As you probably saw this weekend, Trump’s ‘huge’ rally in Tulsa didn’t materialize. In fact, only a measly 6,200 people turned up — in a 19,000 capacity stadium. The Trump camp had boasted earlier that they expected more than ‘one million people.’
Even FOX News pushed back against Trump’s protestations that it was the ‘fake media and protestors’ who kept the crowds away. Host Chris Wallace said ‘you guys look silly’ by ‘denying the reality of what happened’ in Tulsa.
‘[Trump] talks about how he can fill an arena, and he didn’t fill an arena last night. You guys were so far off that you had planned an outdoor rally and there wasn’t an overflow crowd. Protesters did not stop people from coming to that rally. The fact is, people did not show up.’
Donald, your rally in Tulsa was a flop. You've probably heard this before, but it was smaller than we expected — and it sure wasn't as big as you promised.
