Donald Trump pushed back on reports that planning for this month’s Republican National Convention had been haphazard by promising on Twitter Saturday that the speaking spots had been “totally filled” and the campaign would announce them next week. Politico previously reported that many top Republicans were resisting even attending the confab in Cleveland, let alone speaking at it.
The speakers slots at the Republican Convention are totally filled, with a long waiting list of those that want to speak – Wednesday release

Trump also responded to a New York Times report that said that the presumptive GOP nominee was, until recently, unaware where the event was even being held.
Just read in the failing @nytimes that I was not aware “the event had to be held in Cleveland” – a total lie. These people are sick!

No doubt, totally F.O.S!
It’s totally also a coincidence the number of speaking times got reduced from 43 to 18.
Anyone who suggests otherwise is a nasty, nasty guy.
I can see how there would be a long waiting list - every grifter in the country wants a piece of the action.
Any hints as to who is on the speaking list? No, it’s a surprise!!!
Starting to look more and more like we’re headed for some kind of convention telethon, with a scowling Trump as m.c. No money, no speakers, bring in the clown acts.
Trump doesn’t realize that most of US hasn’t seen and/or won’t appreciate his stream-of-consciousness bs – 10,000 people showing up for a rally can’t be wrong, amirite Donald? Total vote for president likely to be around 130,000,000, so do 130 of those rallies and you’ll be cracking 1% of the electorate.
