Crowd At Trump’s Texas Rally Began Leaving After 30 Minutes: Report

Based on the behavior of the crowd that showed up for failed, one-term, twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s Saturday rally in Waco, Texas, the 2024 race for the White House could wind up being a rocky one for the disgraced ex-president.

According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, large numbers of the MAGA faithful began heading for the exits after just 30 minutes.

Trump arrived shortly before 6 p.m., his plane circling the airport as attendees intently looked to the heavens. He wrapped up at 7:32 in the evening, though quite a few fans did not last that long.

About 30 minutes into the rally, the crowd began to thin, with people getting a head start on the walk back to the parking lots, designated and otherwise. Several leaving early said they accomplished what they wanted to achieve by showing up for the rally, enduring traffic and long lines. Some said after hours on the tarmac, they were tired, hungry or both and wanted to get home.

Since when are the Trump fanatics thinking about being tired or hungry when their tangerine savior is speaking?

Then again, maybe it was the speech itself, which was a litany of worn-out grievances and racist tropes, including the usual bullshit about how the 2020 election had been stolen (minus any tangible proof) and anyone who tries to indict him is actually attacking his supporters.

But it sounds like much of the fervor for Trump and his noxious rhetoric has begun to die down. Maybe because people are sick and tired of the same old shit. Or maybe because even he doesn’t actually have his heart in another run for president. After all, the only reason he’s running is so he can try to forestall the inevitable prison terms that are on the way.
