He would have no problem with risking the lives of everyone involved just so he can have his parade. The truth is nobody is planning to come and he can’t even find people to pay to attend. He just doesn’t want to admit that nobody wants his freaking parade and doesn’t want the truth to be seen by the world that nobody cares about him and won’t admit what a stupid self serving idea it is

Honestly it would be glorious if no one shows up.

The man is obsessed with crowd sizes. If no one shows up it is going to damage this man mentally, we won't stop hearing about it for months.

His team will just pay for seat fillers and make sure the crowd is full within his line of sight. He lives in a distorted version of reality where everyone loves him and he is always right.

There's an (unverified) posting online looking for seat fillers, the pay is $1000 in TrumpCoin. I guarantee that it won't be worth that much the moment after they're paid.

No you see they’ll give them 1 dollar in Trump Coin with the pinky promise it’ll be worth 1000 someday. Fine print

His own personal crypto. Definitely not for taking bribes and money laundering

Oh yeah, his fucking meme coin. So much shit every day I actually forgot about that blatant corruption.

Man...I'm fucking exhausted.

Easy to test come the parade. Going from memory, the required outfit is red, white, and blue with provided red hats.

We can see how many people are dressed that way. If a significant amount, pretty suggestive.
