The coronavirus pandemic has put a pause on almost every aspect of life in the United States — including political rallies. But President Donald Trump’s team has reportedly been at work considering possible workarounds. One idea floated involves holding rallies at drive-in theaters around the country.

According to The Daily Beast, Trump’s team plans to pitch the idea to the president as early as next week.

“President Trump is a great campaigner,” Ed Brookover, a 2016 Trump advisor, told the outlet. “Finding new ways for him to connect directly with voters will be very beneficial to his campaign. Selecting drive-in theaters as a rally location makes perfect sense.”

An old-timey drive-in theater would certainly match with Trump’s “Make America Great Again” nostalgia. However, there are a number of issues with the plan, including the logistics of safely maintaining social distancing. Plus, there’s the fact that drive-in theaters just can’t hold as many people as the sports arenas Trump is used to filling.

Ohio has more drive-ins than almost every other state.

The proposal follows recent drive-in concerts, like the one recently announced by improvisational electronic music artist Marc Rebillet, believed to be the first such tour in the U.S.

  1. What’s 4 more years of Trump going to do to the Liberals already brain damaged by (unnecessary) authoritative covid lockdowns?

    Really gonna pull their hair out this go around.

  2. Sorry, Jimmy. You’re dreaming. A Depression and The Plague will do in this orange circus clown.. Can’t happen fast enough

  3. Maga or Bust, and by Bust I mean corrupt Globalists fantasies of controlling Western Countries whose ancestors sacrificed everything for Freedom and the American Dream bursting.

    The details are boring.

  4. You won’t be able to keep people in their cars. Those are the same people who don’t give a fig about masks and social distancing

  5. Hilarious, they deleted my post. So much for all that conservitard crying that “liberal” Scene only censors them.

    A bunch of fat, smelly, semi conscious Drumpf voters in their cars together, huh? Well, most of em are so enamored with the smell of their own farts that it likely won’t be too much different from their regular day to day.

    The rest of them are so dense they probably won’t even realize they aren’t sitting on their couches scratching their cracks and yelling at their televisions while they JO to Faux News. 4 more years of worldwide embarasment and 6,000 more outright lies, sounds like a good time.

  6. MAGA or a Vaccine that will paralyze then bankrupt then kill you.

    The choice is easy….4 MORE YEARS!!

  7. I so badly want Trump to catch the virus. And I hope he suffers. Karma’s a bitch.

  8. I heard a lot of honking horns a while ago, like people used to do after weddings when I was a kid,

    The horns made me think that maybe something GREAT had happened in America…like maybe the Orange Bitch had keeled over and bit the dust.

    Then I saw the line of cars outside. It was a drive-by parade on my street…somebody’s birthday.

    Bummer. What a disappointment. For one brief shining moment, I thought…

  9. Trump thinks Michael Flynn is a hero? Susan McDougal did 18 months in Federal Prison in solitary for refusing to answer questions about Whitewater and has never ratted out Clinton to this day. Flynn pled guilty and agreed to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation almost immediately and never did a day behind bars. Barr had to rescue Flynn before he could sing about Trump’s dealings with Russia to keep himself out of jail. If Trump’s taxes reveal connections to Putin, he’s done. The Supreme Court is hearing that case this week,
