It’s the same exact same bull shit that he’s been spewing for at least 4 years now. Anyone choosing to spend their time there is a litmus test showing zero brain activity.
Sometimes he adds new material, like his homage to Hannibal Lecter.
I really didn't have that one on my bingo sheet. Never saw it coming.
I swear that Trump talked about the "great" Hannibal Lecter before. I can't find any evidence of this, but does anyone else remember?
And when he channels the spirit world and opens dialog with OJ.
And he brought a fellow sex offender with him too I read
OJ Simpson was also in attendance
9... 9 years... With some newly added sprinkling of hate of course. We still calling for Hillary to be locked up?
The Hillary emails is hysterically ironic now with his whole stealing classified documents and lying about it. They’re stuck on the emails/hunters cock because they have nothing else. Just like they use the crime bill to prove Biden is racist. Years/decades old examples because it’s nothing new. Meanwhile Trump does something traitorous every week
On a slow week, yes. 🤣
Either that or the border wall that Mexico is going to pay for. Has this guy fulfilled any of his campaign promises?
Yes. He cut taxes on the rich and packed the Supreme Court with fascists.
It’s the same exact same bull shit that he’s been spewing for at least 4 years now.
Except the dementia has really started kicking in and its gotten WORSE.
Yes, it has. He sounds exactly like some of the assisted living residents I used to work with who ended up getting moved into memory care. I seriously have doubts that he will make it to November, at this rate.
I would consider attending if it were free of charge and conveniently nearby. I'd show up, take some pictures, and GTFO ASAP. He's sadly a part of history now, that's the only reason. Or see if I could chat up a few of the cult members, ask if they're listening to him, and if they feel he'd be a good leader based on the spewings.
Wait... they charge you for this? What in the fuck.
One would think that political rallies would be free to bring more attendance. You know, like in the rest of the world. Heck in many countries they will even pay you and give you food to attend.
Well, the "supporters" at his 2016 election candidacy announcement were mostly paid actors, so... https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politics-news/donald-trump-campaign-offered-actors-803161/
You know how Bush and Obama aged a lot while presidents? It’s telling that this mofo really didn’t do shit because he looks just as decrepit as 9 years ago
Trump is an entertainer. You must pay to bask in the glorious presence of his majesty.

Good point. It’s always been an incoherent rambling of lies and hate speech but you are right it is definitely becoming more nonsensical with his cognitive decline.
I asked my mom what she hears in the word salad, and she says 'i know what he means!'
It's like horoscopes or bad motivational speaking to them. It means what they want it to mean. And when you're already hooked, you'll stand there for 120 minutes and feel like your life is gonna change.
Edit: someone reported this comment to RedditCares.
Well, they're not wrong about the "life is gonna change." They're just mistaken about the direction of that change.
Like attending a concert by an aging rock group people would be waiting for his greatest hits -- "He's talking about windmills now, when is he going to start the 'lock her up' chant?"
PLAY "TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS!"
(BTO plays Takin' Care of Business)
CUT TO THE "WORK OUT" PART!
Honestly with how many people were leaving in the middle of him rambling he may have lost a few voters.
People leaving mid rally has been a pretty common occurrence since he was still in office
They lap it up like it’s the word of god. They hear what they want to hear. These people are gone.
That's the thing, I have attended lectures where an hour goes so fast you wonder where all the time went. I once attended a colloquy with Stephen White from UC. And it was so good the three hours went in no time.
And then I once attended a lecture that 20 minutes later I was asleep lol
But listening to the same old shit he has been spewing for close to a decade? I don't understand who tolerates that shit.
Video available to show that people started to leave after only a few minutes and continued to leave half during the rally.
Well, he has the stamina to ramble for 90 minutes non stop.
But I don't think it's a good indication for anything.
He's speaking the hard truths about the good side of Hannibal Lecter. Something no other politician before now has had the temerity to do.
I’m so glad someone’s finally said it. The whole fucking world has been waiting for someone - anyone - with the intellectual courage to set the record straight on St Hannibal. If only Mr Trump could become president of the planet.
I heard just a small clip and he really sounded like he was droning on
His “speeches” are just a list of grievances and the ways he plans on exacting his revenge on all those who he believes have wronged him. Nothing inspiring, nothing even entertaining, just sad anger and an audience of pathetic followers.
I mean, if he’s able to piss and shit in his diaper, he probably could be up there for a couple more hours.
