Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can't estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.

All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that's in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.

Nah, it was bigger than Obama’s inauguration.

I told my partner, and she asked "Does that include the band?"

So 8 highschools. That's pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn't even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.

Four public high schools in my city and their combined attendance is over 9000

The 3 in my district total over 7400. He/she must be talking about small towns schools.

So, according to Trump after he's told that number, "millions and millions and millions, a parade like you've never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I'd say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must've had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade".

All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡

Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump's show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.

The saddest trombone.

Not to judge, but that "crowd" looks a bit, uh, frumpy.

Where is the 8,647 number coming from? I don't believe it was 250k, but I don't believe 8,647 either.
