Trump And Another Of His Lying Shenanigan's

Sunlit7 op

 The foolery never ends with Trump. He's a desperate man pulling out some desperate punches. Today he bellows out on his Truth Social Media that seventy five thousand people showed up at his rally in Pickens, South Carolina. The first thing that I noticed is that Pickins has a total population of slightly over three thousand people. Probably isn't the most rural area in the states but it doesn't take a major thruway to support the population either. The entire city is a two point five mile area. One of those places if you blinked you'd miss it as my dad use to say. Sometimes you really got to hand it to the guy because he can keep the bullshit meter running at full tilt.

It's statistically impossible to put seventy five thousand people into a two point five mile area. At best you can get forty two thousand two hundred and forty people within that perimeter. That would take using both sides of the street with people spread into fifteen foot lines on each side. Now ask yourself does that look like what's going on here:

It actually looks like the whole town of Pickins itself given that seventy five percent of them voted for Trump in 2020. The person coming closest to telling the truth is the man who said the line stretched around four blocks:

As the event started with a prayer, supporters continued to file through the 10 security checkpoints at the gate on East Main Street. Supporters were still filing in at noon as the line stretched around four blocks. 

Here's a map of the town of Pickins:

He wasn't lying. I've been to two Trump rally's and it takes more than four city blocks to hold fifteen thousand people let alone seventy five thousand people. The event was held on East Main Street with what one person attended the event saying had the secret service stationed on top of the buildings. As you can see from the map that's about a one block radius where most the spectators were herded like cattle shoulder to shoulder to fit as many people into that tiny space to make it appear further than the eye can see.

How did Trump come about picking the small town of Pickins? Well he went to the electoral map, found the county that gave him the most votes and said bingo that's where we are going.  Where is tiny little Pickins at? It would be next to that triangular point at the top of the left of this map surrounded by a sea of red rural voters:

Now just to make sure if his appearance wasn't enough to draw people in they decided to plan other events around his event starting with a first ever 5k race. The participants though weren't allowed to sell or buy tee shirts for the event. Ultimately the day would progress with events afterwards of free games, rides, bounce house for kids, bands and end out the day with a spectacular fireworks shows in the evening. The 5k race is where Madge (Marjorie Taylor Greene) comes into play as she tweets out the exact time the race is to start and declares look at all these people here at 8 a.m. to see Trump.

"Pickens, South Carolina! 8:00 am and people can't wait to see President Trump! I'll be there soon!" Greene tweeted early Saturday morning. 

These people are gullible and their gullibility doesn't end there it actually gets a lot worse. The 5k race was suppose to be a fund riser to get the water fountains on Doodle Trail working again. Everyone knows that selling tee shirts at fund raising events is a good way to bring in a lot more revenue. If they did that though people showing up at 8 a.m. would be distinguishable from the Trump supporters. There is simply no other reason why you wouldn't want people walking around with anything other than a red hat plastered on their heads.

This will be the first year for this race and is being held the morning of the Pickens Independence Day Spectacular. The race will be held in Pickens at the Historic Hampton House in Pickens, and the race will start and finish at the house.
The race is being held to raise money to help get the water fountains on the Doodle Trail working again. Age group awards will be given at 10 year intervals. Tee shirts: There will be no tee shirts for this race. The race has a low entry fee and all of the proceeds and donations will go directly to the cost of getting the water fountains on the Doodle Trail running again. 

The point of register for the event is right dab smack in the same vicinity that three hours later the rally would start with their guest speakers. Coincidence? Nah. Those are Trump supporters not racers. Shsss.

"The South Carolina trump crowd is jaw dropping. The line literally doesn't end," tweeted Baldwin, who also described Trump supporters in another tweet as being part of an "INSANE TURNOUT in South Carolina. Thousands of people here before 8am. Enthusiasm through the roof for Pres. Trump and the MAGA movement."

I am sure there were hundreds of early Trump supporters there along with those registering in for the race. It really makes you wonder how much they had to pay Newsweek to print this hogwash. Speaking of hogwash Trump decides it would be a good thing to do a PA on SC. A PA is when he decided to bring the owners of J&J on stage at his Pennsylvania rally knowing full well that his supporters are miles apart with him on the vaccine. This time he decides to bring along Lindsay Graham, who ended up getting booed by the crowd.

"We're going to love him. He's half and half. When we need those liberal votes, we need him. We know the good ones. We know the bad ones too," Trump said.

Later in his speech, he mentioned Graham, again, by name and the crowd began booing again.

"I'm going to have to work on these people. He's there when you need him," Trump told the crowd

Sort of like he wouldn't have to mandate the vaccine he'd just "work" on everyone until they took it. Right! Not!

I think the most gullible moment came when all the planned free events afterward got cancelled supposedly to severe weather.

But there was just one thing that bothered me about that...

Where's the free rides, the bounce house and array of other family fun filled events in the background....and that large sign, that looks really similar to the large outside television screen seen at most Trump rally's so those who can't get inside can watch it outside. I guess it could be possible a small town of slightly over three thousand people have the revenue to buy and install a digital billboard they'd rarely have any use for, it's not like it's going to generate a lot of business advertising for the general store, probably wouldn't generate enough profit to pay for the electricity it runs off. Nah, this looks more like the charade it was meant to be, a thanks for playing along folks, nothing in life in free unless unless it pertains to Trump. A schtick like this would be right up his alley. He's a shyster so I totally wouldn't be surprised.
