Low-Energy Trump Gives Up on Pathetic Speech in Minnesota After Just 21 Minutes Because He Was Limited to 250 Supporters

The biggest reason that people often recommend getting Donald Trump out of the damned White House is that he gets his energy from the crowds that adore him. His self-absorption is so complete, that it is the only thing that keeps him going “the rally.” But now, it seems like even a big enthusiastic audience can’t do it, is it because he knows he’s about to lose?

Trump rarely gives a speech that’s under 100 minutes (maybe that’s something he learned from the Hitler book), and yet in Minnesota, last night, a “very tired looking” Trump held a 21-minute speech and decided he had had enough and left.

What?

NBC News reports that the event was limited to only 250 possible viral vectors and perhaps that depressed the old boy, not as many people to whom to show off? Perhaps. According to Rawstory:

ABC News producer John Santucci said, “I’ve never seen Trump look less interested.  “This is about half his average speech length, and he often goes much longer when he’s into the crowd (nearly 90 min in Tampa yesterday),” LA Times White House correspondent Eli Stokols report

NBC News reporter Garrett Haake said, “Maybe it’s the small crowd. Maybe it’s the cold. But this is the lowest energy I’ve ever seen the President be at a rally. He’s blowing through his applause lines, just checking the boxes on his usual speech, like he’s got somewhere to be.”

“Trump appears very tired at this rally in MN, slowly moving through his prepared remarks,” CNN’s Jim Acosta noted. “People of Twitter reminding me he was up at 3 a.m. tweeting.”

That is right, that’s the night before when he was complaining about the SCOTUS decision 4-3 in the Pennsylvania election case!

Whatever it is, it is not good. He only has 2-3 days left to rally the MAGAs. The last few days are about turnout. He needs them excited to turnout to vote. If HE can’t appear excited, then he is he supposed to make them excited. So again we ask, does he know something we don’t? Some internal polling? Does he know he’s fried?

Peace, y’all
