald’s Mike Copeland, “Trump arrived shortly before 6 p.m., his plane circling the airport as attendees intently looked to the heavens. He wrapped up at 7:32 in the evening, though quite a few fans did not last that long.”

“About 30 minutes into the rally, the crowd began to thin, with people getting a head start on the walk back to the parking lots, designated and otherwise,” he wrote.

 

UPDATE — Sunday, March 26, 8:10 AM EDST

Trump’s campaign claimed they expected 50,000.  City of Waco was prepared for 15,000.  Police and reporters estimated the crowd at 2,000 – 3,000.  Trump is and has always been nothing but a sideshow barker — and now his “show” is old, stale, and only a few goobers are still hanging on.

Now for the details . . . if you can stand the details.

Trump was introduced by Ted “I shit in my pants to avoid the draft” Nugent.

Then an audience member claimed to have been a Marine but could not recall dates of his service, where he served, or what he did in the Corps.  Typical MAGAt.

Then Trump claimed “No one laughed at the US when I was President.”

I guess he forgot about this.

And then Trump lied about Ron DeSantis.

Trump also said Florida Governor Ron DeSantis “came to me with tears in his eyes begging him for an endorsement,” . . .

The guest speakers at the rally were all the usual bullshit artists:  Marjorie Taylor Greene; Mike Lindell; Matt Gaetz; some guy from Texas; a bible-thumping preacher; no one of any consequence.

So, as you see, Trump’s first rally of his Presidential campaign was his lies and everyone’s bullshit.
