Trump's video speech plays to empty seats at free event
President Donald Trump played a recycled video address to rows of empty chairs at the free, day-long Rededicate 250 event and did not appear in person. Organizers billed the gathering as a free outreach event, but photos and video show large swaths of vacant seating while the recorded speech ran. Those empty seats highlight weak in-person turnout for a high-profile outreach effort and will shape perceptions of campaign momentum.
As The Daily Beast notes, there were a WHOLE BUNCH of empty seats. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-humili...
Besides recycling a speech by the most obviously irreligious president in history, the event repeatedly and falsely cast our Founders as establishing the country as a Christian nation. A little more truth would have been nice.
I signed up for about 40 people to come. Because they required no real check. I laughed.
I guess people don’t want to go to a prayer event held by a rapist and pedophile.
The event got more press in New England than the VRA march in Selma. No mention of Trump’s inability to read his scripted video tape. Unbalanced reporting
