Here’s the photo that a New York Post campaign reporter reported about an hour before Trump spoke:

According to the Post reporter, the photo was taken about an hour before Trump spoke.

Here’s what we know after nearly a decade of Trump rallies. Many Trump fans skip the speakers before Trump, so relying on photos taken before Trump speaks often underestimates the size of the audience. That said, there is no way that 80,000 to 100,000 people could fit into the space where the meeting was held. It would be physically impossible unless people were laid out and stacked on top of each other.

Here’s a video of a pan of the crowd:

There is also a video of people leaving the rally early:

Any estimate of the actual size of the audience would be a guess. Local officials expected tens of thousands of people, and if all the people in the event area are included, it might fit 10,000 people, but a crowd of 80,000 to 100,000 would be physically impossible.

This will come as no surprise to anyone, but Donald Trump and his supporters have lied about the size of the audience, as the evidence suggests that Trump is not a national juggernaut, but an oldies act performing the old hits on the beach, at a declining turnout. .
