NEW from me:

Over the weekend, The Daily Mail published a piece about the "thin crowd" at Trump's Ohio rally. By Monday, any references to the small crowd had been quietly excised and the reporter's byline was removed.

Daily Mail Quietly Scrubs Article About Trump’s ‘Uncharacteristically Thin Crowd’
Trump whined on Truth Social about the right-leaning tabloid’s “obnoxious reporter” and her dispatch on his rally’s visibly less-than-sold-out attendance.

The Daily Mail quietly scrubbed its own dispatch from former President Donald Trump’s Saturday rally in Ohio, removing all references to the “uncharacteristically thin crowd” at the event.

The right-leaning tabloid wholesale excised several paragraphs from the story without any editor’s note or update and the reporter’s byline was removed and replaced with generic “DailyMail.com Staff Reporter” byline. The headline was also completely changed to a more neutral framing of Trump’s event.

The Daily Mail did not respond to a request for comment.

The piece as originally published featured Daily Mail politics reporter Elizabeth Elkind’s in-person coverage of the Trump rally in Youngstown, where he stumped for GOP Senate hopeful J.D. Vance and several other candidates.

In the article, published Saturday evening and titled “Uncharacteristically thin crowd in Ohio an hour before Trump takes the stage for rally in support of Senate candidate JD Vance - just after saying most GOP candidates would LOSE without his endorsement,” Elkind noted that Trump had bragged hours before the event that it was “sold out” and he expected a “massive crowd”—only for the arena to be visibly less-than-full. The Daily Beast found the original text by searching cached versions in the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

1. And these 'thin crowds' will continue too. tRUMP has overdone his going out to the masses, and

sucked all of the money out of them anyways, so it's no longer profitable for him.

People are bored.

People are sick and tired of his (and only his) drama. It's always something wrong about something or someone else, and not him.

Gets a little old, eh?

2. Thin Crowds !?!?!?!?!?!

Ah Gee, poor Donny told everyone it was a sold out crowd ahead of time and now he gets an anemic turn out. If this keeps up, the MAGA morons may start to think just possibly the Orange would be Fuhrer is full of shit. Not all of them of course, as some are beyond stupid.

3. Thin crowds are deceiving. Look what one man accomplished in OKC in 95 and nineteen did on 911.
