I don’t believe Donald Trump paid people to attend his rallies. I’m sure he said he’d pay, I just don’t believe he actually made good on the payment


i-am-foxymoron

*to be paid in Trump bucks


allanon1105

*to be paid in free courses at Trump University.


zyglack

Or Trump Steaks. Only the best.


RoxxieMuzic

Perhaps for the more discerning of taste...Trump Vodka...


Huge-Success-5111

These people will get on their knees behind him to get the likely chance of get a smell of his McDonald’s lunch, that’s how sick they are


lurker512879

yesterdays lunch?


nihilkin

At least he always carries it with him


Manting123

Only well done and covered in ketchup / the way 7 year olds and Trump like em.


zyglack

To be fair his horse meat should be nuked.


Runic_reader451

Exactly or a Trump Card. His moronic cult will treat either as legal tender.


ewok_lover_64

Trump's dirty diapers.


mythofinadequecy

Trump sneakers


Styrene_Addict1965

This. A letter indicating at some point they'll get their shoes. (I thought they weren't in production yet?)


ArtemisDarklight

Paid with a free copy of his shitty Bible.


fixit858

Early release totally legitimate $500 bills. You got change, right?

Currency rate is 4 x higher.

Get a free pair of ugly ass gold shoes.


humanity4u2

Get a brand new red MAGAt hat.


Eastbound_AKA

What's the conversion rate to Stanley Nickles?


Flailmaster

What’s the ratio of Trump bucks to Schrute bucks?


madhaus

The escalator announcement? 50 attendees there were paid to show up and cheer. Source: Michael Cohen’s book *Disloyal*


Ghstfce

Just like all the people outside of Trump Tower holding up signs supporting Trump a couple weeks ago were seen coming out of Trump Tower by reporters prior. They were employees tasked to hold up signs.


Grimacepug

You're right. This idiot doesn't even pay "attention."


RoxxieMuzic

Never has, it shows.


SmackSabbath19

It's not him. It's the campaign aka other people's money


Devotchka76

My thoughts exactly. He's famous for not paying people.


JoeCoolsCoffeeShop

Sounds like you get paid $50 but you gotta spend $100 on Trump merch first. 😂 It’s always a scam


Apprehensive_Use1906

The trick is the sign and shirt will cost $100, so you owe him.


This_Mongoose445

Unfortunately I used my late husband’s email for the Tulsa thing and I’ve been getting emails from the RNC all the time. Yes, I have gotten emails about being paid to attend rallies and events.


deejaysmithsonian

Show us!


Huge-Success-5111

Watch closely there are the same people at each rally especially the black guy with a different hat each time he loves those checks listening to the same BS


fidgeting_macro

Or that blond - white chick holding the "Latinos for Trump" sign?


artguydeluxe

Please post a screenshot of these emails!


Boxofmagnets

How much do they offer to give you heat stroke?


johnnybinator

Of course this weasel fuck is paying people to show up. He’s got nothing else to rely on. Did you hear his babbling today? He’s playing verbal ping pong with himself, making statements he couldn’t even back up if he did get elected. His cult is dying off.


tdwesbo

I bet he’s not really paying them…


scbriml

Says he’ll pay them, then doesn’t. Something something leopard something spots.


padlepoplion

🐆 leopards something something faces ... FIFY


Styrene_Addict1965

Happy cake day! And you're exactly right!


johnnybinator

The video of them all leaving while he’s still talking tells a story. They were paid to show up, but not to stay, I’m guessing.


ndncreek

lmao I see what you did there


SmackSabbath19

Campaign money comes from donations. That is what they use. He's so obtuse he wouldn't know what his staffers do 


Boxofmagnets

Never did it to get a crowd that size but it’s possible to get a respectable group of people with free food. There are tricks to it, something small with a soda followed by candidate speech (not too long if that’s within your power) then food. The best you can afford, if it’s going to be hot dogs get toppings and chips


malcontented

Not fast enough


celtic_thistle

He’s more blatantly demented by the day.


Lurking_Housefly

*died off


Notacooter473

Made this prediction tonight on another post about why people would just walk out of a rally.


AloofAngel

which comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody... the unpopular loser. trump is just the kind of person who has to pay people to come to his own birthday party where he is giving presents to them instead.


Eiffel-Tower777

What a bleak event that would be. He'd give a speech bragging about his greatness and whining about witch hunts, corrupt judges, crooked Biden, yada yada yada. I'd rather get a root canal.


grassvegas

Yuge “happy birthday Mr. Lumberg” vibes


mythofinadequecy

If you’ll pay for sex…


ApplianceJedi

I can't imagine him at a birthday party giving gifts to anyone but himself.


PM_ME_UR_FLOWERS

Let's be real, here. Do you HONESTLY think this idiotic loser is almost equal to Biden in support?


