President Donald Trump addressed a smaller-than-expected crowd with criticism of anti-racism protests at a rally meant to reinvigorate his re-election campaign amid US racial unrest and a still-strong coronavirus pandemic

"The unhinged left-wing mob is trying to vandalize our history, desecrate our monuments - our beautiful monuments - tear down our statues and punish, cancel and persecute anyone who does not conform to their demands for absolute and total control. We're not conforming," Trump said.

"When you do testing to that extent, you're going to ... find more cases," he said. "So, I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down, please.'" A White House official said he was "obviously kidding" with that remark. The president, unusually, suggested that his own speech to the partially empty arena was not his best.Trump often feeds off the energy of big groups, something he has not been able to do since the pandemic paused his rallies.

Its good that none of them wear masks. Hopefully darwin will do the work

Why would you vote for him What did he ever do for America. REALLY

6611 people after teenagers ordered tickets online😂😂Trump got punked 😂😂.

That so called speech was so shambolic-racist, egotistical ranting. I was horrified. How on earth was that ridiculous person ever elected and who the hell would vote for him again. He’s a megalomaniac 🙄

Love you Trump

Crowd numbers aside, he’s still an inept narcissistic and very dangerous fuckwit.

Isn’t audience diversity more important than size!

FakeNews. Images from CNN showing empty seating were shot hours before the rally started. Do you fcukwits actually think people believe your bullshit?

Did you check the online audience numbers? You'd be surprised

Balloon

so when it's expected to be a big crowd, you complain about the coronavirus, but when it's actually a smaller than expected crowd, you still complain? Damn you guys are never happy
