By John Q. Hosedrinker It’s truly astounding how the crowd of supporters outside Trump’s trial was so pitifully small. It seems that when you aren’t busing people in or paying them to be there, the reality is that only about 50 ‘randos’ bother to show up. These individuals seem to be exactly the bottom feeders and knuckle draggers you’d expect to find in a crowd supporting the former president.
Looking at the photos from the event, it’s disheartening to see the type of people who turned up. From the guy in the blue MAGA hat who looks like he enjoys a few racial slurs every day to the ones making white power hand gestures, it’s evident that these are not the kind of individuals Trump would associate with in any other part of his life. They’re a stark reminder of the fringe elements that he has emboldened and attracted during his time in office.
For a man who loves to boast about the size of his crowds, Trump must have been sorely disappointed with the turnout. It’s laughable to hear him claim that, “Nothing like this has ever happened before. There has never been anything like it.” Clearly, his ability to draw in the masses has dwindled, and only a handful of diehard supporters bothered to make an appearance outside the courthouse.
The whole spectacle outside the trial was a sad display of blind loyalty and delusion. These people truly believe that Trump cares about them, yet the reality is that they are nothing more than pawns in his political games. The signs reading “Trump 2024, Save America” and “The Purge Begins, Tuesday November 5” are not only unsettling but also indicative of a group that may resort to violence in their fervent support for Trump.
In the end, the lackluster turnout outside Trump’s trial speaks volumes about the dwindling support and relevance of his movement. It’s a stark reminder that no matter how much bravado and bluster he may exude, the reality is that he is a fading figure on the political landscape. This trial should serve as a wake-up call for every American who values democracy and the rule of law, showing that blind allegiance to a leader who only cares about himself can have dangerous consequences. Let’s hope that the dwindling crowds outside his trials are a sign that his time in the spotlight is coming to an end. The lackluster turnout of supporters outside Trump’s trial is indeed telling of the current state of his following. It seems that without the tactics of busing people in or paying for their attendance, only around 50 individuals, who can be described as nothing more than ‘randos’, showed up. The images captured at the event painted a grim picture, showcasing individuals who embody the fringe elements that Trump has attracted and emboldened during his time in office.
The stark reality is that these supporters are far from the high-profile figures that one would expect to see rallying behind the former president. Instead, they are a motley crew made up of bottom feeders and knuckle draggers, whose blind loyalty and delusion are on full display. Their fervent support for Trump is not only concerning but also reflects a dangerous level of devotion that may lead to violent outcomes, as indicated by their ominous signs and gestures.
Trump, who has always boasted about the size and enthusiasm of his crowds, must have been sorely disappointed by the paltry turnout. His claims of unprecedented support and record-breaking attendance are nothing but empty boasts in the face of such a meager showing. The scenes outside the courthouse serve as a stark reminder of the waning influence and relevance of Trump’s movement, exposing the cracks in the facade of unwavering support that he has attempted to cultivate.
Ultimately, the lack of a significant crowd outside Trump’s trial underscores the diminishing appeal of his divisive rhetoric and self-serving agenda. It highlights the importance of upholding democratic values and the rule of law, especially in the face of blind allegiance to a leader who prioritizes his own interests above all else. As the crowds outside his trials continue to dwindle, it becomes increasingly clear that Trump’s time in the limelight is fading, and his legacy is being defined by dwindling support and waning influence. Let us hope that this serves as a lesson for all Americans, emphasizing the dangers of unchecked loyalty to a leader who cares only for himself.