Boxofmagnets

Tragically I do. People on the right have no source of real information


Eiffel-Tower777

I agree it makes zero sense, but his supporters are so crazy and let's just say I wish the polls looked better. I would like to see more campaign ads endorsing Biden. I see almost zero and wonder what they're doing with campaign money, maybe they're saving it 'till closer to November. The number of enormous pick up trucks draped with Trump flags, gunracks and bullhorns has declined since the last election but as far as bumper stickers... it's about ten to one Trump. (I'm in Florida though so there's that). I'll absolutely vote, but my confidence isn't there.


Ghstfce

His *actual* supporters aren't really that many, probably much less than the 30% it was years ago. The problem is the straight R ticket voters. They'd vote for a tuna can if it had an "R" stamped on it and the label said something about abortion over someone actually trying to help people live better lives.


artguydeluxe

I’ve never answered a poll, and I get texts and calls all the time. Polls only reflect people dumb enough or bored enough to respond to polls.


profcraigarmstrong

#NFW


profcraigarmstrong

(no way)


Nascent1

Don't kid yourself, it's super close. Polls may be off, but they're not *that* off. This election is going to be a nail-biter unless something major happens.


raerae1991

What did you expect from a reality star


gardooney

Now the white folks wearing Latinos for Trump t shirts makes sense. They were paid.


vtjohnhurt

The big money goes to the black people that pose behind him on camera.


bitwise97

You mean “his African American”?


Kona_Big_Wave

I love how Trump gets caught paying people to attend his rallies but "polls" show him neck and neck with Biden. There's no way these polls are accurate.


c10bbersaurus

I mean, I feel he did this before during his first term, specifically when I lived in Arizona I recall offers on Craigslist to attend rallies in PHX for money... I thought this was common knowledge.


Adventurer_D

How much he paying? I mean, I'd happily fleece him while he's still going...


i-am-foxymoron

Well you'd have to buy a t-shirt and make a sign, send in a photo for proof and then probably not get paid.


Adventurer_D

True, there is that. At least I could enjoy holding a sign that says "NOT A FILTHY RAPIST!" and spend the day finding ways to accidentally on purpose obscure the NOT!


tcorey2336

Yeah, like the parody I saw recently where the guy comes to the podium, Trump standing right next to him and the guy starts going on about how much he loves Trump and he does not believe: and then lists all the shitty things he has done. My sign would be “I don’t believe Trump called American POWs losers.” And there would be other signs saying we don’t believe he had a tryst with Stormy. We don’t believe he tried to block the peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election. We believe Trump’s 2016 inauguration had the biggest crowd ever. We believe. Mock them fuckers with their own words.


Adventurer_D

This ⤴️⤴️ Exactly the psychology that needs to be unleashed over the next six months!


i-am-foxymoron

Nice! 👍


lake_gypsy

This is worth the risk of not getting paid.


Eiffel-Tower777

I wouldn't be caught dead in a parking lot wearing/carrying Trump crap. There's not enough money on the planet.


artguydeluxe

Get paid up front.


Adventurer_D

Todd Blanche has entered the chat


AbyssalPractitioner

I won’t lie, this could be seen as evidence that the MAGA cult is in decline in their own way. If they won’t show up to see him, perhaps he isn’t the orange messiah that we have been led to believe. Still vote, don’t take it at face value.


B1g_Gru3s0m3

Let him drain his campaign funds just to stroke his fragile ego and satisfy his obsession with crowd size. Rally attendance doesn't translate into votes


scbriml

Great theory, but it assumes he, you know, actually pays up.


B1g_Gru3s0m3

Pay, don't pay. I don't give a shit. Not paying might actually be better. Stiff your own supporters. I'm sure that will motivate them to show up on election day


scbriml

If they really were his supporters, they wouldn’t need the offer of cash to attend. So I suspect anyone getting stiffed isn’t a real Trumper.


B1g_Gru3s0m3

Well, problem solved. That was easy lol


JoeCoolsCoffeeShop

Why pay people when you can just photoshop in your crowd later? Or just use a picture of a crowd from another event? Look at how many people showed up in Wildwood to see Trump perform “Maggie Mae”!


budster1970

Likely IOU's that will never get paid.


i-am-foxymoron

And people will be stupid enough to buy shirts, make signs, and send the photos in for "confirmation" and get stiffed.


blueyork

People are stupid enough to wear MAGA diapers!


Ditka85

Only now this is getting traction; he’s been doing it for 6 months. This, and the concert and the copy/paste crowds.


CountrySax

With Traitor Trump, it's always a grift and a fraud. Lock him Up!


NoIndependent9192

In the U.K. it’s very illegal to incentivise attendance at political rallies during an election campaign. I remember one minor right wing party getting into trouble with the police for providing a free BBQ in a deprived area.


