...and other outrageous musing from Phoenix. "1. "And just so you know from the Secret Service, there aren't too many people outside protesting, OK. That I can tell you." This is, literally, the first line of his speech. Trump is obsessed with the idea that the opposition to him is overstated while the support for him is understated. (They won't turn the cameras around and show the size of my crowds!) CNN's Saba Hamedy, who was on the scene of the protests, said that thousands of people were on the streets of Phoenix. Cops throw gas canisters, protesters throw them back Cops throw gas canisters, protesters throw them back 01:19 2. "A lot of people in here, a lot of people pouring right now. They can get them in. Whatever you can do, fire marshals, we'll appreciate it." So many people love me -- it's hard to fit them all in the building! But, try! 3. "You know I'd love it if the cameras could show this crowd, because it is rather incredible. It is incredible." For the record: The cameras always show the crowd. Have for months and years." 54 more at link: www.cnn.com/2017/08/23/politics/donald-trump-arizona/index.html

I love the way his staff always manages to find 1 person of color to sit directly behind him.

I was reading an article about how maybe we should just let Trump be the King of America. He gets to be the king, he's happy, and then we don't have to worry about what he does anymore. I'm kind of on board with that.

Apparently some of his supporters were tweeting a photo of a crowded street saying it was folks waiting for his rally. But it was actually Cleveland 2016 - Cavs victory parade

I saw an interesting clip the other day where Phil Donahue was interviewed. He said that if you watch Trump's entrance to any rally, he is always greeted by young pretty girls who want to take selfies with him. Donahue suggests these young ladies are hired props. Would not be surprised if many of the people situated behind him with signs are, too.
In one clip I saw a MAN holding a "Women for Trump" sign, and a white woman holding a "Blacks for Trump" one. Fake news, I guess...

I love the way his staff always manages to find 1 person of color to sit directly behind him. They advertise on CraigsList and then pay them to be there. Don't know if that is fake news but I ran across one of the ads and it certainly sounds like something his team would do. I don't care enough to dig into it.

That's not fake news. My friend who lives in Mesa had friends on her FB & Twitter feed posting screenshots of ads looking for people to attend the rally. One asked for people of color. Show up at 6, get a ticket, turn ticket in at 9, get paid.

Well he did make some promises about the exciting, high paying jobs he would be creating for the economy during the campaign maybe that was what he meant?

I'm pretty sure that those CraigsList ads are fake. Even his team isn't inept enough to recruit for something like that publicly. I am also pretty sure it's no coincidence they always have a few non-white people there to show "diversity" but I think they find them other ways.

There was a person in the radio the other day claiming all the liberals go to this website to get crowds. crowdsondemand.comI'm betting certain people in either side might need that.

For a long time, DJT has been accusing the Democrats and the left of having paid demonstrators and supporters. "Believe me" if he is saying someone else does it, I am suspicious of what HIS side is doing.

There was an image on Twitter w/exactly this point. I won't post it here, but I can send it to you privately if you want It was Obama's inauguration vs. Trumps w/a very interesting way to outline the crowd sizes from the Capital down the mall. Let's just say Obama's was the more well-endowed crowd size.

And just like in a dictatorship, Trump et al think the role of the media is to glorify the leader vs. telling the stories and presenting the facts.

What is your obsession about Trump and his every single move? Probably the same obsession/interest that everyone had about Obama. There were tons of threads daily on him when he was president. trump is the president of this country. That is a normal topic when the president is a normal human. When he is a lunatic it is like a train wreck. One can't look away or stop commenting on him.

I don't think crowd size is the only thing he's obsessed with. How many Presidential candidates have we had who talked about his junk on a national debate stage?
