A deadly pandemic and nationwide protests haven’t been enough to shake President Donald J. Trump. Amid all the drama and controversy, he has found the time to pat himself on the back and criticize anyone who stands in his way.
But in the latest rally held by President Trump (which took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma), there was a noticeably small crowd and on Twitter, NBA stars joined Trump critics to poke fun at his inability to fill a 19,000 seat stadium and his comments about “slowing down” testing for the virus.

JJ Redick, in particular, made sure to note size of the crowd.

According to sources, about 6,200 people showed up to the rally lats night — far less than the 19,000 seating capacity of the stadium.
While the lack of attendance is likely the result of multiple different things, support for the President has definitely dipped in the past few weeks and months. We’ll see if he can regain support in time for elections in November.
