The antics of teens, TikTok users, K-pop fans and an Iowa grandma may have inflated the Trump campaign’s expectations for attendance at the president's rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

President Donald Trump supporters cheer as Trump speaks during a campaign rally at the BOK Center, Saturday, June 20, 2020, in Tulsa, Okla.

their antics may have inflated the campaign’s expectations for attendance numbers that led to Saturday’s disappointing show.“My 16 year old daughter and her friends in Park City Utah have hundreds of tickets. You have been rolled by America’s teens,” veteran Republican campaign strategist Steve Schmidt tweeted on Saturday. The tweet garnered more than 100,000 likes and many responses from people who say they or their kids did the same.

In a statement, the Trump campaign blamed the “fake news media” for “warning people away from the rally” over COVID-19 and protests against racial injustice around the country. Inside the 19,000-seat BOK Center in Tulsa, where Trump thundered that “the silent majority is stronger than ever before,” numerous seats were empty. Tulsa Fire Department spokesperson Andy Little said the city fire marshal’s office reported a crowd of just less than 6,200 in the arena.City officials had expected a crowd of 100,000 people or more in downtown Tulsa, but that never materialized.

“Like salmon in the river, they participate politically through the methods and means of their lives,” Schmidt added.

Racism is a disease and it is a crime.All Americans should be respected irrespective of their color or religion.

“Antics” is pretty belittling and kinda ageist

They create a false . Remember that when we get to the election.

So now the demcrats are using foreign countries to interfere with US elections? This tactic sounds familiar.

Love this! ♥️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Trump thanks them for contributing to his campaign

They probably irritated potential voters. People may not have attended the rally, but they will vote. Dirty tricks usually work against a party with undecided voters. The only people who got a hee haw out of the situation were the committed democrats and the terminally immature.

Это новость дня

So in other words, those liberal allies, allowed themselves to be used as pawns. Also, the idiots just accomplished what the so-capped Russian did in 2016. Now, the bigger picture is that those TikTok people did violate those people 1st Amendment rights. Wheres the MSM?

That Iowa grandmother belongs to Legacy ministries, they have such a thing in New Castle Pennsylvania, very liberal town, you have these offshoots of ministries, Theologians, Abolitionist views really over the top Ideology & their interpretations of the Bible.

Bwahahaha!

Bravo!!

How many people saw/heard speech streaming or on Fox. 5 million was it? Not important how many in the seats, especially with threat of violence outside. If befuddled sleepy Joe in his basement has such good ideas for running the country, why need for haters to disrupt DT rallys?

Over 5 million of President Trump Supporters watched it on assorted TV stations. We are the silent majority don’t underestimate America’s Law Abiding Militia. Ready to protect our Country Against these Domestic Enemies of the United States.

Disgusting

So democrats are using a Chinese owned platform to attack the president of the United States?

At least we know it wouldn’t been packed, so I’m not complaining.

MikeRezendes Finally caught on to this

No matter how many were there it was thousands more than Biden can get.

Antics? You mean activism.

Some call these “antics” - wait for it - peaceful resistance and protest!

The con got conned by kids .

More fake news AP

Let's consider that blaming TikTok might be a GOP conspiracy theory to deflect from the truth that only 6,200 people showed up.

So all those kids just sent their data to Facebook? Their evil vibes just keep getting stronger.

Trump's worst enemies: 1) 75 years old Antifa anarchists 2) 14 years old Tic Toc liberal trolls 3) ramps 4) water 5) words with more than 2 syllables

Are they watching it on YouTube? 1.6 million views.

out of touch+ out of control+ out of his mind+ out of gas= out of office!

TIKTOK FANS? NO, IT'S PEOPLE USING A CHINESE APP TO INFLUENCE OUR ELECTIONS. DemocratMob DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

And you love to see it.

However, the trump administration was accepting all invites with no cap. It might have inflated the numbers but wouldn't have affected the bottom line or the actual number that attended.

Trump's wet dream became a pee pee tape....

How did K-pop fans get associated with this? What about the death liquid metal screamo fans out there.

Always good idea to poke the bear. What did they accomplish? nothing.

He went home dejected and defeated by The Hoax.

Which is why we know dems will try to commit fraud by mail in Nov

Welcome to the NET, emailed to thousands of us and across the world, Maybe the world really doesn't care for Trump,but then I didn't like him in the 90s.

Sounds like campaign interference to me 🤷‍♂️

Iowa grandma whazxxxuuup!!

I believe that children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way 🎼 ... sing along everyone.

They are completely unwilling to acknowledge that people aren't buying this. Sign a paper that says you're willing to die for him?

Peaceful protest. Activism. Love it.

tik tok teens & young adults troll liar djt using him for bait at tulsa,ok last night by advice from a grandma in oregon/.and the entire gop party fell for it as did liar djt/. trolled by teens/.really,yep /.

Antics is an interesting choice of word. Why not “Extremely smart ACTIONS of both young and senior generations hits Trump where hurts him the most: his ego.”?

You can keep pulling these so-called pranks all you want. Im looking forward to seeing your miserable(CRY BABIES) faces when realDonaldTrump gets re-elected in November.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Joe Biden may have sexually assaulted women.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Oh poor, Dear Leader Trump: You live by social media you die on social media punked by teenagers. I'm a proud anti-Vietnam boomer: I'm betting on Millennials & Generation Z to make the changes we dreamed of in the Age of Aquarius.

