It certainly could not have been that people are tiring of Der Furor.

Is it any wonder why three(!) top officials in this administration have spilled their guts to reporters? What a toxic, emotionally abusive environment it must be.

The blame, yes. The money, no way. :laughing:

Gee Donnie, you told everyone you were so very pleased with the crowd size when you took the stage. Were you lying?

TRUMP: What a crowd.
(APPLAUSE)
TRUMP: And just so you know from the Secret Service, there aren’t too many people outside protesting, OK. That I can tell you.
(APPLAUSE)
A lot of people in here, a lot of people pouring right now. They can get them in. Whatever you can do, fire marshals, we’ll appreciate it.

It really shows you that America is indeed a nation of faith, we know that.
(APPLAUSE)
Well, I’m thrilled to be back in Phoenix, in the great state of Arizona.
(APPLAUSE)
With so many thousands of hard-working American patriots.
You know I’d love it if the cameras could show this crowd, because it is rather incredible. It is incredible.
(APPLAUSE)
It is incredible.
As everybody here remembers, this was the scene of my first rally speech, right?
The crowds were so big, almost as big as tonight, that the people said right at the beginning, you know, there’s something special happening here. And we went to center stage almost from day one in the debates. We love those debates.
(APPLAUSE)

I think we’ll be lucky if we escape this presidency without a fire marshal being guillotined on the WH lawn.

KellyAnne, The Witch: I am not sure if the employee can take the full blame. Obama personally was involved in this as well and should own up to it.

Here’s an excerpt courtesy of

Glen Thrush must more stupid than Chris Cillizza. Just think, all Trumpler has to do is make it through the day without dropping his pants somewhere in San Antonio, and crapping on the sidewalk and he’s ‘unified’ the country.

Hmmmm.

President Trump’s senior aides are increasingly airing their private disagreements publicly, exposing a widening rift between the president and key members of his administration over his handling of racial divisions exposed by white supremacist violence in Charlottesville.

Trump — who has fumed at the media’s criticism of his response to Charlottesville — is also annoyed at similar criticism coming from within his administration, especially from National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to people in regular touch with the White House.

Trump fatigue is contagious.

Actually, from what I’ve seen the 10,000 figure is, how shall we say, generous. In itself, the figure is a bloated reading of the maximum capacity of the reserved space, which was half full. So, when I say a generous estimate, I mean to the tune of being double the number that likely attended.

Here’s one such report, with video footage in the article – http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/the-real-tiny-crowd-at-president-trumps-phoenix_us_599f412de4b0cb7715bfd431

All Trump needs at these rallies is the twenty or so paid volunteers holding up signs directly behind him. His videographer can splice in stock footage of crowds from Nuremberg or wherever.

The trouble is stores won’t even let you buy twenty Tiki torches at a time now. Damn liberals!

But just think, we have to wonder if that’s even possible, the not crapping on the sidewalk. He might just do it.

All I can say is that George Gigicos had it coming. It should be clear to anyone that working for Trump is something that ends in humiliation, anyone still working for him is begging for it. And that includes McMasters and Kelly.
