I hope it's bad for his blood pressure. I want to see those balloon legs throbbing.
A deja-vue from his 2016 election...
Yeah, after his (s)election, he sent out Spicey in a suit it looked like his mom put him in to scream at the press about how it was "fake news" to talk about Donvict's flaccid crowd size:
"Diaper Daddy tells me his crowd size needs to be measured from the taint!!!1111 Any other measurement is FAYYYYK NOOOZ!!!111"
-- Sean Spicer, probably
About 200$in gas for me. More than a 1k night stay if you can even get close or a decent place. 20-30$ for fair food...per person...per meal. We wanted to make a DC trip for vacation this year. Decided on other locations until its not a hostile environment.
DC is nice, but I'd go in the shoulder seasons, it can be hot and humid, and if I'm gonna be somewhere hot and humid in summer, I'm going to need water nearby to jump into.
Other countries....geoblock those who went. They're either too dumb to be allowed to travel (think containment) or just evil (like resident evil).
"But another official noted that people could still not show up after obtaining tickets."

Tickets: https://events.freedom250.org/events/freedom250-fourthofjuly-event
It would definitely upset trump if lots of people used temporary phone numbers to buy up tickets and not attend, stopping other people from going, but I'm not sure it's necessary because it looks like it's going to be historically unpopular because it's Donald trump. Nobody actually likes him, they just like that he's racist like them.
