‘Womp womp’: Trump’s ‘obsession’ with crowd sizes rubbed in his face over low CPAC turnout
MS NOW host Catherine Rampell took a sharp jab at President Donald Trump on Sunday for skipping the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convention for the first time in nearly a decade, suggesting he did so to avoid embarrassing optics tied to his “obsession” with crowd sizes.
“If we know anything about Donald Trump, it is his obsession with a handful of fairly specific things: gold plating, the Village People, and of course, crowd sizes. So you can only imagine how he must feel seeing this split screen,” Rampell said on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” queuing up a split-screen video of the massive No Kings rallies and the CPAC event in Texas.
“On the left side, you have the absolutely massive No Kings day protests which took over small towns, big cities all over the place, all around the world. Organizers say at least eight million people showed up. And then on the right side of your screen you have CPAC. Womp, womp. Notice a difference?”
This year’s CPAC conference notably does not have either Trump or any of his children speaking at the event, often a strong draw for conservatives to attend the event. Turnout appears to have suffered as a result, Mother Jones reported.
“It’s sh----,” said GOP delegate Warner Kimo Sutton of the event’s turnout, speaking with Mother Jones. “Last time this place was packed.”

Pam Bondi ‘fired’ as attorney general: report
President Donald Trump has reportedly already fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.
According to Fox News correspondent Katelyn Caralle, the president met with Bondi on Wednesday night to inform her that her time was up. The meeting was said to have taken place ahead of his speech to the nation on the war in Iran.
"One of those sources said that by the time Trump took his place behind the podium for the address, Bondi had already lost her job and was on her way back to Florida," the report claimed.
Trump was reportedly considering EPA chief Lee Zeldin for Bondi's job, according to various reports.
