      I mean, they were paying people to go to rallies and the inaugural, is it that beyond the pale to question if this is real?

          Here’s an instance in 2015.

          Here’s an example of his paying for a fake union rally

          Here’s another where workers were told they wouldn’t be paid for the day unless they attended a rally.

          I will admit I may have been duped about the inaugural, and his weird military parade nobody went to. Those were Craigslist ads too.

            Yeah, all of those were done through legit casting agencies or other organisations, and hired experienced actors.

            I still think it’s a joke, not because he’s above this, but because it’s not how his people have typically done this.
