Trump Blames His ‘Stupid’ Staff For Letting People Leave His Rallies Early

Donald Trump is still nursing his hurt feelings after Kamala Harris said during the debate several weeks ago that people are leaving his rallies early. That line stung him so bad that he still feels the need to address it, even though most people would have forgotten about it by now. At a rally this weekend, Trump claimed that people aren’t actually leaving, it is just that his “stupid” staff is ushering them out so that they can go and take pictures with him (that never actually end up happening.) Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

As we all know, during the presidential debate, which was now almost three weeks ago, Kamala Harris encouraged people go to a Trump rally just so you can watch everybody leave early. And at that moment, Donald Trump went totally off the rails during the debate. He said, people don't leave early. Nobody leaves early. They wouldn't leave early. Nobody's leaving early. And then he has now spent the last two and a half weeks since that debate trying to convince everybody in this country that nobody leaves rallies early, because it totally didn't get under his skin when Harris hit him with that fact. And yes, for the record, it is a fact. We have seen videos, I have been talking about those video clips since two summers ago. We would show clips both here and over at my other channel, channel Fair and Balance. We would show clips of people leaving, walking out into the sunlight and heading to their cars sometimes as early as 15 minutes into Donald Trump's speeches. So we know that this is a thing that's happening. Nevertheless, Donald Trump told a crowd in Michigan over the weekend that these people are not actually leaving, right? 'cause it's still under his skin and bugging him. They're not leaving. What they're actually doing is listening to his, as he calls 'em stupid staff and going to line up for pictures. Here's what Trump said.

These people that you see leaving, nobody ever leaves. And when they do, I finish up quick. I couldn't take pictures at the beginning. So I take them at the end. Sometimes if I'm late, the plane gets late. You get delayed. Lots of things happen. There's, there's a little hurricane going on in Florida, as you know. What they do is they say, oh, please come up now, at the end of my speech, I said, don't do that. 'cause it looks like they're leaving. Like your husband who owns this place. He said, pointing at a woman, he's not leaving. He likes Trump very much. He made a lot of money because of Trump. Right, right. He, he did do that. He is like, right, right. And then he gets to the heart of it. But these stupid people that are with me sometimes, they say, come on back, 30 people, they get up and they go back and they're all lined up waiting in the back, waiting for me to take a picture because I couldn't do it before because I didn't wanna keep you waiting because you're much more important than the wealthy people.

The wealthy people get private audiences with you, and the wealthy people are the ones that actually get their pictures taken with you. 99% of the time you're not taking any photos with any of the people at your rallies. That is a lie. That is a verifiable lie. But what's funnier is that we also know it's a lie because it took you two and a half weeks to come up with it. If that were the case, would you not have said that during the debate? Like when Harris said people are leaving early, you could have jumped in and fact checked her and been like, hold up. No, no, no. What we do is we take pictures after, so we start corralling people into the picture

Area so that when I'm done, I can walk right in there and they're ready and we can go and I can move on. You, you didn't say it during the debate. You haven't said it in the dozens of times. You've mentioned it before that point, before that rally in Michigan. No. This is a brand new excuse that you have about people not leaving your rallies early. And again, you've talked about it a dozen times since she mentioned it at the rally, and this was the first time you had this excuse your excuses. Keep evolving.
