Trump Says ‘SO MANY People’ Showed Up to Greet Him In Georgia — His Own Team’s Video Shows the Humiliating Truth

What is it with Trump and Georgia?

It would seem as though that Trump doesn’t realize that Georgia is officially a “blue” state on the federal level. It sits in and among the Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee areas, so it should be red. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Stacey Abrams can only do so much, and she’s done it in Georgia.

But as Trump spoke to the Georgia GOP convention, even Republican Governor Brian Kemp didn’t show up. Neither did Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger, though that is a bit more obvious.

For some reason, Georgia Republicans aren’t as “into Trump” as they are in other areas.

Maybe it has something to do with Herschel Walker.

Trump, of course, is entirely oblivious, and so long as there is anyone present to worship him, he’s happy. But he’s also into “branding” and “showmanship,” so he has to make his presence look like an “event.”

Steven Cheung is Trump’s spokesperson, and so it is his job to make Trump “look good,” and he gave it his best try in posting this video yesterday, in which Trump bragged about the number of people who had come out to greet him.

Wow. It’s like the Super Bowl or a Beyonce concert!

But, ummm, even that shot was staged to make the crowd look bigger than it was. But the video on Trump’s own Truth Social account tells the real story, there were far fewer people than Trump’s camp made it “appear.”

And so Twitter just loves these situations where Trump is caught in eternal self-promotion but ends up with the perfect “self-own.”
