US President Donald Trump held his first campaign rally in more than four months in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday (June 20th) but it was number of empty seats which grabbed many of the headlines.

Trump promised huge crowds at the much-hyped event and the chairman of Trump's re-election campaign said they had fielded more than one million ticket requests.

The lower than expected crowd numbers may be partly the result of on online prank by TikTok users and K-Pop fans who claimed to have requested hundreds of thousands of tickets with no intention of attending the rally.
