Trump said, “And they had seven people show up. And you know what? They don’t show Barack Hussien Obama. He came out to campaign two days ago, right? And they had 42 people. He drew flies. Did you ever hear the expression? Obama drew flies.”
Trump is running against and currently losing to Joe Biden.
