So no actual Eagles fans showed up, so it looks like Trump got all the interns and government workers out for a "crowd", talked about himself, poorly mumbled words to patriotic songs he didn't know, and got some pictures of himself taken.

What a fucking shitshow.


There was a large crowd of people on the South Lawn on Tuesday, though it was unclear how many people attended or whether they were the same people who had been invited originally.




As the U.S. Marine Band and Army Chorus played the National Anthem and 'God Bless America,' President Trump was seen heartily singing along with the rest of the crowd and mouthing most of the lyrics.

In an email sent to staffers earlier in the day, obtained by ABC News, the White House Management Office urged all staffers to come attend the event to "honor our great country, pay tribute to the heroes who fight to protect it, and loudly and proudly play the National Anthem."

After the playing of the anthem, one unidentified attendee could be heard shouting, “stop hiding behind the armed services and the national anthem,“ but was quickly cut off by boos from the audience.

Trump got his fees fees hurt, and bungled yet another event, having paid staffers fill out a crowd for a photo op instead of working.
