A 51-year-old Iowa woman has led an effort get President Donald Trump to address an empty auditorium when he speaks at a campaign rally next week.

Mary Jo Laupp posted a video on video sharing platform TikTok last week encouraging her followers to register for Trump’s campaign rally in Oklahoma and then not attend. The plan is designed to purchase as many tickets as possible, forcing the president to address a largely empty auditorium on June 20.

“All of those of us that want to see this 19,000 seat auditorium barely filled or completely empty go reserve tickets now and leave him standing alone there on the stage,” Laupp told her TikTok followers. The platform is known more for dancing teenagers than a stage for people to engage in political advocacy.

Laupp made the appeal because she was upset that the rally was originally set to take place on Juneteenth, a day commemorating the end of slavery in the United States. Trump announced Saturday that he would move his rally to June 20 out of respect for the commemoration.

Ah yes, Wylie is cagey.   But there is a solution.   Let Trump supporters know that if there are empty seats at the rally, they will be allowed to fill those seats at the last minute.  That way, Roadrunner still gets the money from the idiot left, makes his supporters happy at the expense of the idiot left, and still has a full venue rally.   Problem solved.   :laugh:

Since there will probably be many thousands lining up hoping to get the seat of someone who did not show up, this bit of stupidity won't work. But it will get her some cheers on Democratic Underground ... until they realize it didn't work.

Ah, the fevered mind of a leftist. (Did I say mind? My apologies for drawing conclusions without evidence of same)

This is dumb.  Down at the bottom of the story it's reported Trump already has 800,000 ticket requests for a 19,000 seat venue.  It's said to be a rich vein of data, and fodder for mass emails.  I hope these lefties enjoy the Trump spam headed their way.   :smokin:
