I'm not sure where they source their shills. My guess is they recruit local "talent" via some area nazi facebook groups, or straight from talent agencies...

Remember how he filled his 2015 phony campaign kick-off with paid actors?

June 17, 2015 2:53pm

Donald Trump‘s big presidential announcement Tuesday was made a little bigger with help from paid actors — at $50 a pop.

New York-based Extra Mile Casting sent an email last Friday to its client list of background actors, seeking extras to beef up attendance at Trump’s event.

“We are looking to cast people for the event to wear t-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement,” reads the June 12 email, obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “We understand this is not a traditional ‘background job,’ but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.”
