Donald Trump failed in Tulsa because he ignored overwhelming advice: "Do not go there".
Trump had a meltdown and yelled at aides backstage when he realized how empty his puny rally in Tulsa was a failure.
Tulsa World wrote an editorial to warn Donald Trump about the political risk he was exposing himself to by holding a rally in the BOK Center during the increasing spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump yelled at aides backstage at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when he realized how low the turnout was for his rally there on Saturday, The New York Times reported on Sunday.
About 6,200 people showed up to the 19,000-seat venue, despite the Trump campaign's confident assertions that nearly 1 million people had expressed interest in the event.
A person familiar with the discussions told NBC News that the president was already frustrated that news coverage of the rally had been dominated by the revelation that six members of his campaign team tested positive for the coronavirus. (Since then, two more workers have been diagnosed. In fact, 8 people actually tallies to 16 because of contact testing. Everyone who is diagnosed with COVID19 has potentially infected at least, minimum, one other person.)
He was warned on Air Force One about the disappointing audience numbers but boiled over when he saw for himself how empty the venue looked, The Times reported, citing four people familiar with what happened.
Four people told the paper that Trump yelled at aides when he saw the sparsely filled seats from backstage. NBC News reported that multiple people close to the White House described Trump as "furious."
Advisers told The Times that Trump's mood rallied as he gave the two-hour address on stage but that he appeared deflated afterward.
Citing officials with knowledge of the events, The Washington Post reported that Trump fumed on Air Force One on his way back to the White House and through the rest of the weekend.
Widely shared video footage showed the president arriving at the White House with a dejected expression, his red tie undone and a "Make America Great Again" cap in his hand.

Maine Writer post script: Donald Trump has failed to make anything great again. He is a failed human being.
