Trump exaggerates his crowd by 45 X. To be clear, NBC said more than a 1,000.

1. I know a musician here on DU who can draw much larger crowds than that. I'd leak his name, but he is very modest.

2. T-rump or one of his goons allegedly put out that the 45,000 number includes online and TV viewers...har de har har...

3. "Donald Trump ... That name sounds familiar ... I've never listened to him ... I'm here find out what he has to say ...

Holy shizz! This is boring ..."

4. Is it over or ongoing?

5. Ongoing. Trump spoke last night I think.

The Great American State Fair is a 16-day public event taking place from June 25 through July 10, 2026. The festival kicked off with a rally on June 24 and is currently running on the National Mall in Washington, D.C..

7. Not even 4,000 to 5,000 people. He can't math.

8. When is someone finally going to drop a net over this idiot

and haul him off? Each and every day he proves he's totally detached from reality. What has happened to this country that this insanity is allowed to go on? Seriously, WTH?

9. Based on the video from the Bulwark showing tons of people leaving during Trump's speech

I'd say there were more than 1000 people there. How many more, I don't know. Obviously, nowhere remotely close to 45,000. To be fair, the original bluesky post is wrong. NBC did NOT estimate "1,000 tops". They estimated "more than 1000".

11. Thanks for clarifying.

10. I went to see Rammstein in Los Angeles. 77,000 in attendance.

The pictures don't look anywhere close to those numbers!
