MAGA Idiots Fail to Spin Away Embarrassing Fact on Trump Bronx Rally

Team Trump is up to their old tricks again and falsely claiming a
lackluster rally in the Bronx on Thursday drew a crowd of 25,000
supporters. This estimate comically contradicts on-the-ground reports,
the NYPD, aerial views, and the laws of physics.

But reality is no match for the notoriously anti-factual Trump and his
supporters, who have been obsessed with lying about his crowd size
since the 2017 inauguration--and have become the living embodiment of
the Nazi-era propaganda tactic of "Repeat a lie often enough and it
becomes the truth."

In reality, Trump requested an event permit for 3,500 people according
to The New York Times. On Thursday, 3,400 tickets had been issued for
the rally, according to NYPD statements made to Raw Story. How many
ticket holders showed up is unclear, but according to live aerial shots
from ABC, Trump's rally was confined to just one area of the palatial
park: the amphitheater.

Conservatives' claims of 25,000 showing out in the Bronx is roughly 30
times what reality depicts of around 800 people in Crotona Park's
amphitheater, with a few hundred hanging around past the gates. For
comparison, Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo fits 30,000 people--as noted by
a crowd size visualizer blog this reporter has often referred to when
people violently inflate their numbers.

Were 25,000 people tightly packed to have shown up in the Bronx, they
would have occupied 13.8 baseball diamonds. With room to move around, a
crowd that big would have occupied 30.8 baseball diamonds. But aerial
visuals indicate Trump supporters on Thursday left the baseball
field-sized amphitheater less than a quarter full, roughly the size of
one baseball diamond--or around 800 people.
