Show up wearing Taylor Swift t-shirts underneath your regular pseudo-patriotic clothing then change before the cameras come on.
Ritawho
Go and carry this
ModestDILF
Is this why he thinks everyone protesting is a paid actor? ‘Cause that’s how HE gets people to show up??
SnakesInBowties
I hope they aren't counting on actually being paid . . .

Send in the Swifties, they made him sad before with empty seats

I would go if they paid upfront, and covered my airfare and accommodations; I would then wait for the right moment, and moon everybody.

The picture is of Moscow: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/world/europe/russia-victory-day-parade-red-square.html?partner=IFTTT It's a troll
GorgeouslyDefinite
"It's a troll" Given the level of stupid present in the current administration, you can understand why there's some uncertainty...
pgdave
oh absolutely, it's why I wanted to check the actual image before saying something.
possumEnjoyer
Yeah those are teal berets of the Russian VDV, ostensibly before they were mostly pieced up in Ukraine lol🖕🇺🇦 🌻🌻🌻
MrsHowVeryDareYou
This has to be trolling - I feel like if it was serious, they wouldn’t give that much dead giveaway info in the post. Although, no one in that administration seems to have any experience in any of their jobs, so who knows…

Probably trolls. https://www.distractify.com/p/seat-fillers-for-trump-military-parade

MrsHowVeryDareYou
I mean, there’s an embarrassingly big chunk of the country who voted for him, and half the politicians in that town are members of the cult (voluntarily or not).
Ads like this may exist, they just wouldn’t be *this* obvious and ripe for ridicule.
PacMan4Life
"attendance perception"

"perception control" Scary terms in scary times.

A Craigslist ad hiring paid protestors is equivalently believable to a Craigslist ad hiring seat fillers for Trump's Parade. Don't fall for blatantly false information the same as the other peoe.
skincancerisfun
Hard to separate incompetence from propaganda tho. If I was working in the governments office (because they needed people, and had fired all the trained workers), and somebody screamed at me to find a bunch of people to fill the seats, I might just list an ad on craigslist (because I have no better idea on how you'd hire people)

Ive been blasting it on x whenever people post that Craigslist ad looking for rioters, and they go "the left is paying rioters" that it's far more likely the right and maga is paying people to riot and burn shit to make the real protests look bad. Classic false flag/Ghorman plaza shit. 1, Craigslist is for boomers. 2, Trump got called a pedo by musk last week. 3, maga has for more to gain from violence in la than dems do. All this is to expand executive authority, and change media coverage to LA
NeitiCora
Already done. I caught this brand new and sent it to every reporter and resistance group under the sun.
Debaucherousgeek
It's fake. That's the russian military.
JinxRocks
Most likely fake: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-military-parade-fake-ad-seat-fillers-2084415 But then again, do you think any MAGA might even be capable of firing up one brain cell to question it? Nah... Its gonna be funny all these unexpected people showing up...
DidItForScience
Anyone could have made that post. $1,000 in crypto as a seat filler sounds like BS.
EternallyIgnorant
True although who cares how much you offer if you dont plan to pay?
DidItForScience
Lots of lawsuits related reasons and the fact that this alleged job posting will soon be all over the Internet.
EternallyIgnorant
Google the number of lawsuits trump is involved with and report back here lol.
DidItForScience
You wouldn't be suing Trump, you'd be suing T-Mellon Events, the FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LLC paying for it and whoever you came in contact with when accepting the job, getting your passes and signing the paperwork. A shit ton of photos and video will be taken along the way as well. And whatever communications that happen in order to tell you at least how to get there. IF this is somehow all done anonymously, people will jump at the chance to make whoever planned it look bad, then they get sued.

So why not just do a mass apply and then not show up? Like those tiktok kids did
Autittuderp
Says they'll pay $1000 in crypto 🤣 Suuuuure they will.
Now, protesters need to go, carry in signs under their clothes, throw their hats at the speakers and heckle like fuck.
Schlenda
I thought you made a joke! Lol
Tumescentpie
$1000 in bagholderCoin
Hypothesist
paid from FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT LLC. AKA Trump is paying for this as a private individual not acting as president
Megamerican
Probably not the first time he had to pay people to come to his birthday party

I would do summersaults down my street if fake bootlickers turned his bullshit parade into a protest. We can dream...

