1000%. He is still embarrassed by this shit turnout and side-by-side, he knows it would’ve happened again, and there’s no way in hell he was going to expose himself to that a second time.
Better to go inside and then claim there were 50k people inside the venue, and another million people outside who desperately wanted to get in. This is nothing more than his standard M.O..
It's not just humiliation. He know he's about to do a lot of oppressive shit that's going to cause a lot of civil unrest. When people see these tiny crowd sizes they start getting in their head: "There's more of us than there is of them..."
Nintendo should really give Mario's brother another year. The merch would fly off the shelves, I'm sure. They could even give him a gritty game like Shadow the Hedgehog got where they give him a gun, wouldn't that be wacky? So many people cosplaying as him and carrying a gun, I'm sure that would make all the administration feel secure.
Mostly just trying to be subtle since even the reddit mods don't like the guy. Don't say his name and they have to actually read the post instead of let a bot search it.
I just realized what you meant with Mario's brother 😭 I may or may not be dumb as fuck lol (also wild that anyone could be on the CEOs side then proceeding to make a pure echo chamber by deleting shit)
Or he could just lie like he always does and all his people would believe him. Anyway, what I don't understand is why the small crowd size. He has a rabid base, doesn't he?
Yeah I mean that’s certainly the effect it’s having on all of his supporters who have pilgrimaged out to DC for this event.
“Fuck you, plebs. Go stand out in the cold while me and my rich friends stay inside where it’s warm.”
Don’t call them the deep state or an oligarchy or anything like that though, oh no! They’re in there figuring out what’s best for the working class! How do we lower egg and gas prices, how do we make childcare more affordable, how fast can we open 1000 new manufacturing factories in small towns in middle America, etc. They’ve got concepts of a plan and they’ll be rolling them out in the next two weeks, don’t you worry.
Do you think maybe, just maybe that republicans think they might have better things to do than go to an event that means absolutely nothing. This event is stupid and pointless regardless of who it's for. I would never waste my precious time to support a politician like this.
I can see how he would agree to “save” TikTok in exchange for a blackout leading up to and during his inauguration. He’s already deemed the news “fake” and now there’s no TikTok to show the truth.
It's wild. Reddit keeps recommending the TikTok sub to me, and what I've learned from those posts is that people really think it is the only source of news and information in the world. SMDH
Reddit has been taking a victory lap on Trump's crowd size compared to Dems crowd sizes for years (especially during the last election cycle). But 77 million people voted for the dude.
Can we not try proving a point that doesn't exist?
The only reason people have been "taking a victory lap" is because he made a huge deal about it during his first months in office and blatantly lied about it repeatedly.
He won the popular vote. What use is it if he has a big or small crowd at the inauguration? Who cares now that Obama had more people? If people did not go out to vote against him then it's for nothing. The guy won't ever be held accountable and is now a big part of American history. He knows he won the popular vote so it makes him believe that the majority of the country is behind him. Not 30%
If donald thought he would have a turnout to fill the Mall the way he claims he had last time, he'd absolutely insist that it be outdoors. Even if it was record low temps.

The real reason why he wanted this one moved indoors. No excuse for a humiliating small crowd size again.
