Please, use the sunlight.

The solution is actually quite a bit simpler.

Fire Fauci. Go back to daily briefings, but this time make them all about Pence and some REAL doctors reassuring America that the death rate is PLUMMETING and they can start going back to normal. Launch investigations into state and local health officials who are cooking the case numbers. Start pushing back against the mask culture.

What Trump desperately needs is a COVID Exit Strategy.

They are not political rallies.

They are peaceful protests.

As we all know you cannot catch the KungFlu at a peaceful protest.

I thought that about 15k people made it into the Tulsa rally - did I miss something?
15k people is not a flop.

I think he did fire Fauci. Fauci has gone rogue. As for daily briefings, who gives a flip? The mask/6 ft rule is a worn out joke. Don’t spit on your neighbor.

FANTASTIC idea.

Make it outdoors... live bands. Food stands.

If this becomes the trend then we really need to pray now regarding the weather for any and all ourdoor venues planned.

they always mention the lower than expected turnout in Tulsa but never mention that 7 MILLION watched it on FOX and about 6 MILLION watched it on youtube. Neither do they ever mention that the 12,000 who turned out in Tulsa dwarfs the combined attendence at all of Biden events for the last several months.

Trump takes cryptic shots at Fauci. Last night on Hannity he said “he’s a nice man, but he’s been wrong a LOT!” Waiting for the other shoe to drop on that.

The weather forecast is not promising for the Portsmouth rally. Late afternoon thunderstorms are very common in the summer and are predicted.

Tulsa was I think his first rally that did not pack it to the rafters.

Whether that is due to fears of coronavirus, or fears of being hit in the head with a brick from an ANTIFA protester, or thinking you’ll never get in after they stupidly announced 1 million ticket requests, or sabotage by temperature takers walking off the job and/or BLM blocking entrances, or some combination of the above, who knows?

When I hear "outdoor political rally" I can only think of that monsoon scene from the movie Meet John Doe.

That will affect the turnout for sure but I do think others will go to it regardless....we’ll soon see.

In a stadium of 20,000 capacity. Plus a record high viewers for Fox News. Considering the epidemic fears that isn’t bad attendance. I watched on YouTube.

We watched on CSPAN which wasn’t even in most of the totals.

It used to be that most campaign rallies were outdoors
