I guess it would be indecorous to point out that they also cheered when he enlisted the help of Russia to get elected.

Or that they cheered when he encouraged his mob to assault protesters.

Or that they cheered …

An applause meter. You mean like the ones they use on game shows?

Agree with everything you said. I guess that is why we are back to build the wall and Mexico is going to pay for it - because the people who like Trump enough to attend one of his rallies cheer for it. Wonder what apprentice style surprise he is working on for this Friday?

Apparently he was shielded from the counter-protesters.

Can’t wait for him to come to California if he dares. We’ll show him how we feel about him, and it won’t involve cheers.

> “The people went crazy when I said, ‘What do you think of Sheriff Joe?’ or something to that effect. The place went absolutely crazy.”

Shorter Trump: “You don’t have to be crazy to support Joe Arapio, but it sure seems to help.” A sad truth evident to sane Arizona voters for decades.

I will curse the name of Tom Agnos until the day I die. (Agnos was Arapio’s predecessor as Maricopa County Sheriff, who completely botched the investigation of the Buddhist Temple Massacre, coercing false confessions from four innocent people, and setting the scene for Arpaio to sweep into office in a “At Least He’s Not Tom Agnos” campaign.)

All people other than Donald exist as two dimensional beings who either adore him or threaten him - that is how a narcissist sees the world. People that don’t like him are either misinformed by the evil media or are themselves evil. It is really quite simple.

there was not a huge crowd at the rally. maybe 3-4k. camera angles focused inward to avoid revealing how sparse it was. trump is one seriously lying mo-fo.

A rally of 5000 people that were a hand-selected friendly audience.

When I mentioned him the other night, you saw the massive crowd we had,” he said. “The people went crazy when I said, ‘What do you think of Sheriff Joe?’ or something to that effect. The place went absolutely crazy.”

By this logic, donnie, if you went to the zoo and threw your shit shit at the monkeys, and the Monkeys enjoyed it, you’d then conclude throwing shit was a good idea and and so make policy based on shit throwing.

Didn’t I read that he claimed that there was 15,000 people and then the Fire Department came out and said that the capacity for that venue was one-third or one-half that many?

Lots of cheering here, too. And some of them, I’m sure, are fine people.

Well, that’s it then. For all future pardon considerations, we’ll set up an applauds meter at a Trump ego rally and make a decision based on that. Fuck those normal procedures that involve DOJ. We’ve got DJT! (applauds)

He won’t like that picture because Hitler is upstaging him. When Trump has a rally it will bigger and wonderful, the bestest ever. And in color. What is with that Hitler guy and his black and white pictures anyway?
