Trump blasts Biden over 'total surrender' in Afghanistan at massive Alabama rally
2021-08-23
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] At the Save America rally Saturday in Cullman, Alabama, former President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
 blasted the Biden crime family administration
...knaves, footpads, and adjusters employed by the Biden Crime Family. They leave a trail of havoc everywhere they turn their attention, be it the nation's borders, the Keystone XL Pipeline, or epidemics, sometimes on purpose, most times through sheer arrogant ineptitude. They learnt this stuff in college, you know...
 over the Afghanistan disaster.

Taking the stage at York Family Farms before an estimated crowd of 40,000 attendees drawn to the area, Trump ripped into President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
's foreign policy disaster in Afghanistan. "This will go down as one of the great military defeats of all time. It did not have to happen that way. This is not a withdrawal. This was a total surrender, a surrender for no reason," Trump declared.

Trump said he "dealt" with Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
's de facto leader, threatening: "Anything happens, we are going to reign terror upon you ... Don't touch our American citizens. Don't ever come to our country."

"The scene of those big giant planes taking off with people hanging on the sides and falling off. There'll never be anything like that.. This will go down as one of great military defeats of all time. It did not have to happen that way."

#6  Not suggesting the crowd vid was hinky. Just riffing off AlmostAnon's sarc on a subject of nerdly interest. Although, you would be surprised at what a skilled compositor can do with footage.

#5  All that is harder to do in videos than static photos. We have a video here.

#4  A couple things to look for in crowd pix:
With sparse crowds, was the pic taken *before* the venue filled up?
For big fake crowds, you can often see repeated groups or patterns of people where the 'photographer' used the clone brush to add in some extras.

It is possible to go full Hollywood set extension mode to add people and buildings. It looks great but takes money and time so you will not see it as part of the regular news cycle.

Obviously a doctored photo, Orange Man can't have that many supporters in the whole country, MSM told me so!
[sarc off]

#2  Had no idea the crowd was that large. Watch part of it on Newsmax and crowd shots were scarce.

#1  When the US invaded Afghanistan to go after Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden I felt we had no friends there. 20 years later, as Biden bungles the draw down and thousands upon thousands swarmed the US planes begging to leave with us, I realized our young men and women in uniform had won the hearts, the minds, the trust, and became close family to the people of Afghanistan.

God Bless our Troops. You did good.
