Ticket Scalpers Losing Profit Trying to Sell Tickets to Trump’s Inauguration


Donald Trump may want you to believe that D.C. has sold out of dresses because of his big day, but the truth is that even the lowest of the low in performance and spectacle – ticket scalpers – are seeing that demand is exceptionally low for Trump’s inauguration.

According to the New York Daily News, individuals who got their hands on Trump inauguration tickets with the intent on selling them for big bucks to Trump devotees are finding that they made a bad investment – so bad, they just may be forced to use the tickets themselves, lest they see them wasted completely.

“Yossi Rosenberg, 36, of upper Manhattan, told the Daily News he bought a pair of tickets to Friday’s Washington, D.C. event from a woman in Westchester County for $700, thinking he could flip them for at least twice as much.

But nobody’s biting.

‘Nobody wants to buy them,’ Rosenberg told The News. ‘It looks like I’m stuck with them, I might even have to go.'”

Rosenberg said that he expected some of Trump’s wealthy supporters to buy the tickets from him, but when no one bought them, he began to advertise the hot items on white supremacists sites. Apparently, those who spend their time advocating for the extermination of a race don’t have that much extra cash lying around.

We aren’t in the business of feeling sorry for ticket scalpers as they make the act of attending live events a real headache, still we can’t help but feel particular pity for Rosenberg, who clearly misread the national temperature when it comes to buffoon Trump.

Anybody check out the new limo to make sure it wasn't a bomb? I keep thinking of the head accountant at the Pentegram on 9/11 giving an opening statement to his crew that was going to trace the missing trillions. As he looked out he said, 'We will find out why this 'wallboard behind me' is worth $40,000/sq ft. As he was about to hit the wall the crew backed up in horror as they saw the 'airplane' start to fill up the window view, . . . boom. In the movie that was never made that is.

In all the Biker documentaries where the FBI infiltrated them always regretted the 'mission ending' as he had witnessed a better relationship as a group that even the FBI had as far as loyalty for the cause goes. Think of the ones bailing as making room for the Hell's Angels and Co. at the festivities. They are supposed to be drinking their way there as we speak. They tend to make things like that a week long affair. Would it be proper to say to Obama, 'You're sitting in my chair'?

Could be.

A military coup is not out of the question when the American generals figure out WHY Trump has withdrawn US troops from Europe, dropped out of NATO, ended all sections against Russia and gone to visit Moscow before he acknowledges any of America's traditional friends and allies.
