No, the crowd wasn't as large as hoped. Virus, you know.
What makes more sense is that people stayed away for more than one reason:
- Virus
- Fear of protesters
- Unrealistic estimate of needed capacity; there was never going to be 20,000
- Clearing the White House protesters and the Bible stunt turned people off
- Enthusiasm for Trump diminishing from 2016
- Why bother if Biden is going to win
- Probably
- Possibly
- Not necessarily. The ticket requests were very high.
- This is Tulsa. People in Oklahoma don't give a damn about protesters in Washington. If anything, the Bible helped.
- Maybe. But look at how many people The Dementia Patient had at his rally. 20. Handpicked.
- Still early. Very early.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Dozens of Secret Service officers and agents told to self-quarantine after Trump’s Tulsa rally

The Secret Service instructed employees who worked the Tulsa event to stay at home for 14 days when they returned from the weekend trip, according to two people familiar with the agency’s decision.

All of President Donald Trump's campaign staffers who attended his rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday are quarantining this week after interacting with several colleagues who later tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned.
"As a precaution staff who made the trip to Tulsa are working remotely, and they will be tested and return working to the office after that," said Tim Murtaugh, communications director for the Trump campaign, in a call with reporters.
After eight staffers tested positive, several of the campaign's top officials decided to quarantine for the week instead of going into the office, two sources familiar with the situation told CNN. Staff had only recently returned to the office after months of working from home because of coronavirus restrictions.
White House staff who attended the rally are continuing work as usual and are routinely tested.

Coronavirus Surge in Tulsa ‘More Than Likely’ Linked to Trump Rally
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/08/us/politics/coronavirus-tulsa-trump-rally.html‘A surge in coronavirus cases in and around Tulsa, Okla., is probably connected to the campaign rally President Trump held there last month, the city’s top health official said on Wednesday.
Tulsa County reported 206 new confirmed cases on Tuesday and 261 — a record high — on Monday, and Dr. Bruce Dart, the director of the Tulsa Health Department, said at a news conference that it was reasonable to link the spike to the rally and related events.
