    How do we know that's true? Just because someone posted it?

    I posted it in another thread earlier because I knew it was 100% true based on doing my own research. Any questioning of it is fake news.

    Without doing any research I would guess that the people that are paid to attend and walkout are on the Democrat payroll. Whether or not that is the case I don't know, just a guess. I'll entertain that as a possibility until I see evidence that would indicate it's not true

    That’s quite the claim. Better chance they are tired, grouchy, want to beat the crowd and get home by bed-time.

    I've seen this claim now against both Harris and Trump. Shouldn't be difficult to provide proof if that were the case yet the people making these claims never have it.

    If people are willing to freely claim they're leaving because they got paid then where's the paper trail of how they were first contacted, stipulations for how/when they would paid, and proof of payment? For people making these claims that would be easy enough to fake but they don't even bother doing that.

    Accounts making these claims without proof are an easy block on Twitter for me.

    So what you're saying is there's not enough MAGA willing to attend his rallies so they pay people to fill the rest of the seats

    Yeah - I'm skeptical at best. Not that I'd put it past him - just that I'd need proof, not short videos with no context or timestamps.

    If this is happening, it shouldn't be hard to get people to talk.

    They worried about the NDA they signed for their 20 bucks or something? Doubt it.

    Eh, they look pretty MAGA. They are just bored by the same song being played for 35 years.

    Agreed. This would be easy to confirm. Somebody would provide proof and it would be on CNN. I call bullshit.

    If you think really carefully about what you are suggesting, the bullshit actually has a smell to it.

    Well trump claims that Kamabla is doing it. Every accusation seems to be a confession. lol. If this was true someone would be interviewing the people on the way out. It’s funny that no one is interviewing the people leaving anyway.

    I was absolutely sure he was paying attendees early on in 2016. But then the real crowds did come.

    I would not doubt he is doing it again.

    But the reality is he is just doing small "shows" now. Looked like the last one I saw was in a conference room that might hold 500 people.

    Crowds are small, people are leaving early, MAGA doesn't have the power it did in 2016 or 2020.

    Even Happy Day's got boring after awhile, and Trump jumped the shark a long time ago.

    I would have to assume that the offer would be made to a more than a few people who were assumed to be Trump fans, but were not, and some of those would have stepped forward with evidence--an e-mail, a text, or something. Or someone would need clarification about whether this is a scam or not, and would ask questions of a greater audience (like their Facebook friends) to find out, and some of those people would have circulated the offer to others. It gets harder and harder to keep secrets anymore, especially when large numbers of people are involved.

    Reminds me of Trump's announcement in 2015 with he and Melania going down the escalator at Trump Tower. To create the appearance of a large crowd the Trump Campaign engaged the services of an acting agency that specialized in providing extras.
    Donald Trump Campaign Offered Actors $50 to Cheer for Him at Presidential Announcement
    New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump’s event.

    “We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement,” reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “We understand this is not a traditional ‘background job,’ but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.” (Read the full email at the bottom of the post.)

    One thing to keep in mind, is anyone who did come forward like that would be the "enemy of the state" and Trump would send his goons after them, via Tweet of course. They would never be safe again.
