0.0005% equals a group of 10 people in a crowd of 20,000, which is roughly the seating capacity of the Tulsa arena. (One million people have requested tickets (snort) for Saturday's MAGA rally, so we know it will be packed.)
Later on, when 10 people who attended the rally later die from COVID-19, will Trump say a "vast, major" portion of the crowd that came to hear him died?

Sean Hannity was right. Donald Trump could cure cancer & the Fake Media wouldn't give him credit. Today @realDonaldTrump cured AIDS. I think he also cured Ebola, Cop Murder & Racism. So more many miracles coming our way in next 140 days from the great one. @seanhannity #Biden2020 https://t.co/oS6BqxKESj— Tom Arnold (@TomArnold) June 16, 2020

Every expert warns event it's a perilous health risk and yet Trump is plowing ahead anyway. And for what reason? Because he desperately needs a political rally to boost his spirits. No other reason.

“Vast, major, very good part of Seattle has been taken over” POTUS says. Last time I visited #CHOP it was about six square blocks and a public park in one neighborhood with peaceful protesters. According to census data, Seattle = 11,512 blocks. That’s .0005212% of the city. 🤔 https://t.co/DfQ5ZP5yx4— Matt M. McKnight (@mattmillsphoto) June 16, 2020
Our President will do anything to avoid listening to the voices of millions of Americans asking for change. He instead distracts with lies and language purposefully intended to incite violence.
