Scalpers are facing how unpopular Trump is.

Some flippers, who acquired tickets to Trump’s inauguration with the intent of reselling them on the secondary market, are striking out in their efforts to peddle them and are now looking at some relatively “yuge” losses.

Yossi Rosenberg, 36, of upper Manhattan, told the Daily News he bought a pair of tickets to Friday’s Washington, D.C. event from a woman in Westchester County for $700, thinking he could flip them for at least twice as much.

But nobody’s biting.

“Nobody wants to buy them,” Rosenberg told The News. “It looks like I’m stuck with them, I might even have to go.”

    Knowing Donald, he’ll resort to offering enticements to anyone willing to attend — perhaps discount vouchers for Trump Ties or Trump Steaks.

      It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they hire people to fill the seats, just like Trump forced his employees to cheer during the ‘press conference’

      You are really a profound dude, William. Always on target, with a little humor.

      WTF? Is that real? The two front guys heads look like something you would have to photo shop. No one would voluntarily do that, would they? The instruments had a good rhythm and sound, but the front two guys were out of place.

        I don’t know, but a google search of eastern bloc countries can really land some pretty weird band videos. I suppose the Russians look at a video of Leo Sayer and are filled with the same revulsion.
