Despite the best efforts of Minneapolis’s goofy progressive mayor to stop him, President Trump held a huge rally last night, packing the Target Center in the heart of liberal Minneapolis with a boisterous crowd. Here is the whole rally — for your convenience I have it cued up to when President Trump takes the stage. He is preceded by Vice President Mike Pence.
For commentary, I’m gong to rely upon one of the more grotesque little fellows in lefty media, Vox’s Aaron Rupar.
Here is Rupar (who, looking at his photos has definitely had his guns confiscated) trying to launch a meme about the rally not being at capacity

Meh. Not so much.

Capacity was 20K and it was packed.

Aaron doesn’t like anyone making fun of Hunter Biden’s business acumen.

There is disapproval of Trump’s promise to observe term limits.

The reference to “some people did something” is distasteful.
My goodness — Trump is now diving into conspiracy theories about Ilhan Omar's marital status he read on a right-wing blog. Completely unhinged. pic.twitter.com/kjy3qCwK5i

Again, we see the left’s inclination to call facts that are inconvenient a “conspiracy theory” in order to avoid having to deal with them.
Trump's rally has bizarrely turned into an extended tribute to Fox News. Here he is shouting out just about every host by name. pic.twitter.com/dhPfKLDneW

Immigration talk also causes sadness.
Trump falsely claims "virtually every Democrat" supports "ripping babies straight from the mother's womb up to the moment of birth." pic.twitter.com/3dVo7NNfms

FACT CHECK: True. That is Democrat party dogma and pretty well describes the state law in New York and what Virginia’s looney-left governor tried to ram through that state’s legislature.
I haven't seen a single report of an injury and yet here is how Fox News is covering the aftermath of Trump's rally last night in Minneapolis pic.twitter.com/gHwECGeXgG

And he got his antifa on and dismissed the violence and assaults on rally-goers that were documented.
The rally was quintessential Trump. It was loud. It wasn’t terribly concerned with policy points. It was heavy on anecdotes. He took a jab at all the right people. He ridiculed Hunter Biden’s grifting.

He mocked Joe Biden’s sickening obsequiousness around Barack Obama, acting more like an Ottoman courtier than the vice president.

It fired people up. The Minneapolis police department, breaking from the rules they used under Obama, forbade officers to attend the rally in uniform. Those red shirts you see in the crowd are all “Cops for Trump” shirts the police union sold.
As usual, Trump flips the script when Minneapolis Mayor attempts to deny Trump security and cops during Rally……so funny! These shirts have flooded the venue!pic.twitter.com/xcizZtxnMr

While the Democrats fight it out over pronouns and sex change surgery for prisoners, this is what they will be up against.
Ugly, indeed. Just not ugly for America.
