President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday that “record crowds (are) coming” to attend his upcoming inauguration, claiming to have seen recent aerial photos showing thousands of “Bikers for Trump” supporters on their way.

“Now I think they’ve announced we’re going to have record crowds coming,” Trump said at the Chairman’s Global Dinner in Washington, D.C. He did not explain where he got his information on the size of the expected crowd.

“I saw the Bikers for Trump — boy they had a scene today,” Trump said. “And they had a scene today where they had helicopters flying over a highway some place in this country. And they had thousands of those guys coming into town.”

“People are pouring into Washington in record numbers,” Trump also said in a tweet. “Bikers for Trump are on their way. It will be a great Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!”

Some years ago there was to be an anti-Obama "Million Biker Rally" in Washington, D.C.

The photos of the "successful" rally were of the annual biker rally in Sturgis, South Dakota.

Hint: a small town in South Dakota (Sturgis population 6,627) doesn't look like Washington, D.C. (population 658,659)

No getting around that. Debating a few hundred thousand in attendance is reminiscent of his Electoral College win.

Tonight I watched Nicole Wallace interview Trump Democrats. They want jobs. Trump Republicans are full of fear. Mostly of Sharia Law and angry BLM protests - which have been hyped by right-wing Breitbarts & FNC.

This is going to be harder than we think. He's going to gain approval after the Inauguration. I predict up to 51%. Just enough to put wind in his sails.

Now what does the Democratic Party do? How do we fight Fascism if he becomes popular with the majority?

around the DC beltway and stop traffic? Yeah. No one showed up. Remember the rednecks were going to do that with RVs? Yup. No one showed up.

Gee it is fun to ride motorcycles in 50 degree weather and rain. Have fun with that. Also where are they going to park the motorcycles? If you've ever been in DC you'd know...there's no where to park anything anywhere.
