Most media are fronting Trump’s promise of $5,000 to everybody if the Republicans somehow stop a Democratic ‘Wave’ win of the House and even the Senate…
But in the background?
That old problem for Donald the Entertainer….
Performing to a packed House….
It seldom happens….
It’s NOT happening in Dallas now….
Trump Always lies about the attendance for his events….
Then cries about it afterwards….
The Republican National Committee’s first-ever midterm convention in Dallas was intended to energize GOP voters ahead of the November elections and showcase President Donald Trump’s political agenda. But images and videos from inside the American Airlines Center showed empty seats before Trump’s first speech at the two-day event.
The convention comes as Trump’s polling is low among Americans who are frustrated with the state of the economy, the war in Iran and even Trump’s approach to immigration. With the midterms a referendum on the current administration, Republicans worry about losing control of the House and the Senate, making the last two years of Trump’s presidency likely ineffective.
Photos and video clips from inside the arena showed large sections of the arena’s upper deck sparsely populated at various points during the opening day of the convention….

Trump described the opening night of the Republican Midterm Convention as a “major, sold-out hit, far bigger, better, and more important than anyone thought possible” in a new Truth Social post on Thursday morning, claiming the event broke attendance records at the American Airlines Center and attracted thousands of people who could not get inside….

He wrote: “The place was packed!”
Trump also said its overall streaming audience beat the NFL, although he did not provide figures to support the comparison….
