What if you held a pro-Donald Trump, pro-Muslim ban rally and nobody came?
On Saturday, a rally was held in Portland, Maine. It was billed as supporting the alleged president and his Muslim ban, but at the end of the day, only eight people showed up.
Trump supporter Doug Prevost explained why the rally had been organized in the first place:
“I’m just kind of letting you know there’s another side to the story. Letting people know [Trump] has an awful lot of backers behind him.”
An awful lot of backers, Doug?! Really? So if there’d been seven instead of eight, it would have been a failure? Come on, man!
As you might expect, social media got wind of the “rally” and severely skewered it:
More people showed up to my birthday party and I'm realllly unlikeable. https://t.co/969D9N4cGU

Oh, and one other thing: A rally opposing the Muslim ban which was held in Portland, Maine, a couple of days earlier drew over 1,500.