I must lead a sheltered life!?! Never heard the “turdmouth” before… now it will be used forthright!!
Thank you kind Redditor!!
He has such a fixation on crowd size. I wonder if it has something to do with his small hands.
Or his small mushroom penis. Why not both?
That’s an insult to mushrooms everywhere
Phallus Impudicus is fitting in my opinion. Other shrooms not so much
They STINK!!
They stink!
It’s certainly the worst thing anybody has ever said about Toad
Trumps has Smurfs living in his underwear
Worse. It is insult to all small mushroom penises!
Especially when you find out that mushrooms might be space penises!
Just small ones.
I know far to much about the ex presidents penis
Sincerely, Stormy Daniels
LBJ approves of this comment
I know way to much about the present Presidents sons penis! His brothers too!
Sincerely, Empty-G
It must be hard to find under the overhang.
this made me laugh
It’s a well-known fact that you lose 1” of visible penis for every 40 pounds of added weight. So let’s say he weighs 300 pounds, or 120 pounds overweight. The result is a 2 1/2 to 3” penis. Which explains why that woman he assaulted didn’t feel a penis.

🍄rump’s S🍄ump™️
🍄🍄🍄
That's mainly what he cares about, how popular he is.
It's a tactic to attract more people. Popularity breeds followers.
That may be true for a political operative or marketer of normal intelligence. For Trump, it’s all about making up stuff to help himself feel good.
Another reason is a litmus test for staff. Defend this obvious lie, or leave.
I don’t think it’s that tactical. I think trump is an egotistical idiot who believes his own bullshit
Never forget that the driving force behind this shit show is one man's mental illness.
Look, his mind has deteriorated noticeably over the past few years but he's a real PT Barnum. And he's been using the same tactics for years. They may be pretty transparent and sophomoric but they are tactics and they work for people that are on his level.
It’s a freak show. That is what attracts a large audience. Abnormal ex-president and abnormal followers; no one knows what abnormal behavior or stunts they will see. People are fascinated by freaks.
The low information folks, who have eschewed "mainstream media", have not followed any of the trials because obviously rich white man is being oppressed by "the system"!
Those folks can be swayed by his confidence claims of being the only one who can save them and the biggest crowd sizes and biggest brain with the best words!
Which they are the freaks others come to see too
it's always funny when they go "i dont watch mainstream media". "but you watch Fox right?" "yeah" " so you watch mainstream media because it's the most watched" "Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
"We are magadonians, we are very smart"
-DJT
This is perfect way of putting it! It's a freak show or NASCAR event and they're all waiting for the wicked crash.
"Biggest crowds ever. You know, there was a certain leader in Germany and even his crowds were never as big as mine."
T. rex had bigger hands, believe me.
I just got a mental image of a t-rex waving its hands like Trump does
As T-Rex Trump: People are saying, there is a HYUGE asteroid coming. But that's what they want you to think folks. I call it a Godwanda hoax. Y'all remember Godwanda? We sure to love the Godwandans. He was an Aryopyterix that came up to me. Strong bird-like dinosaur. Tears rolling down his weird beak and onto his feathers and he says, "Sir, surely that glowing shooting star in the sky keeps getting brighter every night and we ought to prepare." But that's just LIBERAL nonsense, folks. You won't believe the LIES they speak. Maybe have one less cofeffe to get your morning started.
You know who cares about asstroyds? The yumans! I say we eat them!
Remind me, what species of dinosaur was Hannibal Lecter?
The late, great Hannibal Elector, that guy knew how to vote! What a voter, people!
Wearing a suit coat with sleeves too short and a red tie that’s way too long
At least some of it comes from his obsession with Obama. The abject lies about the size of his inauguration crowd - remember “alternative facts”? - set the tone for his entire administration.
He's what the gays would call a "size queen". Only the biggest will satisfy him.......
"Maybe if we use a smaller venue it will look bigger?"
Maybe he's compensating for something..
Stop reporting on his crowd size focus on his mental word salads and crazy things he says. Do your job media stop enabling him and his cult members
The lies about "crowd size" are designed to get online discussion of his rally trending online. The lies are bait... too many people are taking it.
Right. Whether there are 100 or 5k, those are people who likely drove hours to wait in line to stand up at some random location just to see Trump. They don’t care what he says. Those are voters who adore him, no matter what he says or does.
The media has literally learned no lessons from the last 2 presidential election cycles.
