President Donald Trump on Thursday bragged that his July 4 bash is “turning out to be one of the biggest celebrations in the history of our Country,” but his staffers are reportedly struggling to fill up the seats.
According to the Washington Post, White House aides worry that they won’t be able to corral enough people for Trump’s last-minute bash. Despite handing out tickets to 5,000 tickets to the military and special VIP tickets to political allies via the RNC, officials told the Post that there are still plenty of tickets available.
The event (which Trump’s reelection campaign insists is not meant to be a partisan rally despite emailing supporters urging them to come) was carefully engineered to be invitation-only in order to avoid another embarrassing scene like Trump’s near-empty 2017 inauguration, which was a major source of frustration for the President.
For members of the Trump White House: When you can’t get many people to take free tickets to sit next to your supposed “hero,” don’t you wonder who and what you’re working for?
This is going to be a terrible RAW (WWE) episode.
I’m sure there are plenty of Democrats that would fill in those seats, as long as you don’t mind their signs (and their blimp).
As you can see I’ve been very busy this morning.
Though they should, because it’s Trump, they won’t care about any bad optics. It’ll either be: “they would have shown up if we were the only game in town.” or “Obama had these types of problems.”
Both examples are bull, but considering that Gidley was cool with getting piefaced by AC, I’m reckoning that I’m not wrong in guessing that.
