[Master Yoshi]

These have gotta be becoming a bad idea.

 

[Slightly Live]

Why though? Doesn't he have president stuff to do instead?

 

[Sobriquet]

Poor snowflake needs a safe space

 

[ISOM]

"People are being mean to me so I need my mindless Trump fans to feed my ego" rally.

 

[Nafai1123]

Gotta get that positive reinforcement from REAL 'mericans somehow.

 

[kess]

Should be lots of fun after his budget proposal revealed cuts to farm subsidies.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

The exhaustion of traveling for under a week has gotten to him and he needs to recharge his batteries.

 

[RootCause]

He needs some recharging. Sad!

 

[theWB27]

Can't wait to see how long that line will be.

 

[John Rabbit]

Poor baby literally needs a party to cheer him up.

 

[kevin1025]

Why though? Doesn't he have president stuff to do instead?

He's getting the shit kicked out of him, with investigations and false promises finally dogpiling on top of him. He needs adoration from a screaming crowd to feel better for a few days.

 

[bebop242]

I feel like this one is going to be a mistake.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Did Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, W., Obama, etc. hold these types of rallies while serving as President?

Obviously they held big public speeches, but they were usually tied to a purpose other than "I'm your President, aren't I the greatest??"

It's really unsettling to know our President desperately wants to be a dictator and would rewrite the Constitution in a second to make him one if he could get away with it.

 

[Lord Frieza]

I feel like this one is going to be a mistake.

Why?

 

[Ithil]

I can't wait for the first one of these little pathetic ego boosters backfires and the crowd is more hostile than expected.

 

[UtterlyPerplexed]

He's going to tell the crowds all about how he has miraculously done what no other US President in modern times has ever done before - certainly not that Obummer - and has single-handedly brought peace to the whole Middle East. The most tremendous peace ever.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

I hope Iowa City and the Cedar Rapids population floods this one rather than the statistically more conservative rural Iowa.

Smart holding this once the students are gone.

 

[bebop242]

Why?

I can't wait for the first one of these little pathetic ego boosters backfires and the crowd is more hostile than expected.

This. I live in Iowa and Cedar Rapids doesn't seem as much of a safe place as say Florida.

 

[K.Sabot]

oh how nice of trump to host a town hall where all his constituents can confront him

he better hire a ton of thugs to throw people out, maybe it'll be caught on camera too

 

[BoosterDuck]

this guy's a gigantic idiot for not just hoarding as much money as possible before impeachment

 

[fredrancour]

Throwing cultist parties as continual bad news comes out seems like a great way to seem creepier and creepier to everyone but the most radical subfaction

 

[Bossking]

So, do you have to pay to attend these rallies? I'm hoping they backfire too, but if these are paid events, chances are it's only going to be his most diehard fans willing to put up the money.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Under investigation for treason, and he's still holding campaign rallies for 2020.

 

[Poetaster]

Another pep Trump up rally. Pathetic.

 

[chekhonte]

I don't see how these rallies can possible garner the support they did before the election. Can anybody believe anymore that he's their guy and is going to do all these things for them?

What the fuck can his messaging even be at this point for such an event?

 

[Sobriquet]

This. I live in Iowa and Cedar Rapids doesn't seem as much of a safe place as say Florida.

Judging by his rally in my town, the audience floods in from surrounding rural counties.

 

[Loxley]

I can't wait for the first one of these little pathetic ego boosters backfires and the crowd is more hostile than expected.

I wouldn't count on it. The folks who attend these things are his die-hard supporters, the ones who think he's infallible and anything negative about Trump is either liberal propaganda, fake news, or simply not his fault. They're a part of that 30% that will support him no matter what.

If anything attendance may go down as time goes on, but I wouldn't anticipate anything beyond that.

 

[Massicot]

This. I live in Iowa and Cedar Rapids doesn't seem as much of a safe place as say Florida.

cedar rapids isnt a huge city but yea, the cedar rapids - iowa city corridor went blue.

Judging by his rally in my town, the audience floods in from surrounding rural counties.

Probably true, though

 

[RPGCrazied]

So he can rant for an hour incoherently. While wasting tax payer dollars. Way to go America.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Dislike.

(Coming from someone living in the blue island north of Des Moines.)

 

[Massicot]

How many minutes into his speech before he reminds us he had the largest electoral victory for a republican since reagan

 

[chekhonte]

I just occurred to me what a shit show the 2020 elections are going to be presuming the ol' Trumperino will make it that long.

 

[More_Badass]

Gotta recharge his health batteries after that exhausting trip

 

[Dynomutt]

Trump needs love too. Let the Baron Harkonnen receive praise from his acolytes.

 

[The Kree]

Low stamina, little dick, and stupid.

 

[Shadybiz]

President Snowflake....how sad.

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

How many minutes into his speech before he reminds us he had the largest electoral victory for a republican since reagan

considering he made a commencement speech about himself, probably less than 5 minutes

 

[Green Yoshi]

When will he switch the slogan from "Make America Great Again" to "Keep America Great?". ;-)

Gotta recharge his health batteries after that exhausting trip

And he wasn't even in Germany. ;-)
I assume there will be no speech from him in Berlin. But he should really visit our wall. It was so succesful back in the day. So amazing. ^^

 

[Mighty Chin]

He needs to feel the love.

 

[Henry Jones Jr]

This. I live in Iowa and Cedar Rapids doesn't seem as much of a safe place as say Florida.

Yeah I'm from Cedar Rapids and currently live in Iowa City. By Iowa standards, they are pretty liberal counties. I'm surprised he would do a rally in a county that he lost. It seems like he generally does these as a "reward" for his supporters. Hopefully a lot of protesters show up.

 

[astroturfing]

why?

 

[Wilsongt]

My guess is this is to show support for the newly elected R governor... and for an ego stroke.

 

[GarthVaderUK]

why?

Ego boost.

 

[Username1198]

He needs to recharge his batteries after low energy over seas trip. NevER ForgET!

 

[Zap Rowsdower]

why?

Donnie needs his tiny dick sucked by his cultists to make him feel better for all his massive failures and ever looming impeachment.

 

[lord pie]

I'd love to see a crap load of people turn up, only to stand and watch in complete motionless silence.

 

[Nafai1123]

I'd love to see a crap load of people turn up, only to stand and watch in complete motionless silence.

 

[Kart94]

I almost want to see the look on the faces when the supporters realized that Trump put one on them with his budget. Trump is a good cars salesman, selling 50 million ugly beat up cars.

 

[lord pie]

I looked up what that references. I haven't seen the TV show, so I'm not sure what you are suggesting.

I was meaning it'd be interesting to see a protest that is the complete opposite of everything trump stands for; He is powered (in a way) by attention and people reacting to him (both positively and negatively).

I'd be curious what would happen if the crowd was utterly, totally reactionless - as if he wasn't there.
