He is sick - Trump to hold D.C. rally on Jan. 19, the day before his inauguration

President-elect Donald Trump will hold a rally-type event on Jan. 19 at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., just ahead of his inauguration, according to multiple sources familiar with the planning.

Capital One Arena, home of the Washington Wizards basketball team and Washington Capitals hockey team, can hold approximately 20,000 attendees. The "Make America Great Again Victory Rally" is scheduled to kick off at 3 p.m. ET, according to a sign-up link from the Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee.

Trump is set to be sworn into a second term in office on Jan. 20.

1. It's bizarre.

My guess is that he wants to take up all the hotel space in D.C. with his supporters to cut down on rooms for protestors.

Oh, and MAGAs, if you're upset about Trump's bromance with Musk, here's your first opportunity to send a msg. by staying home.

[Omnipresent]

3. Whether it is the 19th or even inauguration day..

His crowd size is still going to be small.

[BoRaGard]

19. He wants to interfere with the Women's March

He's got issues.

d'oh.

[Ms. Toad]

28. That's the 18th,

And it's a bit late to plan something a day later to interfere with a march that has been planned (with blocks of rooms reserved) for months.

[ExoticMei]

52. New here!

The womens, now People march should all keep their rooms for one or 2 more days just to send a nice F you to him. So rooms can't be taken by trumpers.

[Ms. Toad]

62. The ones my relatives reserved required a 3-night stay.

Pretty sure they are staying Thu-Sat nights, since they have to be back for school on Monday.

And welcome!

[ExoticMei]

63. Thank you 😊

Does that mean they will have their rooms still? Hehe...I wish there was a whisper campaign for lib folks in DC to do that, and we heard about the results..

[Ms. Toad]

66. Pretty sure they are planning on driving back on Sunday,

So it depends on when the rally goers want to check in. If they are coming in the night before to get there early for the rally - they might have a problem getting a room at a reasonable cost.

[ExoticMei]

67. Now, that...

Is still a nice though...mmmm
Thanks.
Sane and safe New Year to ya. Thanks for talking to me.

[Rebl2]

64. That's

what I figured.

[DENVERPOPS]

46. Him worrying about reality of crowd size

He won't even have it in a much larger indoor venue, or a large out door arena, that he might not fill. Or outdoors like last time where photos of crowd sizes of other gatherings can be compared to his so called "record crowds"

What a pathetic little man with TWPC showing in everything he does......(Teenie Weenie Peenie Complex)

[gab13by13]

2. Someone else figured it out,

The usual grifting for money, but also hoping those people will attend the inauguration to make his crowd larger.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yes he was obsessed with crowd size the first time around.

Made his press secretary lie about the size, saying it was much larger than it actually was.

Don't need to be Sigmund Freud to figure out what this is about.

[SledDriver]

17. Always so obsessed about the crowd sizes...

Wonder what that's about?

[Irish_Dem]

20. Insecure in the bedroom.

[Beringia]

21. Funny, someone posted about the weather pattern coming up reminds me of

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219869084

[Beringia]

29. Maybe you men will get some of your manliness back LOL

[DENVERPOPS]

47. He tried

to get Stormy Daniels to say the same thing, and that backfired............

[travelingthrulife]

4. Hoping for counter protests to kick off his martial law?

Stay home for this people. Don't give them what they are itching for.

[malaise]

25. Fuck that

People have the right to protest

[Wild blueberry]

45. Of course we do

I'm protesting by not going, not watching, in fact a news blackout. Make his crowd tiny.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Another opportunity for an assassination attempt?

To give him a “mandate” to declare martial law the minute after he takes the Oath of Office.

[sop]

10. The rally should be held at Ford's Theater in DC.

[Justice matters.]

35. The felonious rapist has just got his Reichstag fire moment he lies

on X about all day and all night to justify his upcoming fascist regime takeover.

Never mentions he killed the Bill... (although not related to the NO massacre) how convenient...

[yellow dahlia]

51. Good thought.

Whatever he is up to - it will NOT be good.

[sop]

7. Trump will say and promise things at this rally he can't during his inauguration address.

It will be an ugly, violent, racist, hate-filled liefest.

[Rebl2]

65. He just

wants an adoring crowd to show up as he delivers his crappy speech 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

[Johonny]

8. I kind of assume he will keep holding rallies

He can't lead or legislate. But he loves to blovate to crowds. I suspect by the end of Spring lots of rallies and golf dates.

[Bettie]

22. While Elon and Peter Theil

run the country....into the ground.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

70. Why would he stop now?

Status quo. Plus, he can't live without his repeated ego fests.

What a pathetic excuse for a man.

[multigraincracker]

9. I see a massive storm rolling in on that day.

[malaise]

12. We can hope

😀

[Unladen Swallow]

11. He's expecting massive protests and unrest

on the 20th, and is simply pre-deploying reinforcements for his team.

[yellow dahlia]

53. Only he would want unrest on inauguration day.

A day that is normally held up as esteemable. A day of ritual and pomp and circumstance.

He has no desire to be the "president" for all Americans.

[Unladen Swallow]

56. I didn't say he wants unrest.

I said he expects it. And will have people in place and available. Its going to be volatile beyond comprehension. I hope we get through it without major incident, but I am not optimistic.