I am genuinely concerned he would have that person shot with zero regards for the outcome
SugarSmack
Or $2,000 in magic beans.

You know those people aren't getting paid or fed

And the PoCs probably get publicly executed or deported for the dictators pleasure.

A quick google search shows no company called T Mellon Events

soOoOo... like the soldiers trump deployed in california?
xj4low
The only people Trump makes sure gets paid are the women he sleeps with so they will be quiet. Even then, he is so cheap he won't pay out of his own pocket but try to hide it as a legal expense.
one2behold
Trump meme coins are cheap !

Going to be some newly minted shitcoin and they'll rugpull the liquidity pool as soon as payments all go out.

Fight Fight Fight LLC is a company linked to President Trump and his $TRUMP memecoin, raising concerns about potential government ethics violations, foreign influence, and federal law violations. Specifically, the company is mentioned in a letter from Senator Blumenthal, raising concerns about the private dinner hosted with President Trump and its potential implications for ethics rules. Additionally, the company is connected to the $TRUMP memecoin, with concerns about its financial transactions

Better yet, show up, change clothes, and leave halfway through any speech he gives.

make some signs to fold up and hide, banners anything. DIS-FUCKING-RUPT when in sight

Is this serious or did someone make a fake/troll craigslist post? If this is real, that is hilarious.
MeowWoof
A Google for t Mellon events shows nothing but this and Timothy Mellon was a huge Trump donor. Fake
taco81
This isn’t the first nor the second time they have posted for fillers. They do it all of the time.
4etherling
Its fake. Fight fight fight LLC $1000 in crypto. It's trolling the administration. They do not want minority representation in any capacity.
vmos
if it's fake, it's very plausible given how certain people feel about all the empty seats at their previous events
OfficialPresidentGump
Obviously fake.
Toodamagedtocare
It was on Facebook too, a friend of mine sent it to me 🙄🤷♀️

It's a real CL post but almost certainly not a *legitimate* CL post.

Yeap. I recall posts like this popping up a few years ago. I feel like it mentioned Soros because the right wing folks are obsessed with him.
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
Yes, yes, "both sides" are just as bad as each other, right? Tell you don't know shit about the social and political state of the country without telling me.

That wasn't my argument or stance. Thanks for making assumptions. Very helpful.

It happens regardless of who is in office. Im not saying each party is responsible.
ROGUEdenied
inept mental conscience
d3jake
And yet you're the one who can't handle Capitalization and punctuation.
The post I'm vaguely recalling was from some right wing nut, claiming Soros was behind the posting.
ROGUEdenied
This is not ENGLISH class. If you comment on someone's punctuation and capitalization on a message board. Your comment will ALWAYS come off as condescending, and you will lose all dignity and value with whatever idea(s) you are trying to express. Good luck with your correcting of everyone's the grammar on Imgur. I look forward to my final grade.
d3jake
I wasn't correcting everyone's grammar, so thanks for that straw man. I do like that you're not on any higher moral ground than I considering you're opening statement being an insult. Don't throw stones, etc., etc.

It's gotta be fake, but hilarious. Here's the rest of it that convinced me of its falsity:

Well goddamn. I should've known nothing is too absurd for this cursed timeline.

Just because the creator did a tiny bit of research, doesn't mean it's real. But it's very sad we can't be certain.

"Reality or The Onion?" seems to be a game we're all being forced to play constantly.
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
What part of that is the red flag? Looks par for the course to me.
pinephoenix
It’s fake. The image is of a Russian demonstration, clearly they are being tongue in cheek. Although I’m sure they are stuffing seats, this isn’t the proof. We have to do our job of vetting. Don’t get complacent.
kittyfajitas
I keep forgetting there is no upper limit on his level of ridiculous. Like we all know he does this but this seemed almost *too* on brand to actually be real.
pinephoenix
It’s not real. Reverse search the image. Elegant trolling.
