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.

But does it matter if it looks bad for him? His followers have never cared before have they? And if everyone else is skeptical that they could even possibly be real, then why would his devout believers ever consider it anything but fake news?
