Donald Trump may have declared he was running days after the 2022 election, but his enthusiasm this time around appears just as limp as his crowd sizes.
Raw Story reported earlier this week that Trump has been booking smaller venues for rallies so that the rooms look packed. Larger venues have empty seats.
"I was thinking about you on Saturday night. It's the SNHU Arena across the street from where I am now. It's a big sports arena, they do hockey games and basketball games stuff there," John Heilemann explained to "Morning Joe" on Monday. "We were there together four years ago, Willie [Geist], you, me, [Mike] Barnicle. We were all out there, there was a huge snowstorm. It seats 10,000 people and it was packed to the gills in 2016. The other night here, there were empty seats all over the arena."
He explained, "it was way less than half filled, and even in the lower level, you could see just seat after seat after seat with no one in it."

Now, Trump is refusing to travel for people donating to his campaign.
Puck News reporter Teddy Schleifer revealed a new invitation for a fundraiser in Greenville, South Carolina, next month.
"This is yet another fundraiser hosted by Donald Trump where he doesn't actually travel to see the donors — the donors come to him," said Schleifer in a social media post.
