According to multiple witnesses, the audience grew bored quickly and tried to make for the exits, only to be blocked by Trump's security guards who wouldn't let anyone leave. Farron Cousins explains why this is a bad sign for Trump's latest run.

So Donald Trump, of course, as we all know, made his big announcement Tuesday evening that he is in fact running for president. Then, of course, during the speech, he proceeded to play his greatest hits from the last few years, and very quickly the crowd got bored with it. In fact, a lot of the analysts watching Donald Trump's speech said it sounded like Trump himself was bored with it. So what did the crowd do? Well, the answer is nothing. They wanted to leave. Multiple different reporters who were present on the scene in the room were snapping pictures showing us that people were lining up at the exits trying to leave, but were being prevented. They were essentially being barred from going to the exit by Donald Trump's security guards. They told people there, according to the reports, that nobody is allowed to leave until Donald Trump is done.

He was essentially holding these people hostage saying, you will listen to everything I have to say, and until I am done talking, no one is allowed to leave. Um, very dictator ish, by the way, but there's a reason for this. Think about it. This was not just the security guard. Suddenly like, oh, no, people are trying to leave. What do we do? They clearly had been told ahead of time, don't let people leave, because I think deep down, Donald Trump and all those people knew that crowd didn't wanna stay there. They weren't gonna wanna stay there and listen to what Trump had to say. So they had to make plans in advance. Okay? I think that's the thing that a lot of people are missing about this story. This didn't just happen all of a sudden, they knew that people would want to leave, so they came up with a plan ahead of time to make sure that couldn't happen.

That is remarkable. So the big question is, how did they know so many people were gonna try to leave early? The answer is very simple. Have you been paying attention to the rallies that Donald Trump has put on for the last six months? I know we've talked about multiple different ones here, right? Right on this channel where you've seen video of people filing out of auditoriums. When Donald Trump starts talking, typically about 10 to 15 minutes into his rally speeches, people say, all right, I've had enough. I'm outta here. He's just saying the same crap. We heard him give this same speech in Toledo. He just gave it down in Atlanta. He gave it down in Palm Springs. Why am I listening to the same, same, same thing. So the people at Malago basically had the same reaction after he made his big announcement. They're like, all right, cool. Yeah, that's what we wanted here. Uh, where's the buffet? Uh, this this guy's, this guy's telling me I can't let, I'm stuck here.

What do you mean I gotta stay for this whole thing? Trump spoke for more than an hour, by the way, more than an hour. Those people had to stand up in formal wear. Just listening to Donald Trump rant and rave about things that have been widely debunked for many years now, it's torture, but it's torture that everyone in that room deserved. Okay, let's talk about that for a moment. You signed up for this. You attended because you wanted to hear what this man had to say. So by God, you had to stay there for every second of it. That is your own personal hell, okay? You made your choices that led you to that point, and dang it, you're gonna live with the consequences whether you want to or not. Those security guards, in my opinion, were doing the Lord's work. You wanted to hear this man talk? Well, guess what? Time for the ironic punishment department, because you're gonna sit here and listen to every word he has to say. I don't care if you need to leave to go to the bathroom. Hold it. Suck it up a little bit, folks, because nobody's going anywhere while Donald Trump is speaking. They deserve that. But again, gotta think. It's kind of funny that Trump had the foresight to know that people didn't wanna stay for the whole thing, because clearly those guards knew in advance what to do to make sure nobody left the building.