This was activism. Cleverly thoughtout activism. They knew Trump's narcissism will be his downfall. Making him and his people think there was 1 mil. attendees, they knew he would brag and broadcast it to the world. They knew how bad it would look when they couldn't even hit 19K.

Are you really that stupid? The tickets are general admission and more tickets are distributed than can get in. It’s just as easy to commit fraudulent voter fraud using mail in ballots. We are about to find out.

Amazingly the childish antics pulled off can also be turned back around against dems. Watch out what games you start to play

Putin overheard snickering and saying: “so easy a kid could do it.”

Whatever works so I don’t have to see his ugly face again after January

May have? lol they thought there was easily gonna be 100 k people there. They had put door over flow events planned and they didn’t even fill 1/3 of the arena .lol

sociopaths

Biggest troll of 2020

It doesn't matter if the number was inflated to 100 million. The fact is that 'ONLY 6100 PEOPLE SHOWED UP'! Trump's 'silent majority' was also 'INVISIBLE'! 😄

And yet he drew 100 x what Biden could ever draw. 🤣

Chinese company tiktok?

Now, what would ever motivate them to do something like that?

Mark it: This Tulsa rally is the beginning of the end of the Trump administration.

I think it is great

If this old guy would have thought of it would have done the same after Trump told the Russians to get involved in our elections. Karma just bite Trump in the butt!

Please. This f*cker exhorted Ukraine. This, if true, is GENIUS! Republicans calling Democrats-or anyone, for that matter...😂😂😂

If true this would mean more liberals make fake reservations for President Trump's Rallies than actually make reservations for or attend Biden Rallies.

So the left collided with foreign elements to interfere with the election through tampering, and they want mail in voting?! Uuuuum no.

We love aliens but not this one

I have been following this broadcast and I have learnt alot

THEY ALSO VIOLATED FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS OF CITIZENS TO PEACEFULLY ASSEMBLE AND TO FREE SPEECH. AOC, AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, CHEERED THIS ON AND HAS TO BE IMPEACHED! THE PARENTS SUCK.

Still more than racist Biden

60 people shot in Chicago 9 people shot and killed 3-year-old shot and killed 13-year-old shot and killed 16-year-old shot and killed 17-year-old shot and killed Yet AP is silent

Yes! It's called CHEATING! The only way Dems can win an election! Where in the hell is Joe Biden

was there 800,000 attending djt rally in tulsa,last night/.tulsa fire dept said there were 6,200 persons at his rally/.what happened to the overflow area,,no one,there was a lot of emty seats,,inside/.im glad folks listened to science & stayed home. stay safe/.close down states/.

PatriotJackIII Maybe they could do the same for Biden's rallies and actually show up so he has more than fifty people in attendance...

And their proud parents, who encourage them to cheat because harming Trump and his supporters, by any means necessary, is deemed VIRTUOUS, will do exactly the same thing if they can steal votes.

It doesn’t matter if they did or not. It gives a perfect chance for the US to ban the China communist controlled app and direct the accusation of election manipulation by a foreign power ie CCP

Hehe, what a great turn out at that rally huh

Gen z has restored my faith in humanity ❤️

Stop misleading us. It was only ONE and it was the CCP sponsored 50Cent bots that they use to troll online. It’s election tampering by a foreign country. CHINA

That's not how it works. Anyone can request tickets, but it's first come first serve when you get there. It wouldn't matter if there were 100 million pranksters. All they did was give their info to Trump campaign.

Trump literally owns the left.

When Biden has no hope, Democrats resort to this

But of course no one opposed to Trump would ever consider hacking voter outcomes. Of course not, would never even think about it.

Tell me. What’s the difference between that.. and this..

If Trump and Company can be outsmarted by a bunch of TikTok users and K-Pop fans....imagine what the professional politicians are getting away with.

Oh I hope so😂.

This would make a cracking Hollywood film. It’s verging on the unbelievable. I really hope it’s true. And I hope they do it again and again.

And all the real people kept hearing the huge s and assumed they’d never get in. And so didn’t go. It’s brilliant. Lol.

And what maybe 10% are eligible to vote of that maybe 30% will. This is a huge nothing burger

Ok, who had this headline on their 2020 bingo card?

Not real

Typical

Did he really expect to get a million people into an arena that seats 20,000? Even Eric isn’t that dumb.

But, let’s all trust “vote by mail.” Geniuses.

Over 4,000,000 people watched the live stream of the rally. Last Joe Biden online event? Less than 1,000 live streams. People can play games with getting tickets and the media can spin this how they will, but the enthusiasm for Trump is alive and well, not so for Biden.

Definitely inflates expectations for Chinese sponsored Democrat voter fraud.

But Russian Facebook ads.... right?

Iowa Grandma strikes again. Will her political meddling ever cease?

The antics of people who can’t get laid... let’s fix that headline.

They probably caused some inflation in the numbers but there have been plenty of us requesting tickets to Trump events for years. Clearly Brad Parscale was over inflating the numbers and hiding the truth hoping that somehow the crowd would show up.

Even if expectations were *one tenth* of what was said to be reserved, they STILL fell significantly short.

He got played

Interfering in an election is what they did with AOC support.

No tweets from Donald today. Did someone tell him that 75 million of his followers r teenagers?

Go Gen Z