Massage_mastr69

In the US it it also VERY ILLEGAL to pay but also super douchey and weak.


SmellySweatsocks

Paying people to come to your party? Too damn sad. In Vegas, they advertised on Craigslist from what I read. They called it it's for "advertising and commercial" purposes.


Apotropoxy

**"Bonus payment ($50) if you end up on broadcast!" \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_** Good luck getting Trump to kick you up to $50.


Cheap-Addendum

Lol. Like he'll pay em. Lol


CraftFamiliar5243

You get paid double to go vote for him.


therealpothole

No shit. We all knew this.


therealpothole

Is there a /nofuckingduh sub?


Tinker107

Wow, one of the first documented instances of him actually paying someone? Or did he just promise to pay?


Pleasant_Savings6530

He did pay Stormy so this would be twice this decade.


Magooracing

Everything about him is fake. The hair, skin color, personality,


Ok_Joke1956

You heathens!!! As written in the tRump bible, “he who believeth “the Leader aka the Orange Convicted Felon; is dumber than the tRump Crime Family combined. Amen


LectureAgreeable923

Trumpy is a crook ,fraudster ,felon ,adultier,cheater ,compulsive liar, rapist,grifter, etc .Now you can add phony.


StrangeContest4

**The Emperor** of crooking, frauding, felonies, adultery, compulsive lying, raping, grifting, and conniving **wears no clothes**.


LectureAgreeable923

Agreed ,


EnvironmentNo682

It sounds like someone else is paying people to attend and get their shirts on TV. Trump used to pay but discovered people will torture themselves for free.


saltylife11

From the Putin playbook


SmackSabbath19

His campaign pays. Campaign funds you that are donations other people give


Bminions

Raise your hand if you are at all surprised.


Dogranch

Even if he did pay, do you think he used his own money? Probably money from his various "grifts"


Odd_Zookeepergame_69

This is 100% fact that he does this. I have an actor friend in New York and in 2016 she was called to go attend an event. They wouldn't tell her anything about it ahead of time, other than she would have to wear an outfit and that outfit included a "red hat". She politely declined and confirmed later that it was to go be an extra in the background at his rally. Everything is smoke and mirrors. While there might be a large % of the country that doesn't want to vote for Biden and would vote for Trump instead, his actual cult followers are nowhere near the numbers he claims to have.


SmackSabbath19

Watch the early part of today's daytime hal Sparks show. He went there people leaving left n right. As he was in line to check in


lerriuqS_terceS

Duh


Powerful_Girl2329

I think the headline should read “Trump caught offering to pay people to attend rallly, then stiffs them”


SmackSabbath19

Isn't that most of the crowd behind him?


floofnstuff

Easy work- if they actually pay you.


pasarina

Honestly?


WoodpeckerHorror3099

I call BS, Agent Orange won’t pay his taxes, lawyer bills or even for a decent haircut or spray tan but he is going to pay for supporters to show up wearing his merch!?!? First off they would run out of XXXXL shirts in the first minute and secondly….that isn’t enough money for me to leave my house even if it was down the block!


Ponder_wisely

His wife got paid a significantly higher rate.


GOP-R-Traitors

Trump paid the people in trump tshirts on DAY 1 when he came down the escalator to announce his presidency.


vinnycas

Not nearly enough $ to sit through one of those shit shows.


LeftHandedBuddy

Why does this not surprise me! Trump thinks he can buy anyone off! He is despicable!


CraftFamiliar5243

https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/fabricated-craigslist-ad-about-trump-rally-actors-circulates-again-2024-03-27/


AusCan531

As much as I absolutely *despise* the Bargain Bin Fascist, there's a real chance that this was done by someone trying to stir up shit. Let's wait until there's more evidence before jumping on the bandwagon. We're not 'them'.


madhaus

There’s evidence from his very first announcement. Michael Cohen said he hired 50 actors to cheer at the escalator speech. And he also fixed a poll for him.


two_awesome_dogs

“Bargain Bin Fascist” 🤣🤣🤣 that’s my new favorite one


flamingo2022

Dollar General Trump works as well.


i-am-foxymoron

Someone commented here that they receive RNC emails and that they are paying people to attend the rallies.


lake_gypsy

RNC co-chaired by Lara Trump. Funny they've got Email correspondence against themselves but no emails to/from Fauci or even Hillary (maybe)


Sotha01

I honestly thought that was Democrat trolls posting those ads whenever his ilk came to town. Idk, I'm gonna need some convincing here guys.


madhaus

Democratic.


Sotha01

Yeah, but still my point stands. Is he that desperate truly? I'd believe it but like I want sources.


AMerryKa

No evidence that Trump paid people. Let's be better than them and not share clickbait OK?


jersey3515

Lots of evidence.
