And here's video of his "walk of shame":

A couple of interesting points from former advancemen:
Take it from an old (VP Bush) advanceman- it is political malpractice to have a President walk into an arena with this many empty seats pic.twitter.com/KFjXKA4nHp— Michael Smerconish (@smerconish) June 21, 2020
When I did advance for President George W. Bush, if we’d asked him to put this much political capital on the line and then didn’t manage to fill the room, we’d have been canned before AF1 went wheels down. #Tulsa— The Real Reed Galvin (@reedgalen) June 20, 2020
Update on Monday morning. The Lincoln Project has some fun with the music from Jurassic Park, which is one of my favorite "movie songs" ever:
Two years ago the cast of Jurassic World also had some fun, celebrating the iconic movie's 25th anniversary:

The picture of "wretched Donald" is getting a lot of attention:
Update #2 on Wednesday morning. Another picture from Saturday night, this time as Donald gets off Air Force One to walk to Marine One for the flight to the White House:

A question about Donald's sloppy and defeated look came up on Eugene Robinson's live chat Tuesday afternoon:
Q: Wretched Donald
Along with many others, I've been watching the video of Trump walking from Marine One to the White House Saturday Night, and in particular I'm struck by the still photo. As a reality TV star, a showman, a conman, a snake oil salesman, someone who cares a lot about how things look on television, I would have expected him to polish up before getting off the helicopter. (How could his staff let him walk out the door looking so disheveled? That alone should get someone fired.) He knows cameras will be there, how hard would it have been to tie his tie and comb his hair? Is he really as destroyed as he looks to be in the picture and the video?
A: Eugene Robinson
That was such a striking moment because we simply don't see Trump like this. He is so curatorial about his image. It stuns me that he allowed himself to be captured on video in such a beaten-down, disheveled state. It made me wonder about his health.
And here's a few more shots from last week-end, taken by Mr. Mills:
