Relatively quiet in the arena. Then all of a sudden, an announcer says "ladies and gentlemen..." and the crowd ROARS... "the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump!" Long walk to stage. "USA" chant now.pic.twitter.com/n1le2EKZ9P

As you might've noticed, my tweets are a bit delayed because cell phone reception is shaky in here! He's in media-bashing mode now. Boos, then more boos. Some supporters turn around & point at us in the press pen.

I've watched so many of these rallies on TV, I find myself mouthing some of the words, predicting the next line. It's like knowing the lyrics of a song, except the songs are about "chain migration" and "finishing the wall"

Before Trump arrived, I heard a rallygoer talking to a group of others about the bomb suspect: "He was a LIBERAL! He was anti-Trump on his Facebook." She said "they" (didn't say who) "put stickers on his van, like, last night." The same woman then screamed anti-media sentiments.

That's a wrap at the Bojangles Coliseum. You know that feeling in your ears when you're leaving a concert? Yeah, that.

This gentleman came up to the press pen and mocked me, but then said "We love you. We do."https://twitter.com/timfunk/status/1055913158311923717 …

So what you are saying is that a lot of these people appear fundamentally normal but are susceptible to the influence of an inflamatory leader like Trump?
-
Nah. They’re saying “thank you for being here to broadcast our two-minutes hate” rally
-
What hate? Did you hear any of them threaten to get in the faces of Dems and scream "we don't want you here"? Did you hear threats to beat someone's head in because they don't agree with them. Do you see weapons and masks? Did you see any of them block traffic & attack ppl?

The hate the PRESIDENT vomits up at every rally. That hate. The anti-Semitic hate Blaine gets globalists and Jews for “invasions” which led directly to a massacre today in a temple.

My children would be in so much trouble with me if they were ugly to a person while with a group & then tried to ask that person for a favor while alone with that person. Completely unacceptable hypercritical behavior I would not tolerate

When you have time it would be helpful to get your thoughts on why this is. What's driving this odd, contradictory behavior? Why jeer and insult, and then ask for a selfie or an autograph?

Its a game to them, im guessing. Like watching a wrestling match.

And that makes it okay? You really don't hold people to very high standards, do you?

He's a reporter. He's reporting an observation. He's not sharing his personal opinion.

They’re glad you’re there because you amplify him. Perhaps you should think about that.
-
Bingo.... plus they feel guilty & want to let the reporter know that they themselves wouldn't hurt said reporter (but they would).
