Donald Trump Jr. headlined a rally on Thursday afternoon for Kentucky's Gov. Matt Bevin, but attendance at the event was reportedly so poor that organizers encouraged people to leave their seats and huddle closer to the stage.

The president's eldest son and his partner Kimberley Guilfoyle were rallying at Pikeville's Appalachian Wireless Arena in support of Bevin's re-election bid. Pike County is historically Democratic in its local politics, though tended recently to back Republicans as president.

According to WFPL reporter Ryland Barton, the event was "sparsely-attended" and "organizers have asked the audience to move out of the seats and closer to the stage." WFPL reported that around 200 people attended. The U.S. Census Bureau says Pike County's population is 58,402

The Lexington Herald-Leader described the Appalachian Wireless Arena, which has a maximum capacity of 7,000, as "mostly empty" for the Bevin rally.

Bevin's campaign and Trump Jr. did not respond immediately to Newsweek's requests for comment.

Looks like Jr Mint and his older girlfriend have none of the drawing appeal of his father. around 200 people...LOL.
I love the picture showing the crowd.

Fixed copied & pasted Newsweek title to shield someone from being triggered.
Half measures, indeed. He's still trembling with fear and outrage that someone, somewhere wants their balls waxed! :eek:

Sort of feel bad for Tiffany Trump. She’s the only adult child playing this right and now this off the record comment about her being too heavy to be in pictures with the President stuff.

When the president holds a rally (as he does frequently), thousands attend and many more cant even get inside. And they wait hours to get screened by the Secret Service to top it off! Thats enthusiasm!

When Americans finally wake up and they come looking with the torches and pitchforks I sincerely hope they let her go free.

Your assertion is nonsensical, at best. Perhaps it is because you disagree but are unable to properly express yourself. You may wish brush up on elementary school sentence structure and grammar.

Did you bust out your thesaurus to type up that response? The fact that you felt the need to change your writing style to such an extent to appear smart because you got your feefees hurt on an online forum is hilarious.

Insecurity in spades.

You are projecting your own shortcomings on others due to your feelings of inadequacy. I suggest taking your medication.
