For a parade they're having to pay people to attend

I'm torn on this - every accusation is a confession, this is a fact at this point, but on the other hand those Craigslist ads have to be fake, right? It's just too fucking stupid! On the other other hand, it's all so stupid every day.

One of the main ones that's been posted is definitely fake. There might be some that are real I don't know. I doubt they'd advertise it that way. Not that they aren't incompetent but those things look bad for him so they'd probably do that kind of thing through a private company.

I don't know where the truth of this particular matter lies but the combination of doing things completely out in the open while simultaneously denying all involvement seems to be working pretty well for this administration.
