Like you I don't know if this ad is true or not---but given all of the lies and crazy things that come out of the tRumputin camp/Orange House--I give it a "good" chance to be TRUE.

The clown isn't popular, so I could definitely see him telling his camp to advertise somewhere (Could see a staffer thinking Craigslist) for people so he could make his hideous rally look YUUUUGE, and we know he's obsessed with crowd sizes, and will LIE about how big his crowds are at EVERY turn even when confronted with evidence (Pictures) showing how small his crowd sizes ARE (Pictures showing the Mall very empty for his Inauguration).

I've posted this before here. There are similarities in the MO:

Donald Trump 'paid students £20' to protest against wind farm near his Scottish Golf course
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/donald-trump-paid-students-20-9274811

And in 2013, this notice appeared on Craigslist and Job Hustler before an anti-wind farm demo Trump planned in New York:

Earn Quick and Easy $20 for an hour or less of work
Wednesday December 31st, 1969

Our firm needs 100 volunteers to attend and participate in a rally in front of the British Consulate/Embassy in Midtown Manhattan on the East Side on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 12 noon. The event is being held in order to protest wind turbines that are being built in Scotland and England. Your participation will be to ONLY stand next to or behind the speakers and elected officials/celebrities that will be speaking at the rally.

It is a really simple job and easy money for anyone who is around Manhattan at the time. We need all of our volunteers to RSVP for this event. It is VERY important that you RSVP because we have had people confirm spots and fill spots on the first day of the advertisement in the past. If you have participated in one of our events in the past (Ovation) please make a note of that in your RSVP email and we will email EVERYONE back to confirm your attendance.

We look forward to hearing from you all and again, the money is quick, the job is easy and we pay in CASH at the end of the event.

Looking forward to seeing you next Wednesday!

this is an open invitation for protesters. Trump wants protesters because he is going to have paid people posing as Liberals causing damage and mayhem so he can blame the Liberals and get people on his side. Oldest trick in the fascist book. The media should be made aware of this in advance.

I witnessed it during a dumpy Trump rally in Sacramento during the campaign. They can easily control and screen the crowd entering through the service gates a quarter mile from (I assume) the hanger they will use. Protesters were kept outside the fence, out of shouting range from the participants of the rally. This chickenshit orange anus is sneaky, that way

this is sounds about correct, setting up protesters as Liberals to be targets. 45 is always looking for a scapegoat, he proved it yesterday at that fiasco called a press conference.

It's pretty fucking hard work to find ways to expand white supremacy, and Bannon definitely needs some help.

Even before he got a real job at tax payer expense, he never had time to shave. Now he has a crazy President to deal with, even crazier than he is.

The problem is that probably no one is going to answer Trump's Craigslist ad for the role of NSC chief.

There's some risk to the Trump administration that some people are getting together to make America Sane Again.

Don't think I'll make the trip from NJ so maybe that means two empty spots. Downside is I might get calls from TRump fundraisers but That gives me a chance to mess with them.
