K-Pop Stans Teamed Up With TikTokers To Completely Troll and Ruin Donald Trump’s Tulsa Rally

Current United States President Donald Trump held a rally earlier in Tulsa, Oklahoma to a crowd far smaller than he expected, thanks to K-Pop stans and TikTokers.

Donald Trump held his Tulsa rally on June 20, and according to his campaign officials, over 1 million people registered their attendance at the rally, with local officials stating that 100,000 of those registrants would be in physical attendance at the rally. Donald Trump himself also acknowledged the high volume of requests for tickets for his rally.

Almost One Million people request tickets for the Saturday Night Rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma!

However, it was revealed that the majority of tickets reserved were done by a massive team of K-Pop stans and TikTokers from around the world, leading to the President believing that many people wanted to listen to him. In reality, the audience in the stadium was only around 50% full, and the overflow area outside the venue was nearly empty.

Several prominent politicians and personalities, most notably New York House of Representatives member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, voiced their appreciation for both the K-Pop community and Tiktokers who tricked Donald Trump.

KPop allies, we see and appreciate your contributions in the fight for justice too 😌

Imagine Trump announcing a total shutdown of K-pop until he figures out what the hell is going on pic.twitter.com/5A9bdVFRwP

Shout out once again to all the Tik Tok teens and K-Pop stans who hit Trump where it hurts him the most tonight. Absolute legends, all of you.

Did gazillion teen kpop fans really just metaphorically pull down Trumps pants on national TV – in the process exposing the incompetence of his team? While also leading Parsale to waste money on an outdoor stage that no one would use? If so…you guys are unbelievably awesome!

So there is a good deal of Twitter chatter that part of why the crowd outside and inside the Tulsa Trump rally is that KPOp fans requested masses of tickets to plus up Trump’s expectations with no intention of showing up. Either way, anemic nunbers for Trump in a deep red state. https://t.co/anxmdy5Dbq

what I’m hearing is that a combination of kpop fans and native oklahomans bought up rally tickets to get trump’s expectations up, all with no intention of attending, is that what is happening right now, because if that is true, that rules

To all of the amazing TikTok Zoomers and KPop stans who amazingly trolled Trump by reserving almost 1 million tickets to his #TulsaRally, many of you may be too young to vote, but you can make a huge impact in the 2020 election. Please continue your social influence.
We love you!

Would read a story about (thousands of? Hundreds of thousands?) teens and kpop stans who reserved tix for the Trump rally and possibly flooded the campaign with garbage data.

Others are thanking the K-Pop community, and even asking for recommendations for K-Pop songs to listen to.

Dear Kpop fans who helped make Trump sad: I have a sixteen hour drive in my near future.

Fill my playlist.

Taking suggestion in replies. https://t.co/CXA8w77v7O

Sources state Donald Trump is working on figuring out what happened, what caused his expected massive turnout to be drastically lower than projected.

According to @axios's @jonathanvswan, who interviewed President Trump yesterday, and has been speaking with campaign sources, "There's a scramble to figure out what happened."
