He posted four tweets (via his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51685\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter ban defying spokes-shill<\/a><\/strong>) whining that the <em>&#8220;Fake News&#8221;<\/em> was misreporting the <em>&#8220;massive crowd&#8221;<\/em> at his latest rally in Georgia.

David Perdue, running against horrendous Governor Brian Kemp, who let the Election be Rigged and Stolen, is seeing a very big surge.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/trumps-georgia-rally-sees-smallest-crowd-state-since-2016-reporters-1692212\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Newsweek collected reports<\/a><\/strong> from correspondents on the ground who told a very different story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[T]here&#8217;s probably no more than 5,000 people here <em>[and that]<\/em> People keep leaving during Trump&#8217;s speech.

I think it&#8217;s red as hell&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump is effectively encouraging a voter boycott by Trumpian Republicans if his anointed candidate loses in the GOP primary. <em>&#8220;Okay, fine,&#8221;<\/em> say Georgia&#8217;s Democrats.

And his appeal to the cult members who populate his rallies is declining. That leaves only his social media presence that has been curtailed by his having been banned from most of the major platforms (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube). And the effort to launch his own Twitter clone is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52289\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">such a failure that even he doesn&#8217;t use it<\/a><\/strong>.
