Watch as Trump Is Booed for Being Over Two Hours Late to His Texas Rally

Really, what are we supposed to expect?

On May 18th, it was the 44th anniversary of the eruption of a volcano in Washington state. But social media also erupted that day.

People were both amused and outraged that Trump couldn’t be bothered to show up to his engagement in Texas on time. In fact, he was more than two hours late, and his absence was noted by more than a few people.

As you might expect, Meidas Touch editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski weighed in, taking note that Trump was “now 2 hours and 15 minutes late.”

Despite the slanted polling in the media, Trump seem to be losing supporters, not gaining them. I mean, it’s not like he’s going to pull anyone from the left, but he’s been focusing on keeping his faithful and attracting independents.

We just reported on his attendees leaving his New Jersey rally while he was still speaking, and now we have people leaving because he can’t get to the event on time. He’s far too busy.

“This is the man, 25-30 percent of Americans think is the most fit to lead the free world. #MAGAMorons will destroy America from within,” said one user on X. I think that’s probably a vast overstatement of how many people are still in his camp.

I think, in fact, that Trump is driving away even the faithful.

That would be a disaster to the former president, but not surprising. The only reason he had a first presidency if because he appealed to racist, sexist men’s basest urges.

We’re talking about the guys who have a #FJB vinyl sticker on the back of their truck’s cab. You know the ones.

But he’s not going to be able to keep this up much longer, and I don’t just mean the facade. After he was accused of basically shutting down for more than half a minute like he was frozen in time, he hit back:

“My Speech in Dallas this weekend at the NRA’s ‘Endorsement of President Donald J. Trump,’ was attended by a Record Crowd of very enthusiastic Patriots. The Biden Campaign, however, put out a Fake Story that I ‘froze’ for 30 seconds, going into the ‘Musical Interlude’ section, when in actuality, the 30 to 60 second period of silence is standard in every one of my Speeches where we use the Music. Check out any of my Speeches! The reason they came up with this Disinformation is that Biden freezes all the time, can’t put two sentences together, and can rarely find his way off the stage without help. Donald Trump doesn’t freeze! It is a MADE UP Biden Campaign story, put out in a dying Newspaper that I never heard of, and every Reporter knows it, including the large group that was there.”

Just the random capitalization of words should tell you everything you need to know.