Or they could stop using words like ‘trump puts a dagger into the heart of America with XYZ’. How about ‘trump rambles incoherently for 90 long minutes..’ The sensationalism of the media is comical at this point.
Redditor eviscerates bombastic media reporting!
In a scathing comment.....CLICK TO READ MORE
You see, the media need to clicks. Most of the big profile media are no better than any gossip site. That they thus promote a child rapist insurrectionist fraud to become POTUS again is secondary.
I think the right headline is not one that reacts and discredits, but rather reports factually.
"Trump rally attracts 3500 passing beach goers" etc
They do, but it turns out most people don’t care or are simply inured to it. That’s part of the “frog in the pot” of despotism. What would be beyond the pale yesterday is just more of the same today as long as you say it often enough.
But that's breaks the rules. We get 1 article critical about Trump's character per 10 about Biden's age.
They are doing their job. The media's job is to elect Republicans.
Didnt see anything either about the drump 'campaign' being confronted about owed money from previous drump 'event'?
God the lost trains of thought ending in slurred jumble is absolutely terrifying. Then it always ends in a weird moan which is probably when he is pooping himself.
The least they could do is report facts in their headlines;
“Trump Spills Word Salads to 80,000 Beta Imbeciles in New Jersey”
Roger Stone just posted an image from a Rod Stewart concert and claimed it was a Trump rally. I wish I were joking
A Rod Stewart concert from Rio de Janeiro, easily distinguishable due to topography and landmarks.
A Rod Stewart concert from Rio de Janeiro from 1994
“Boy those people sure are polite! Not an iPhone in sight!” 😹😹😹😹
He's a veteran to the right wing grift, so he knows his audience by heart; he knows that they're too fucking stupid to do their own research.
Unless that research is intended to avoid verifiable data and common sense, see public health and firearms regulation.
In that case he knows he can trust the audience to research all the way to the nearest source of confirmation bias, which has a good chance of also being Roger Stone.
The photo is also apparently from Brazil, which does not look like NJ
From 1994! 😂
This picture was so obviously wrong that it had to have been deliberately wrong.
It's like the people who send you phishing emails with deliberately bad spelling and grammar. They're trying to screen out the people who have enough intelligence to pay attention to such things.
Reminds me of that time he was sworn in. Jan 2017. “Biggest audience to ever attend an inauguration.” First of many lies during his time as POTUS, culminating in the biggest and most dangerous one.
"Alternative facts" BS
To think of how that was the debut of Sean Spicer as White House Press Secretary, announce the presser, then show up an hour or so late only to claim crowd sizes was surreal. Then Kellyanne defending him the next day in Meet the Press with “alternative facts”…. Is it a surprise Trump is rated worst US President? (Rhetorical)
I tried to make myself feel better about the whole shit show by giving him a chance. "Alternative facts" was the moment I stopped giving him a chance. Was that the first or second day? Lol
Also I was forced to watch the inauguration speech and I eyeballed the small crowds the whole time. I will (hopefully) never follow a party that tells me not to believe what I saw with my eyes.
Day after. Originally he was scheduled for Monday, Brady Room as tradition. This was a total unplanned emergent address...because of the traffic cameras and National Park live stream cameras and the internet going viral about the small size. Even his parade was dismal and we also know the amount spend was odd for the lack of everything and turns out that had some fraud too. Like $750,000 of a settlement fine for funneling money into Trump International Hotel.
“Believe what i say over what you can plainly see with your own eyes”
Didn't they get caught switching his and Obama's crowd images saying he had more people? So much other shit has happened I can't quite remember
The crowd that left in droves? I recall sometimes around 2017, 2018, Craigslist ads for people to appear in his crowds in PHX....
I don’t have the desire to check Craigslist but from what I hear, that’s still pretty common. Once they get their money, they leave. A large portion of his crowds are paid “actors”.
Do they actually get paid?
I remember personally seeing craigslist ads for his rallies in my state back in like 2017 or 18 I think it was.
They are basically saying that Donald Trump gave a speech at MetLife stadium or another major NFL Stadium. Think about it and look at the size of the stage and width of the boardwalk. How far back would 80,000 people be lined up to hear or see the speech?
Still way too many
Exactly what I was thinking, arguing the numbers is just semantics, it’s still a large group of people all wearing party colours showing up to hear a maniac talk absolute shit for 60+ minutes.
I don’t know why democrats are laughing at this…
“Haha that crowd doesn’t even come close to 73,000” - okay, but you still have a large turnout for a diaper wearing rapist, meanwhile your losing your youth vote because they want your president to somehow bring a permanent ceasefire to the Middle East (are they fucking stupid?)
