Beau's got a point. They crowded them together instead of spreading them out for safety.

The Trump campaign missed their chance to promote safety with the smaller than expected crowd. Apparently they weren't thinking about people's safety.

I don't think the Trump campaign was not aware of what was going on with the TikTok set. I think they wanted to crow about these big numbers of ticket requests and through they they would get plenty of people to show up to make it look like a big crowd with plenty of overflow.

The story isn't that they got trolled by TikToc, it's that they misjudged the crowd that they could actually draw.

I only wish Trump had actually done what he said he might do and found an even bigger arena to hold this rally in. Could you imagine if they had ditched Tulsa for Norman and held it at Owen Field? That place is massive and holds 90k people not counting what you could put on the field. It would have looked like the place was absolutely emply.
