    The Republican nominee visited a new campaign office in Hamtramck, one of the nation’s only Muslim-majority cities, and was joined there by Mayor Amer Ghalib, a Democrat who has endorsed Trump. Meanwhile, three city council members in the same town have endorsed Harris.

    “His visit today is to show respect and appreciation to our community,” said Ghalib, who presented Trump with a framed certificate of appreciation.

    Oh lord.

    I saw that in Tulsa, a bunch of teens reserved seats for the rally and didn’t show up. Creating huge blocks of empty seats lol. More people should do it to him just to piss him off

      This had nothing to do with anybody reserving seats. This rally was in Detroit. His supporters are generally not the type that will venture into an urban area braving big city traffic and pay $20 at a parking garage. There’s a reason he appears most often at county fairgrounds. His supporters are more the type to leave early to beat the traffic

        I went to a Ribfest in my city last week that made a Trump rally look like a daycare. Trump should just organize a Ribfest and he’d get more people showing up

    So… Where are the pics of this “empty” rally? I watched a video that seemed to have a thin audience in the background. If “empty” is the headline, should be pretty easy to show the pathetic crowd, right?

      The Express is a garbage UK tabloid news source now trying to make it in the US. I wouldn’t believe anything in it until I see it reported elsewhere, much as I enjoy stories about Trump rallies being dumpster fires.
