Trump's first #MAGA rally since COVID-19 began is about to blow everyone's expectations out of the water.
As of this writing, 300,000 tickets have been reserved!
To put this into perspective, the venue only seats 19,000 people.
The city's entire population is only 400,000 thousand.
This is easily the HOTTEST ticket in the nation.
Want to know what's even more crazy?
People are still registering to attend the rally! In previous rallies, when the stadium fills, the campaign broadcasts Trump speech to attendees outside.
The Trump Train is still growing and gaining speed!
More details on this exciting development below:
Despite the media's attempt to blame Trump for coronavirus and national civil unrest, people are able to see through the biased reporting.
Trump's base of support is growing stronger and wider than ever before.
Fox News has more details from Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale:
Around 300,000 people have applied for tickets to President Trump's first scheduled rally since states began efforts to resume activities following weeks of lockdown measures amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to the campaign.
Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale on Friday tweeted the figure for the event at the 19,000-seat BOK Center in Tulsa, Okla.
"Trump #MAGA Rally in Tulsa is hottest ticket ever!" he posted. "Over 200K tickets already & it’s not even political season. Looking at a 2nd event in town to get more people to be w/ @realDonaldTrump Gonna be GREAT in the most open state in nation! Register."
He later corrected the tweet to note an uptick in applications.
The rally -- rescheduled for June 20 after initially being planned for June 19 -- will be Trump's first in weeks. Applicants are required to sign a waiver releasing the Trump campaign from responsibility from possible exposure to the coronavirus.
"By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury," a disclaimer reads.
Hillary Clinton tweeted Friday: "If your rallies come with a liability waiver, you shouldn’t be holding them."
In a statement, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt, a Republican, said the visit confirms the state is a "national example in responsibly and safely reopening."
This is incredible!
If people are willing to wait HOURS if not DAYS just to get into a Trump rally, you can rest assured that they will wait in line in person to vote on election day!
The #MAGA rally is so successful so far that the media is already trying to bash it.
They're calling it dangerous because of coronavirus, even though they encouraged nationwide protests.
The media also tried to say that the Trump campaign is racist for holding the rally on "Juneteenth."
However, it appears that this was a coincidence.
Furthermore, when the issue was raised, the Trump campaign changed the date of the rally out of respect.
If Trump is really as "racist" and "heartless" as they claim, then he wouldn't have changed the rally date.
But he did.
The New York Times confirms:
President Trump bowed to pressure on Friday night and announced that he would delay his upcoming campaign rally in Tulsa, Okla., rather than hold it on the day that honors the end of slavery in the United States and is considered a major holiday by many African-Americans.
The rally was originally set for next Friday, or June 19, the date known as Juneteenth, which marks the day in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Texas and read the Emancipation Proclamation announcing that slaves had been freed, the last of the Confederate states to officially receive the news.
The Trump campaign’s decision to hold a rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa, the site of one of the country’s bloodiest outbreaks of racist violence, generated vociferous criticism amid the national reckoning over race and justice in the United States following the killing of George Floyd, a black man who died after a white police officer in Minneapolis pressed a knee on his neck for nearly nine minutes. In a Twitter message shortly before midnight, Mr. Trump said he would move the rally to June 20 instead.
“We had previously scheduled our #MAGA Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for June 19th — a big deal,” he wrote. “Unfortunately, however, this would fall on the Juneteenth Holiday. Many of my African American friends and supporters have reached out to suggest that we consider changing the date out of respect for this Holiday, and in observance of this important occasion and all that it represents. I have therefore decided to move our rally to Saturday, June 20th, in order to honor their requests.”
Democrats pounced on the original timing to denounce Mr. Trump for disrespecting the concerns of those calling for major changes in American society to address racism and police violence. The selection of Tulsa had also drawn complaints given its history as the site of a 1921 massacre by white mobs attacking black citizens and businesses with guns and explosives dropped from airplanes.
“This isn’t just a wink to white supremacists — he’s throwing them a welcome home party,” Senator Kamala Harris of California said after the original announcement.
According to Republicans close to the president, the campaign was aware of the significance of the date once it announced the site but not before the site was selected. Once it was done, the campaign decided to move ahead, announcing the date before its contract with the event venue in Tulsa was even finalized, people briefed on the events said.
The reality is that the campaign is just excited to be hosting rallies again.
Oklahoma is a safe state for the president to begin his re-election campaign season before going into swing states, where protesters might attempt to disrupt the rally.
President Trump's willingness to reschedule the event proves that he is aware of these issues and wants to make sure people know that he understands their concerns!
