Did you know that the people waiting at the escalator were all paid to be there ?

Trump's support was rent a crowd.

You are lying, dreadful fowl.

No. He speaks the truth.

Donald Trump‘s big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.

New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump’s event.

“We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement,” reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “We understand this is not a traditional ‘background job,’ but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.”

Here's the full email:

Quote:

We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement.

We understand this is not a traditional “background job,” but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.

This event is happening LIVE and will be from 8:45AM-11:30AM. LESS THAN 3 HOURS

This will take place inside / interior.

The rate for this is: $50 CASH at the end of the event.

We would love to book you if you are interested and still available.

Please let us know and we will get back to you with confirmation.

How many were actually booked?

100% correct.

Also, when Don Jr. visited Greenland recently he paid homeless people to go on camera and pretend that they liked his father - Donald Trump the rapist and convicted criminal.

The apple scammer doesn't fall far from the tree rapist.

"Donald Trump Jr.’s recent visit to Greenland has sparked controversy after allegations surfaced that his team paid homeless and economically vulnerable individuals to pose as supporters during public appearances. Danish broadcaster DR reports that multiple sources have confirmed the accusations, raising questions about the authenticity of his public reception on the island.

"According to DR, Trump Jr.’s team allegedly offered disenfranchised individuals free luxury hotel accommodations and expensive meals in exchange for participating in events and appearing supportive of Trump-related initiatives. The goal reportedly was to create an image of widespread local, grassroots support for the Trump family’s ongoing interest in Greenland, which has included discussions about its potential strategic value to the United States."

One source cited by DR described the arrangement as “cynical” and aimed at manufacturing a false narrative.

“These people were clearly in need, and they were used as props,” the source said.

Allegedly, eh? One source, multiple sources, allegations.

As credible as Yugo bots and content farmers here.

be an industry.

There seems to be quite a lot of people that work in the Trump industry, there must be hundreds of people that rely solely on Donald Trump for employment. Hundreds of utubers, legacy media pundits, public speakers, Comedians, reporters, talk show hosts, cameramen and many more.

Can anyone remember a single day in the last ten years where Trump has not dominated the news cycle. Everyone talks about him, there is even a disease named after his detractors. Books by the hundreds, Trump must be the most written about person to have ever lived. He is being engraved into history.

The only ones who truly rely on Trump are the grifters.

Comedians, speakers, journalists, whether new media or legacy outlets, have a vast array of material to work with. Sure, Trump’s antics make for low-hanging fruitm he’s a deliberate lightning rod, designed to provoke and grab attention. But the notion that all critique or commentary revolves around him is absurd. He’s convenient, not essential.

The grifters, however, need him desperately. These purveyors of misinformation and outright falsehoods thrive on the outrage economy. Their livelihoods depend on stoking division, spreading lies, and milking engagement metrics to push ads, merch, and affiliate schemes. Without Trump’s constant trolling to fuel their fire, they’d be left floundering.

Nobody cares who they are or what they have to say, unless they're talking about Trump.

Trump himself is the ultimate outrage generator. From the outset, he recognised the power of trolling as a pathway to free publicity. His strategy is transparent: provoke, divide, repeat. This is the bedrock of his popularity and why certain types are drawn to him. Among them are those whose lives are consumed by what many argue is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome.

A blind, fanatical devotion that sees any criticism of him as a personal attack. For some, this manifests in extreme ways, including acts of violence or even domestic terrorism under the guise of defending their idol.

So while Trump may simplify certain jobs, be it comedy, commentary, or criticism, the only people truly dependent on him are the grifters who exploit his base and further radicalise its most unstable elements.

Your attempt to frame this as some kind of badge of honour for Trump reeks of the unhealthy obsession you’re projecting onto others. That relentless need to reframe everything he does as a success? It’s not just misguided, it’s a glaring symptom of your own case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

You are a peerless moron and a despicable turd.

Deranged to a spectacular degree. Ignorant, vehemently malicious, lacking all sense of proportion. Mad and mendatious.

Surely even you can admit, that there are a vast number of similarities between Trump, his campaign and his plans once returning to office, that mirror the elements that started Hitler's movement or even actions he took directly?

It's probably true for short periods when he's on task, but that was clearly not the norm, he's 82 ffs.

That said, can you provide any links to such reporting?

You know, just to ensure you're not spreading misinformation yourself Wink

Moronic nonsense.

Trump is a response. You morons ignore that.

And if you are probed on WHY Trump has emerged, you all go yeah but not no but mongs.

WHY has Trump - Meloni, Orban, Wilders, Le Pen, AfD etc, etc - come to the fore?

Please explain.

be an industry.

There seems to be quite a lot of people that work in the Trump industry, there must be hundreds of people that rely solely on Donald Trump for employment. Hundreds of utubers, legacy media pundits, public speakers, Comedians, reporters, talk show hosts, cameramen and many more.

Can anyone remember a single day in the last ten years where Trump has not dominated the news cycle. Everyone talks about him, there is even a disease named after his detractors. Books by the hundreds, Trump must be the most written about person to have ever lived. He is being engraved into history.

The only ones who truly rely on Trump are the grifters.

Comedians, speakers, journalists, whether new media or legacy outlets, have a vast array of material to work with. Sure, Trump’s antics make for low-hanging fruitm he’s a deliberate lightning rod, designed to provoke and grab attention. But the notion that all critique or commentary revolves around him is absurd. He’s convenient, not essential.

The grifters, however, need him desperately. These purveyors of misinformation and outright falsehoods thrive on the outrage economy. Their livelihoods depend on stoking division, spreading lies, and milking engagement metrics to push ads, merch, and affiliate schemes. Without Trump’s constant trolling to fuel their fire, they’d be left floundering.

Nobody cares who they are or what they have to say, unless they're talking about Trump.

Trump himself is the ultimate outrage generator. From the outset, he recognised the power of trolling as a pathway to free publicity. His strategy is transparent: provoke, divide, repeat. This is the bedrock of his popularity and why certain types are drawn to him. Among them are those whose lives are consumed by what many argue is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome.

A blind, fanatical devotion that sees any criticism of him as a personal attack. For some, this manifests in extreme ways, including acts of violence or even domestic terrorism under the guise of defending their idol.

So while Trump may simplify certain jobs, be it comedy, commentary, or criticism, the only people truly dependent on him are the grifters who exploit his base and further radicalise its most unstable elements.

Your attempt to frame this as some kind of badge of honour for Trump reeks of the unhealthy obsession you’re projecting onto others. That relentless need to reframe everything he does as a success? It’s not just misguided, it’s a glaring symptom of your own case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Moronic nonsense.

Trump is a response. You morons ignore that.

And if you are probed on WHY Trump has emerged, you all go yeah but not no but mongs.

WHY has Trump - Meloni, Orban, Wilders, Le Pen, AfD etc, etc - come to the fore?

Please explain.

Good show, dear boy. Why has your One Nation prophetess come to the fore?

We could go all honest and explain the role of Vlad in election meddling and the propagation of fake news, but why bother with that?

Truth is so 2016, no?

No, you're here to sell such fake news. It's just what you're here for.

If we didn't have you, dear chap, we'd have to make you up.

Always absolutely never ever.
