President Donald Trump gave a campaign speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on Saturday evening in his first comeback rally since the coronavirus pandemic began.
But what was supposed to be a rally with a large turnout turned out to be a rally with mediocre turnout — which gave left-wing politicians and celebrities on Twitter license to mock Trump for the less-than-expected turnout:
Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID
Shout out to Zoomers. Y’all make me so proud. ☺️ https://t.co/jGrp5bSZ9T

Others mocked the content of the speech itself, including Trump’s bit about giving a graduation speech at West Point recently:
Trump blamed walking three blocks, saluting, the sun, his shoes, making a speech and the ramp itself for why he couldn’t walk down a ramp. #TrumpMeltdown #TulsaTrumpRally #TrumpRally2020 https://t.co/iDzMMdzeal via @politicususa
