Donald Trump Brags Jan. 6 Was His Biggest Crowd Ever

Former President Donald Trump couldn’t resist boasting about the crowd size he attracted to Washington, D.C., on Jan 6 during his Saturday evening rally in Minden, Nevada. “These corrupt people,” Trump said, referring to the media, “will never take a camera and turn it around and show them how many people are here. They never do it. They’re corrupt.” Shortly thereafter, Trump proudly reminisced about Jan 6. “You know the biggest crowd I have ever seen? January 6. And you never hear that. It was the biggest. And they were there largely to protest a corrupt and rigged and stolen election.” “It was the biggest crowd, I believe, I have ever spoken to,” he concluded. On Friday afternoon, a pro-Trump rally in Washington, D.C., attracted a measly 27 attendees. So far, over 300 individuals have pleaded guilty in connection to the Capitol riot. But Trump has floated pardoning them all if he wins back the White House come 2024.

He was watching it on TV and relishing every moment of it.

And still the Republican Party is in thrall to this bloated bloviating menace to our Constitional democracy.

Just imbed some reporters who can document, for security reasons, what the hell goes on.

10. Even his pathetic inauguration crowd was much larger than his Jan 6 horde of hoodlums.

So who gets to tell him that it's not the win he thinks it is?

We used to see "20,000 at Trump Rally", along with video of the overflow crowds standing outside.

I have read that his rally crowds are diminishing, but I am no longer seeing any actual numbers to back that up.
