Trump’s Tulsa Rally Flop | The Daily Social Distancing Show

as the coronal lockdowns have stretched into a month for can you believe it month for many people in America cannot wait to get back to work and there's one American who can't wait to get away from work which is why after weeks of buildup Donald Juneteenth Trump held a campaign rally in Tulsa Oklahoma his first rally since the coronavirus shutdowns but like most of trump's sentences it didn't exactly go as planned this morning sources close to the White House say President Trump is furious that his much-hyped campaign reboot went bust his Saturday night rally in Tulsa Oklahoma drawing a much smaller than expected crowd the president had boasted that a million people requested tickets and he promised to fill the 19 thousand seat arena but the Tulsa fire marshal tells NBC News that 6,200 people showed up leaving rows of empty seats outside the vok Center these workers took down the overflow stage early the president had planned to address the crowd there but no crowd materialized Trump for somebody who was born into wealth and never suffered a single consequence for his actions this dude just cannot catch a break because nothing is more humiliating then when you throw a party and most of the guests don't show up I still remember when that happened for my 12th birthday oh really all of your grandma's died on the same weekend very unlikely so why was turnout for Trump's rally so low well the Trump administration claims it's because protesters blocked the entrance which like most things the Trump campaign says is not true the most likely explanation for all of those empty seats in that arena is that as much as some people love Trump they also love not dying from coronavirus oh and there's another thing that might have thrown off Trump's numbers at the arena and it has to do with kpop it turns out the Trump campaign might have been trolled by teenagers tik-tok users and Korean pop me like fans before the Tulsa rally these tech-savvy groups mobilized to reserve tickets for an event that they had no intention of attending oh my god Trump's rally and I'm so excited to not go well it's unlikely they were solely responsible for this low turnout their antics may have inflated the campaign's expectations for attendance numbers clearly not everybody showed up in in Tulsa maybe people heard the huge numbers and said they didn't want to go through the hassle of the crowds goddamn that is hilarious getting foiled by a bunch of meddling kids I mean that means Trump is basically a scooby-doo villain now although at least scooby-doo villains wear masks and I'm proud of these teams I mean think about it in 2020 tick tock went from being an app where you learn dances to hey guys this is how we abolish the police and take down the presidents now Trump was reportedly really unhappy when he looked out and saw the empty seats but you know what the people who were there were pumped up to see their guy again because remember a week ago when Trump used two hands to take a sip of water well just look at how excited this crowd was when he managed to drink a glass of water with only one they said you couldn't lift your hand up to your mouth with water I was speaking for a long time I didn't want to drink it but I wanted to wet my lips a little bit you have a little glass of water where the hell did this water come from where did it come from [Applause] I'm proud to live in the country where the president can drink water with just one hand sometimes it feels like the longer the trump presidency goes the more confusing it's gonna be for kids studying American history in the future so Lincoln was hailed for freeing the slaves and Kennedy was lauded for putting a man on the moon and Trump got cheers for drinking water did they mean inventing water is this textbook right now there is a lot going on in the country that President Trump could have talked about Israeli could have talked about black lives matter the corona virus pandemic but the topic that he devoted the most time to nine full minutes in fact was how people made fun of the way he walked down a ramp last week last week they called me and they say sir West Point West Point we're ready I was on the stage for hours hours son I came home I had a nice tan he said sir we could now leave the stage I say great general let's go I'll follow you and he goes like as I'm wearing leather bottom shoes which is good if you walk it on flat surfaces it's not good for ramps I'm being baked I'm being baked like a cake I said general there's no way I can make it down that ramp without falling on my ass general now I have a choice I can stay up there for another couple of hours and wait till I'm rescued or I can go down this really steep really really really is that ice skating rink it's brutal the first thing I did I looked at his shoes then I looked at mine so what happens I start the journey inch by inch tread so I took these little steps I ran down the last ten and by the way there tape kept go in almost every instance it is just before I run I've never seen Trump that defensive before he spent so much time on this story but now I'm more suspicious than I was like before I thought yeah maybe Trump has some trouble walking down ramps but now I'm not even sure that he has feet it's all so wild how Trump will talk for hours about walking down a ramp but if you ask him about racism in America he's like someone's looking into it so anyway Trump tried to put on a brave face and give the crowd a show he told crazy stories he called covert 19 the come true and one of the craziest parts of the rally is that he even admits it that he's told his people to slow down coronavirus testing so that the numbers wouldn't look as bad which is something we used to have to assume he was doing and now he's just telling us so I guess thanks for the honesty but one was all said and done it was clear that all of those empty seats really took a toll on Trump this video you see the president arriving back at the White House after that event looking a little dejected look like he felt defeated as he was walking out of marine walk the fact that we're seeing him with his tie undone that crumpled Magga had in his hand I told you that he wasn't able to basically put a happy face on something that for him was just an enormous disappoint now man I have never seen a person get out of a helicopter looking that sad he looks like he's walking home after a wedding where he got stood up at the altar but still had to party because everything was non-refundable I mean cheer up Donald you've got plenty of reasons to be happy the border are closed bys firing prosecutors and no one's seen fowey in weeks come on just take a double shot of hydroxy and get back in and mr. president because honestly it's weird to see Trump display emotion it's actually uncomfortable you know it's like watching mr. Potatohead get a boner I don't know how to feel but I think this experience was the first time Trump actually felt the full weight and severity of the corona virus pandemic and what finally got to him wasn't the hundred and twenty-two thousand lives lost in America but instead the twelve thousand eight hundred empty seats in an arena well that's our show for tonight but before we go June is Pride Month and right now we want to highlight charities that are making a difference for LGBTQ people of color like the National Black Justice Coalition which advocates for federal policies that fight against racism in homophobia and if you're able to help them and you'd like to join in then please donate whatever you can now if you'd like to support efforts to help black LGBTQ people here in New York specifically then you can donate to the Audrey Lorde project they help communities fight for their rights and organize for change [Music] [Music]