[Lovie777]

13. I hope there's adequate security in DC..

MAGAs are violence, hateful and easily prompt to physically harming others that have opposite ideas.

[Drum]

68. And I feel sorry for every service worker there, once that hoard rolls in.

[Dennis Donovan]

14. Since it's the day before the inaugural, all of MAGA's VIP's will all be together in one big building

Once they're in, can we chain-lock the doors?

[3catwoman3]

37. Is it wrong of me to fantasize about a Designated Survivor event at wherever...

...this location might be?

I would choose Pete Buttigieg as the designated cabinet member.

[MiHale]

60. No not at all...

I’ve been doing that scenario for weeks…just thinking.

[eShirl]

15. he should go overthrow himself

[malaise]

18. LOL

If only😀
Happy. New Year!

[milestogo]

16. I heard this morning that he likes campaigning better than governing.

He knows nothing about the latter.

[ificandream]

31. The campaign crowds add to his ego.

[Attilatheblond]

42. And marketing is the only thing he can do, or so he thinks.

[CrispyQ]

23. I want to barf.

Eight fucking years of this asshole front & center, sucking the oxygen out of the room & now we have four more years. Unless he croaks. I'm hoping for that. Just croak you sick fuck.

[imanamerican63]

24. I wonder if the usual culprits will be there too?

All of minions of crime filled agendas?

[Marthe48]

26. maybe he'll shave a few days off William Henry Harrison's record

as shortest serving president. I'd be pleased if he held title to that record.

[sinkingfeeling]

27. His ego can never be satisfied.

[Attilatheblond]

43. Yep, a black hole in a skin bag

[underpants]

30. Preparations are underway but this is in a Sunday - the day before MLK Day

I don’t think the timing is just about his crowd size for the next day. This seems like a screw you to Federal workers.

My 2 cents.

[Katinfl]

32. He has to make it all about him.

All the time. He needs the crowds (?) cheering for him. That is his life blood. He will keep holding these rallies for the next 4 years because he needs them to feed his ego. He does not care about running the country, leave that to his clunkiest. He will be nothing but a figurehead, a puppet…….just like the last time, only the stakes are greater this time. We are in for a hellish 4 years folks…….we must be tough.

[70sEraVet]

33. He shouldn't be allowed to be sworn in, until he has paid his bills....

for all of his campaign rallies. That should be a Campaign Finance law.

[Attilatheblond]

48. And have to pay ALL court judgements against his cheatin' ass

[James48]

34. I bet the Secret Service is going to LOVE that.

A whole another major event to guard.

That’s gotta be painful.

[twodogsbarking]

38. You are correct. Give them all the day off.

[spanone]

36. K&R

A fucking moron in search of adoration, non-stop.

[Emile]

39. It's all part of the big con.

[Bobstandard]

41. Get your tickets here!

Here’s a link to what may or may not be the actual site to request tickets for trumps rally and inauguration events. Note that, like everything else MAGA , it may not be the actual site but some Trump adjacent scammer’s attempt to horn in on the action . It is definitely a way for MAGA operatives to build their email lists and, who knows, recruit MAGA snitches.

However, there’s also a good chance signing up for tix you don’t want and would never use will gum up the works. So I’m gonna hold my nose and give it a shot using an old anonymized yahoo.mail account that I never check.

[barbtries]

44. i'm curious

have they mentioned the march planned for 18Jan2025?

I'll be marching on that day in LA.

[Initech]

49. Seriously, fucking shame on Capitol One Arena for allowing this.

Madison Square Garden should be ashamed of themselves as well.

[yellow dahlia]

50. I am concerned that he is trying to get his minions and pretend militia

into D.C. Perhaps to be of some "support" to him. Maybe as his "militia" on the 20th?

Or what if he wants them to come in early to be there on the 18th as well, in order to disrupt the Womens March on the 18th.

No mater what, there is a sociopathic grifter agenda....as always.

[Vinca]

54. This could all go really, really, really, really south. His ignorant thugs will show up and people might be

hanging around DC after the People's March to watch the show. Next thing you know JimBob whips out his AK since Trump doesn't like his fans to be subject to going through magnetometers

[Traildogbob]

55. Did we forget?

His entire first term was KKKlan Jamborees and Golf.
All on our dime. He started new rallies immediately.
Carnival barkers gotta bark for cash.
My grandad was a carny. My dad did a lot with him when young. The Conest of con men. Everything’s a scam.
We think Elooon and Varny and the Cave women gonna cut any of that useless spending????

[PJMcK]

57. Trump is weird

He's also sick in the head.

He's also stupid.

[Ping Tung]

58. Great. We'll be bossed by a boss who is only interested in advertising himself as a "somebody".

And, shapes his policies based on what most the rubes cheer the loudest.

[Norbert]

59. Hoping the Alberta Clipper attends the event and sticks around a while

[Kid Berwyn]

61. Hitler's gotta Hitler

69. Influential far-right blogger Curtis Yarvin and his Passage Press is throwing a "Coronation Ball" Sunday

night, January 19, on the eve of the Inauguration. It doesn't explicitly state that Trump will be there. But Yarvin is a major influence on Vance, Bannon, many of the architects of Project 2025, and others surrounding Trump. I suspect many of them will be there, and will be surprised if Trump can resist being there too. Just the sort of event he loves.
