Just under 6,200 people attended President Trump's rally in Tulsa Saturday, well below the BOK Center's total capacity of 19,200, a public information officer for the Tulsa Fire Department told Forbes Sunday.

Why it matters: Trump's campaign had planned to turn the rally into a massive pro-Trump festival to energize his re-election bid amid the coronavirus pandemic and nationwide protests against police brutality. Campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted last week that 800,000 people had signed up to attend the rally.

What they're saying: The campaign is still celebrating the rally, saying in a press release that it attracted "over 4 million unique viewers across all of the campaigns digital media channels" and 2.5 million livestreams before the start of the rally.

-"The news media, which encouraged protestors and bombarded Americans for more than a week with dire warnings against attending a Trump rally, are still unable to prevent President Trump from reaching the people," campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh said.

-"These numbers represent unmatched enthusiasm behind the Presidents re-election and a massive audience that Joe Biden can only dream of.

"over 4 million unique viewers across all of the campaigns digital media channels"

That's one of the most pathetic boasts I've seen ever.

The Tulsa Fire department is run by CNN or something. Liberal agenda with dogs in trench coats.

If only 5 people had shown up, Trump's team would have spun it into a win while blaming the media.

I was just thinking that. It sounds like a WWE type boast to make an event seem bigger than it was.

LOL

Go

Trump

Go

The very first official statement the Trump Adminstration ever made was lying about the crowd size of the Inauguration

3.5 years later you're surprised they are still doing it.

---

Trump campaign: "We spent millions of tax payer dollars to set up a live-stream that reached millions of people!"
Twitch streamer: "I can do the same without spending a single cent!"

I get that people hate Trump. But what if his supporters thought it not worth the health risk I am staying home. And not a thing that he is losing support among GOP crowd.

---

Did they social distance once they found out there's a lot of empty seats?

Sounds like it was less popular than the PS5 reveal

It would still be bad that Trump is lying and bragging about it

The president routinely lying to the American people for 3.5 years is not something that should be accepted

---

So does this mean he will make future rallies live stream only?

His supporters literally think COVID is a hoax

Either way it's a win. Either tons of Trump supporters aren't stupid or he is losing momentum, I'll take either right now in the middle of a pandemic.

Lol @ that Stormy Daniels tweet

Wonder if having to sign that waiver turned any of them off.

Like "wait, Trump has been saying this whole time that it's not a big deal and the Democrats and the media are making it worse than it really is...did he lie to me?"

Korean baseball put cardboard fans in the stands. Sounds like Trump needs to do the same thing.

You're implying they have a level of self-awareness that would even allow them to have cognitive dissonance

At still only 6200 people that would mean a significant majority are not buying his messaging on covid-19, and as this thing gets worse it can only get worse for him then.

I'm pretty sure some high school football games have higher attendance in Oklahoma.

As someone who has been to many of them, you are correct.

---

Never a "that didn't turn out how we wanted, but we will make things better next time!" with this administration. It's good to be positive thinking but you know, to say every single thing is a victory is undeniably a head-up-the-ass thing.

---

Trump is about to get blown the hell out this November if this is the kind of turnout he can expect after his first rally in three months in a blood red state.

---

Low turn outs could mean a good amount of his supporters are just worried about covid.

Maybe they should have been offering haircuts with attendance

Not even some, but a lot. Football is a borderline religion in that area, towns literally shut down for big games.

Then that means even his supporters disagree about how he's handling COVID. This is good news for him how?

---

I wonder how much of this is due to the ticket pump.

---

Yesterday: all the rednecks in OK gonna catch the COVID at the Trump rally, lmao fucking idiots

Today: only 6200 showed up, lmao Trump is gonna get blown out

Less of his supporters get sick. Less of them get sick, less of them die. Less supporters die, the more can vote for him.

Zero. The Trump campaign gave out unlimited tickets on a first come first serve basis. They were expecting so many people that they planned an outdoor event for the overflow crowd. Instead, less than a third of the stadiums capacity showed up.

And they had to cancel the outdoors overflow event because only like a dozen people were there for it
