Trump’s team claims 250,000 supporters watched his military parade. ‘No Kings’ protests drew at least 4 million, experts say

[bongsaway]

Following the Saturday event in the Capitol, the Trump administration was quick to tout what appeared to be inflated attendance numbers and brand the “No Kings” protest, which drew millions across events in some 2,000 cities and small towns across the country, as an “utter failure with minuscule attendance.”

“Despite the threat of rain, over 250,000 patriots showed up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army,” White House communications director Steven Cheung wrote on X. “God Bless the USA!”
Outside estimates, meanwhile, suggest there were far fewer in attendance than the 200,000 people expected to view the parade, which coincided with the president’s birthday.

“When the day came, it was something closer to a medium-sized town’s July 4th celebration,” The Independent’s Richard Hall wrote in his dispatch from the event. “There were families, picnics, bad weather and small crowds.”

The actual number was roughly 10,000 dopes.

I found this in Time:

"In the nation’s capital, tens of thousands came Saturday to the National Mall to cheer on a military parade marking the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. Army—which also happened to fall on President Donald Trump’s 79th birthday."

10s of thousands.

The parade was the spectacle event Trump had long wanted. It also helped sparked the largest mass opposition to him since his inauguration 145 days earlier.

My bad, I must have passed over it. So let's say fifty thousand or in other words, a big flop. A normal fourth of july parade in Washington draws more folks.

NO KINGS protests are a fn joke. Nobody but these idiots and the paid protestors think there is anything to it. Not a single person on the right, not a single group, not a single piece of legislation has been started to proclaim any person with a title of nobility. The Constitution forbids it in Art. 1 but you guys are too damn stupid to read it. So lie, as uaual, make false claims, as usual, claim your peaceful protest didn't attack law enforcement, or torch government property or throw concrete chunks at law enforcement. You are a bunch of scum with no actual complaints outside of your fabrications.

Ok, now tell us how you really feel? If you don't know why people were protesting...shame on you. I am your retribution.

Even if one accepts #1 Trumplicker Steven Cheung's ridiculous assertion that 250K were at Donald's Big Boy Birthday Parade, low estimates have 4 million people participating in No Kings marches across the country.

That's 16 protesters for every birthday participant.

I do know why. Because they are full of bullshit. They are easily swayed by far left wing groups who are angry over getting their asses embarrassed in the 2024 election. Stupid policy positions and bad candidates created chaos in the democrat party and all they have left is this BS claim that someone is trying to create a KING. The only ones trying to create a king are democrats who have nothing else to campaign upon except made up shit.

Well, he could be right if he is including in his number 250,000 the people who watched it on TV.

If it Walks like a duck....Quacks like a duck... you've heard that I'm sure.

You seem very angry that people (lots of people) think Trump is very very bad at his job... A lot of them think he oversteps his authority, repeatedly. Some remember him referring to himself as king. Dictator on the first day. You would be hard pressed to name ONE positive achievement the non-king has to his credit.

Instead you resort to ridiculous diversions to what the Constitution forbids. You'd be better served to recommend Trump start reading that document. His so far unwillingness to do so is the cause of all the commotion.

 

[JMR]

Those people counted for his Inaugural exaggeration. He can also include UTube visits, and social media posts. Literally billions of people attended the parade.

Sorry you are pissed people don’t like your idol.

From the little I watched of the parade, the optics weren't great. Today, Russia is trolling Trump.
