WASHINGTON, DC: During his speech in Pennsylvania on Saturday, June 22, Donald Trump received criticism from both liberals and conservatives for what they perceived as an insufficient crowd, according to Raw Story.

Notably, in the past, Trump has placed a lot of emphasis on the attendance figures at his contentious political rallies as a measure of his popularity.

Trump rally in Pennsylvania gathers some empty seats

In addition, Trump has been charged with manipulating the figures from his divisive speeches.

Chris D Jackson, the Democratic election commissioner for Tennessee, who has previously presented evidence suggesting that participants at Trump rallies in Nevada were receiving payment for their presence, has shared a video claiming that there were vacant seats at the event.

In a video shared on X, he wrote in the caption, "Look at all those empty seats in Philadelphia. Old man can't even fill a high school gym fill anymore. Sad."



 

Notably, in Philadelphia in 2020, Joe Biden garnered 603,970 votes, while Trump earned 132,740 votes, according to Pennsylvania Capital Star.

During the rally, Trump said, "If you want to save America, get your friends, get your family, get everyone you know and vote. Vote early, vote absentee, vote mail-in, vote in-person, I don’t care how they vote, just get out and vote."

Notably, speakers before Trump primarily focused on the economy and the border, while he made crime the centerpiece of his speech for the evening.

He once talked about his support for school choice, which has been a major issue of conflict between Republicans and Democrats in the state Legislature as they work out the budget, and proposed a 'fight league' for immigrants to the country.

Trump made his second visit in Philadelphia and his fourth appearance in Pennsylvania thus far this year during his rally on Saturday. To promote his new line of shoes bearing the Trump name, he gave a brief speech at SneakerCon in February at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Internet mocks Donald Trump for few emptied seats during Pennsylvania rally

Several internet users trolled Donald Trump as he received criticism for attracting an insufficient crowd during his Pennsylvania rally on Saturday.

Some online comments read, "Trump's upper bowl is completely empty," and "No sharks in sight!"

A user wrote, "Hands, crowd size…this all seems to confirm what stormy reported," while one added, "This is the guy who claims he had 60,000 people attend his rally in a 6,000 seat venue. It's like magic."

Another said, "Why don't you try offering free beer? Oh wait, that won't work, MAGAs hate getting "free stuff"."

A person also stated, "People who are deficient in small hands ways tend to over compensate," whereas one mentioned, "DT has been giving the same boring old tired old BS speech for 8 years."
