Craigslist ad is recruiting people to attend Trump's Las Vegas rally for branding and marketing purposes.

The ad text is as follows:
We are looking for people to attend the Trump rally on Sunday. This is a marketing promotion, so please wear a shirt from the brand and bring an autograph. Receive a bonus ($50) if you appear on air!
Total work time for shirt/sign pickup + event attendance is approximately 3-4 hours. $75 flat payment + $50 potential bonus.
We ask that you take photos to confirm the event and for marketing purposes.
There is no evidence that the Trump campaign seeks to hire rally attendees, even though Trump has used such practices at his events in the past. This appears to be a company trying to promote its products and get on camera at Trump rallies.
Trump also paid people to attend his 2015 campaign launch.

But the ad shows that not everything is as it appears at campaign rallies and events. For example, most of Trump's rally crowds are made up of a group of hardcore supporters who attend all of his rallies and follow him around the country like MAGA deadheads.
Some of the regulars make money from these events by selling Trump merchandise and products. There's a cottage industry of people making a living doing Trump's campaign events. If Trump finds out, he'll probably demand a cut in sales.
When Trump inevitably brags and inflates the crowd sizes in Nevada, remember that some of these people were paid to be there.
