Trump brags about Jan. 6 crowd size: 'I think it was the largest I've ever spoken before'

Former president Donald Trump on Saturday complained that the "fake news" media never reports on the size of the crowd at his Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally prior to the Capitol insurrection.

"They talk about the people that walked down to the Capitol," Trump said. "They don't talk about the size of that crowd. I believe it was the largest crowd I've ever spoken before, and they were there to protest the election."

Emphasis mine

His lack of accountability never ceases to amaze. Because he has never been held accountable in his pampered ill lived life, he thinks that he can get away with anything. At this point he is seeking PRAISE for the size of the crowd he incited to treasonous insurrection. You could not make this shit up.

At this point, he is literally bragging about this... ''Look at the size of the murderous unhinged mob that came at my command to attack the heart of democracy. Didn't I do well?''



Anyone who still supports this maniac is the opposite of patriotic.

He wants the attempted coup to be called a rally. He is not a stupid person, he is a mentally ill person.

That a lying, depraved psychopath like Trump still enjoys such a large following speaks to the racism, ignorance and low moral character of millions of Americans.

would have been huuuuge if the Republicans had attempted and succeeded in their coup plot.

Republicans apparently discount effeminate Democrats from actually taking any action or they figure the military/police will just enforce what they tell them.
