Trump Tulsa Rally: Ivanka, Jared Kushner 'Pissed' At Campaign Manager For Promising Bigger Crowd

Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale might be on his way out this time after a humiliating night for President Donald Trump on Saturday when only 6,200 people showed-up at his poorly attended campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Parscale had bragged 60,000 people would be there, including 40,000 at an overflow area built to accommodate supporters.

President's daughter Ivanka Trump and husband, Jared Kushner, made no secret about how low they hold Parscale after the Tulsa fiasco. Both are said to be "pissed at Brad over promising on crowd size," according to a source inside the Trump camp cited by CNN.

Trump himself is said to be "furious" at the "underwhelming" crowd size at Tulsa. Trump had primed himself to be adored by legions of fans packing the BOK Center and got a half-empty stadium, instead.

Parscale is also facing a "decline of confidence" from Ivanka, Jared and other members of Trump's inner circle, according to sources in the campaign. Trump himself is said to have publicly voiced his disappointment about the job Parscale is doing.

Trump's return to the campaign trail flopped spectacularly as TV cameras and social media videos showed the 19,000-seat BOK Center with chairs half-empty. Fewer than 6,200 people attended Trump's rally, said the Tulsa Fire Department based on scanned tickets. Saturday was Trump's first rally since March 2 when the raging COVID-19 pandemic forced all mass gathering to shut down.

Parscale had boasted a few days before the event the BOK center would be filled to capacity. As a result, the campaign had requested an outdoor area be built to accommodate 40,000 more Trump supporters that couldn't get into the stadium. Parscale also claimed the campaign received more than one million ticket requests for the rally.

This isn't the first time Parscale has run afoul of Trump and members of his family. In late April, Trump threatened to fire Parscale over a slew of poll numbers all showing him losing badly to Joe Biden in November.

Trump was said to have shouted at Parscale during a phone conversation, according to three sources cited by CNN. Trump even threatened to sue Parscale. Parscale later attempted to play down this serious dust-up, claiming there was no daylight between him and Trump.

Saturday's humiliation, which the Biden group is transforming into a campaign video, does place Parscale in jeopardy of losing his job. A campaign insider said skepticism over Parscale's ability to lead a winning reelection campaign for Trump is rising in light of the Sunday disaster.

Adding to Parscale's problems is news that some heavyweight donors are raising concerns he is out of touch with the new political realities created by the COVID-19 pandemic and the protests demanding racial justice. In essence, Parscale seems to be fighting this campaign with the 2016 tools that led to Trump's victory.

"What happened last night is representative of a much bigger problem," said a campaign insider.
