      Sadly proper estimates seem to be lacking, but looking at crowd images, it can’t be more than a few thousand. Maybe 10k-20k if you’re being really generous. As one commenter put it, “It’s not a big crowd if you’ve got room to throw a football without annoying anyone.”

      Weird interpretation of “over 5 million”

      Edit: elsewhere in the Wikipedia article it says “4-6”. Not seeing anything like 13

        The edit log for that page is already around 1500 entries by the look of it? So it would not surprise me if there was an edit to 13, then a few minutes later a reversion or additional edit.

    Apparently 90% of Trump parade’s attendees were wearing very good camoflage, or maybe advanced army stealth technology!

    Looks like there’s a lot more real Americans than traitors in this country.

    Time to take the gloves off and let them know it.

    I doubt those numbers for the simple reason trump always lies about how many attended his narcissistic supply events.

      When Trump says something important and really lays it on, that’s how you can tell the opposite is true.

    They know it was barely 20.000. they know. They could never admit it ofcourse.

    And the “not admitting and not wanting to be truthfull” is the whole problem.

    I’m afraid it might mean that the next demonstration will need to become slightly more forcefull. And more forcefull after that.

    Right until they acknowledge the legitimate concerns… Or they are removed…

        If you subtract the military personal who were ordered to attend, that sounds like a very reasonable guess. Maybe they could get swag like the 1%ers. Hats and T-shirts with “I’m one of the 8647 TRUE Americans!”

        Somebody please do this.

    That amount of people reminds me of the Mexican independence parades done in Mexico yearly. Usually those parades have much more people density.

    What a surprise, he and his people inflate the numbers. Surprised they didn’t say, “Largest attendance for a military parade in history!”

    I’ll bet he’s seething today. Like ketchup on the walls, needing 20+ diaper changes seething. Probably didn’t sleep last night because he was glued to the teevee, clicking through news reports and getting angrier by the minute at the coverage.

    Whomever runs interference was likely up all night trying to find favourable articles to print to placate him during his briefing this morning, and it didn’t work. They probably had to dodge a hurled half-empty Diet Coke as they scurried away.

    His narcissistic injury must be yuge. I hope it was. (Though we’ll all pay for it soon, this image is worth it.)

      come to think of it, we’d be better off if he had an actual jester. I totally get the point of them now.

      Maybe that’s what Elon was for. Unfortunately he sucked at his job.
