I don't know how he was humiliated. He still drew more people than basement Joe ever would.
He drew fewer people to the same arena than John Tesh did. If that is not a humiliation for a public figure with an ego the size of Trumps, I don't know what is.
Trump certainly did look humiliated in the video returning to the White House. But maybe it was just his bone spurs acting up.
My favorite moment was when he spent FIFTEEN MINUTES babbling about his stumble down the ramp the other day. And the people who had paid for prime seats right behind him yawning.

Riveting, indeed.
It's not surprising the on-site attendance was low. What with pandemic fears and rumors of mob violence it's no shock that peace loving Trump supporters didn't turn out to pack the venue. What hasn't been mentioned here is that:
"A whopping 7.7 million total viewers tuned into Fox News from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. EDT during Trump’s remarks, making it the most watched Saturday in the network’s history during that time period, according to early Nielsen data.
Trump’s rally also gave Fox News its largest Saturday night primetime audience ever from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m."
And that's not all....
“President Trump’s rally in Tulsa attracted over 4 million unique viewers across all of the campaign’s digital media channels. The live-streamed pre-rally shows drew an audience of more than 2.5 million unique viewers by themselves,”

And what kind of viewership do we get from Joe Biden's speeches and press conferences? Oh that's right. He hasn't done one in 80 days. He's hiding in the basement so we can't see how unfit he is for the job. He couldn't even fill an elementary school auditorium during the primaries. He's going to need Obama to give his speeches for him if he hopes to get any kind of excitement about his candidacy.
And as to Trump's discussion of the West Point 'incident', it was comedy gold and absolutely hilarious as he destroyed the false narrative being advanced here...that he has Parkinson's or he can't drink water. I'd like to see Joe give a speech and keep a crowd entertained for 90 minutes. I don't think he can even stand up for 90 minutes. I'd like to see Joe salute 600 West Point Graduates after a long day and walk down a steep ramp with no rail in slippery shoes. He'd be on his ass. Hell I'd like to see Joe talk extemporaneously for 10 minutes without a major gaffe.
What I'm really looking forward to is the Biden/Trump debates. Then we'll see who's fit and who isn't....that is if Biden doesn't chicken out and just decide to stay in the basement until the election is over.
I too am looking forward to the debates. I think Biden should try to make walking down a ramp to the stage one of his preconditions.
Biden wants no part of these debates. He will get destroyed.

All Biden has to do is stand out of the way while Trump continues to burn the country down.
He may one of the few guys that can't out-debate Trump. Trump is awful off script but lets hope Biden doesn't stumble down the all-to-chosen path of dementia he takes many times.
I agree with you though; he needs to stay away from debates with Trump.
Biden did pretty good in his 2012 debate with Paul Ryan, remember? Afterward, Republicans complained that Biden was laughing and interrupting too much, but it worked to show his disdain for Ryan. And that was right after Obama had a terrible debate performance against Romney, so it came just in the nick of time.
Anyone who is sure how the debates will turn out is a moron, but I like Biden's chances.
