- Trump's Tulsa rally, meant to be a campaign kickoff, saw a much smaller crowd than expected, only 6,200 in a 19,000-person venue.
- K-Pop fans and TikTok users falsely registered for tickets, inflating the perceived interest and contributing to the campaign's miscalculation.
Public Health Concerns Over Politics
- The low turnout at Trump's rally suggests that many people prioritized their health concerns over political allegiance.
- This indicates a potential disconnect between Trump's messaging and public priorities.
Trump's Rambling Rally Speech
- Trump's Tulsa rally speech lacked a clear reelection message and focused on personal grievances.
- He omitted any mention of critical issues like the recession, COVID-19 deaths, or racial injustice.
