    I love how Trump needs fake enthusiasm from people behind him. Anyone saying "wait what" about things he says gets removed, and apparently banned by the fucking secret service.

    The dude is creating literal fake news by forcing people to be a certain level of happy.

    See, they had the Schutzstaffel, the "Protection Squadron".
    Trump will have the Squadron (of) Protection, the Staffelschutz.
    See? Totally different.

    I wonder what the contract says for the people he hires to stand behind him, and pretend to be happy.

    More specifically, I wonder if those people actually expect to be paid.

    The mistake is hiring people who speak English and can understand some of what Trump says when he occasionally sprinkles some English in.

    So he didn't even voice disagreement, but literally mouthed something and that was enough? Horrifying. I can't even rant about freedom of speech because they didn't even say anything! This is mental!

    Even the slightest implication of questioning is simply too much for their extremely thin, fragile, cracked glass echo chambers.

    They expect to be paid, but Trump is Trump.

It was a stunt, it was caught and dealt with, that's the beginning and end of it.
    Its an odd thing. You can consider the background crowd as a group of actors. But you don't necessarily want the viewers to know they are actors. So doing what they did, basically openly exposes the lack of authenticity of the back ground crowd.

    So, I ponder which is worse? Keeping up the charade and let the guy make faces, or expose the farce of the crowd?

    This is a common practice for most politicians. Those crowds are people who are asking to cheer at every little thing. Sometimes, they pack those people really really close together so it looks like the place is packed, but if you turn the camera around and look at the viewing crowd, there would be a 1/2 filled venue.

    This isn't exclusive to Trump, it's actually pretty commonly done. The removal of the veil is the unique part of this situation. It isn't common, rare even, that people are swapped out on Live television.

    The problematic part is that the secret service got involved, not that he was asked to leave...

    I'm mostly just shitposting about the king of calling out "fake news" using people to show fake enthusiasm behind him. If it was someone like ted cruz doing it and the situation happened, i would just be saying something along the lines of "lol a troll got in there gj dude".

    That is indeed a problem. But i'm not surprised that our xenophobic president would have such a thing happen.

    Maybe not all of them voted for Trump?
    It is illegal to know in any case.

    Trump couldn't sneeze those, much less pronounce them.

    No, it will be the Presidential Guard, Secret Service. PGSS for short.

    I think the problematic part, is Trump supporters and Trump jr making claims of crisis actors, while Trump literally hires actors to cheer for him.

    If you think about it, Trump supporters that are not getting paid to support Trump, are kind of like illegal immigrants. They are lowering the salary of actors who are cheering for Trump. If they demanded equal pay to the actors, I bet the actors would get a better salary, instead of just 50$.

    Edit: I think this story is a nice one to compare with this one:

    Disgraced ex-congressman sits behind Trump at rally
    https://www.cnn.com/2016/08/10/polit...lly/index.html

    But sitting behind Trump was ex-congressman Mark Foley, who resigned in disgrace in 2006 after sending sexually explicit messages to underage teenage boys.

    "When you get those seats, you sort of know the campaign. You sort of know the campaign," Trump said at the rally in Sunrise, Florida. As Trump upbraided Clinton for having Mateen in the stands behind her, Foley smiled, applauded and even waved at Trump.
    So... having a strange look on your face, is something Trump can control. Having a former congressman who resigned over sending sexually explicit messages to teen boys... well:

    ”How many of you people know me?" Trump asked those seated behind him.

    Foley, visible just to Trump's left, quickly raised his hand in response.
