On Saturday, Donald Trump held his very first rally of 2023.
In, of course, Waco, Texas, which has become a hotbed of anti-government extremism over
the last 30 years.
But the rally, aside from the location and the obvious parallels between the cult of
David Koresh and the cult of Donald Trump, the rally did not go the way that Donald Trump
had wanted it to go.
Sure, he had a very big crowd.
There is no denying that.
But shortly after he got on stage, that crowd began getting smaller and smaller and smaller
until, according to reports, about 30 minutes in when a lot of people had already left.
These are people who literally waited outside for hours and the hot Texas sun just dying
to hear Donald Trump waited all day, cleared their calendars, and then he gets up on stage.
And at that point, I'm out.
I'm done.
There he is.
All right, kids, grab your backpacks.
We're getting the hell outta here so we can beat the traffic.
And this is not surprising.
This is what has been happening with Donald Trump in his rallies over the last year.
The man has nothing new to say.
He's not drawing in new people.
He has no new talking points unless you're showing up to find out whatever new nickname
he's gonna hit Ron DeSantis with that day.
Other than that, there is no reason for these people to be at these rallies, and that's
what they're all starting to realize.
Yeah, it seems fun at first.
Like you're waiting for a concert, you're in line, you know it's gonna be awesome.
And then when they take the stage, the instruments are out of tune, the singer's off key, and
you're just like, screw this.
This is my Saturday.
This is my day off.
I got things I need to do.
I'm not gonna sit here and listen to these same songs I know by heart when he is not
even doing a good rendition of them.
And that's what happened.
here is according to the, uh, Waco Tribune, Herald Trump arrived shortly before
6:00 PM as plane circling the airport as attendees intently looked at 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 headstart
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 and during traffic
and long lines.
Some said after hours on the tarmac, they were tired, hungry, or both, and wanted to
get home.
So you wasted all your energy doing nothing like it.
It it was more energy expensive for you to do nothing than to have to watch Donald Trump.
And you were willing to expend
That energy doing nothing other than standing there.
Like that was okay.
And then the guy starts talking and you're like, but this, this is unbearable.
I know this is what I came here for, but my God, this is awful.
So what does this mean for Donald Trump?
Well, I, I think it's very clear what it means.
One, he is not bringing in any new people.
He already proved, I mean, technically proved twice.
He really can't win an election with only the MAGA hat wearing idiots out there in America.
It simply doesn't exist.
They're not out there in large enough.
Numbers.
Two, the few people that do still like him, they're bored with him.
They're just going back to it because it's what's familiar.
And then as soon as they start hearing it, they're like, yeah, I am just, I'm not into
this today.
So these people are still gonna vote for 'em.
Don't get me wrong, absolutely.
But they're not gonna be energetic about it.
They're not gonna be enthusiastic about it.
In fact, a lot of them may wake up on election day and say, you know what?
Ah, I just don't have the energy to do it, because he's not energizing these people.
Donald Trump's one key to success with his campaigns.
Getting out there and energizing people with these rallies that power is gone.
And without that power, that man stands no chance at all of winning a general election.
