Have you ever seen how full the Chamber is. There are plenty of people standing that will get seats and be trump loyalists.

And a lot of the Democrats attending are bringing guests, like Epstein survivors.

There are 435 house members

100 senators

9 justices

20 cabinet members

175 diplomats

The joint chiefs of staff

Plenty of staff

A bunch of security

Well over 800 people in a room that holds 450.

It won’t look empty, instead, it will be full of those who agree with Trump and make him look good.

Mr Jefferies plan of silent sitting would actually show a loyal and united opposition. People going off to their own events shows the exact opposite.
