Trump’s Own Video Footage from ‘Trump Force One’ Accidentally Shows Rally Crowd – Which Is Not Even CLOSE to 15K People

By

The crowd size thing at rallies has been difficult to cover. But it’s also important because it truly does give one a sense of where people stand with Trump. In 2016, Trump was filling professional basketball and hockey arenas. They were loud and rowdy. But as we got into the 2020 campaign, during COVID, we began to see a lot of photoshopping of crowds. It wasn’t just Trump’s team doing all they could to make the crowds look huge. Democrats on Twitter also photoshopped the crowds to look much smaller and perhaps have a tweet takeoff.

Speaking of “takeoff.” Trump didn’t ride his bike to Waco. He flew on “Trump Force One.” The people who still call him “the president” or “President Trump” want to keep the theme. Trump doesn’t ride in a Trump plane. He flies on Trump Force One. One of my favorite lines from the Trump investigations was when special master, experienced federal judge Raymond Dearie responded to Trump’s attorneys – who kept referring to him as “the president” – stopped them and asked if they meant President Biden.

Now we have a tweet we can trust is not photoshopped, and it is obvious that this is one small crowd. It is advertised as 15,000 people (about the size of an arena), and yet, Nicole and I have been to concerts, and we know 15,000 people when we see it and… that ain’t it. We know it’s not photoshopped because it’s filmed from “Trump Force One,” check out all the beautiful grass next to the airport (so Trump isn’t there long):

Remember, that includes cars parked… unless a lot of people rode their bikes to the rally. And looking at a lot of the MAGAs in attendance, it doesn’t look like a lot of MAGAs ride their bikes much.

Here’s raw video of the crowd, and again, it’s not even close to 15K. Of course Trump will still say it was. He’ll say it was 30K. You watch.

Twitter of course saw what we did and called Trump out:
