Now that he's banned from Twitter and limited to written "statements" he issues from exile, the malignant, seditious former guy is trying to gin up interest in his public appearances / speeches in order to whine about the election, attack his multiple foes, and spread the Big Lie about it being stolen from him. But according to reports, ticket sales to the upcoming Loserpalooza events (ironically named the "History Tour") with disgraced predator and jettisoned Fox propagandist Bill "O'Liely" O'Reilly aren't moving at a good pace:
"Donald Trump is having trouble selling advance tickets for his upcoming speaking tour with conservative pundit Bill O’Reilly, according to interviews with ticketing officials for the venues.
Early last month, Trump and O’Reilly, the one-time top Fox News host, announced a joint 'History Tour' featuring four stops in December. O’Reilly said his conversations with Trump 'will not be boring,' while the former president promised 'fun, fun, fun for everyone who attends.'” (our emphasis)
The only way it would be "fun, fun. fun" is if they discuss their sexual assault and harassment histories. But we digress:
"As of Thursday evening, Ticketmaster pages for the Orlando, Dallas and Sunrise events and the Axs page for the Houston event show wide swathes of available seats, with some large sections only having sold a few tickets.
The difficulty Trump and O’Reilly appear to be having in filling up stadiums may be a reflection of the times. After a year-plus on lockdown, Americans seem eager to reengage culturally while disengaging politically." (our emphasis)
OK, fair enough, it's probably true that political ...wait, what's that?:
"But former presidents — and even their spouses — don’t usually encounter hurdles in selling out their appearances and speeches. Tickets for Michelle Obama’s “Becoming” book tour in 2018, for example, sold quickly, with most tickets for her Chicago United Center stop selling out within minutes and the cheapest tickets for all the venues selling out in less than two days." (our emphasis)
Nice shade! There's more:
"Bill and Hillary Clinton’s joint Live Nation tour in 2018 and 2019, meanwhile, saw events sell out within a week or two weeks..."
For a malignant narcissist who only cares about his ratings / ticket sales / poll numbers, etc. this situation has got to be humiliating, and for his humiliation, we'd pay for a front row seat.
