The world is still waiting to find out the real reason why Benedict Donald canceled this weekend's North Carolina rally at the last minute. The claim was that they couldn't land in bad weather — but the nearby airport was not shut down, and the storms didn't roll in until hours later. Was he upset that only about 400 MAGAts had turned out for the show?
That seems plausible, because he's reportedly also unhappy that throngs of Trumpy true believers haven't shown up at the Manhattan courthouse to protest his current criminal trial, either. As The New York Times reports in a very fun article today:
"Over the last week, demonstrators visibly identifying as supporting Mr. Trump — with red hats or clothing, or banners and flags — have never totaled more than a dozen. On most days, the number of people total in the portion of the part designated for protesters for or against Trump has never been more than two or three dozen. They have included tourists, locals coming to gawk, more than a few supporters of Mr. Biden, and proponents of conspiracy theories — including Max Azzarello, the man who...self-immolated on Friday."
It sounds to us that in a nearly full-employment economy, everyone must be too busy working to spend days wearing goofy outfits and waving Trump flags outside court. Or maybe the bloom is off the Donald rose? We cats are wondering when the media are going to really start paying attention to how small a slice of the American pie Trumpism represents. In the meantime, we PURR.