America is an absolute mess.
He doesn’t make many appearances in this area because it is a red island in a blue state. This is the only opportunity for many people to see him in person, so it draws crowds of people who are willing to drive pretty far for the spectacle. He has a sizable base, we know this. I wouldn’t read too much into it though.
At some point you have to laugh so you don’t cry. Almost half of voters voted for him in each of the last two presidential elections. It’s nuts. It blows my mind that anyone can look at him and go “oh yeah. That’s what i want.” Any of it.
Don't forget, they are all wearing AND shitting in diapers to show solidarity to a genocidal douchebag.
he's trying to replace the love he never got from Daddy.
You don't think Traitor Trump would lie,do you ?
Small dick energy Donnie. Small dicks are always obsessed with the size of things, and what people think of the size of things.
It's curious that he chooses to lie about the crowd but not the location. If you're going to try to convince me that this crowd of 3,500 people is orders of magnitude larger, why not go for the full Monty and say it's in Stone Harbor? Like, if you're going to have me believe that 100,000 people drove across that two lane lift bridge to get out to Wildwood, why not call it Cape May? Or for that matter Jersey City?
The other day on the today show they reported on people waiting In line for days or whatever, and the piece ended in “the venue can hold twice as many as are expected to attend.” No drama, no raised eyebrow, just a footnote. I found it hilarious.
He’s lied about crowd size since his inauguration. As a matter of fact, this piece of garbage has lied about everything since he began to speak. He’s a deranged misfit freak. His followers are deranged misfits. Like follows like.
How about we start talking about how we have a rapist as the forerunner for the Republican party running for president? Fuck his crowd size. How are we ok with letting this shit go? It should be on the news every day. RAPIST DONALD TRUMP RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
I have been to several Ohio State Buckeye football games in The Shoe with over 100,000 people in attendance. That crowd ain't no where close to 100,000.
How many were paid to attend this time? It must’ve been a sizable amount because Trump agreed to pay Wildwood, NJ in advance this time. Last time, he stiffed them for thousands in security costs.
Man the whole message is tired, "America is failing, A country in decline "..lame, it's totally bullshit, American people and the country are rocking on like we always have. Liar.
They see huge crowd sizes, I say look at the 330+ million Americans that didn't show up.
Boasting about the crowd's size is the most irrelevant thing this guy is doing. Exaggerating numbers is like breathing to him; why is this a news topic??
Ugh. My family member is struggling financially and hopes that trump in office will force the feds to lower the rates. I don't think she has any idea of the shit show that will follow if that were to happen. But no amount of talking about basic economics has convinced her.
The funny thing is I didn't even give a shit about his New Jersey rally until they started making the claims that there were 80 to 100,000 people there. Then Roger Stone tweeted a photoshopped image of Rod Stewart's concert in 1994 in Brazil and said that it was the rally when you can clearly see fucking mountains in the background.
And it's all right wing tick tock has been talking about today is how There were 80 to 100,000 people but looking at the aerial photos after the event had started there was no way that there were that many people there. For context the Dallas cowboys stadium or AT&T Stadium has a maximum capacity of 80,000 people and can be expanded up 110,000 with Standing Room, that stadium and the property on it is fucking massive. There is no way that they got that many people into that small space just from the aerial photos. Honestly, I could believe, you know 10 to 20,000 people there but they have to inflate it so much that triggers my bullshit alarm.
The funny thing is 10 to 20,000 people is still impressive in a deeply Blue State especially since he's a fucking criminal, but it's like they go all in on inflating his ego for no reason.
They have to lie. Don't forget that god is on their side. There's no way they could possibly lose... yet they keep losing constantly. Never forget the religious bend of these morons and their motivation.
Stone is an idiot. He appears to have a small brain, given the size of his head 😎
Donald tRump’s Lies About Crowd Size Raise Questions…
FTFY
tRump always lies. This is simply another example of him lying.
Stop covering him like he has any credibility, ever.
Again?
I’m sorry, that’s not 80,000 people. Half that or more perhaps. That doesn’t even look like a busy day at an NFL game in Cleveland.
He over exaggerates crowd size and prob the size of anything else.
It’s not news, it’s a repeat of last however many years.
If something was a mile away Trump would estimate it was 200 miles away.
The man has no clue. And he gets others to say it too, Saying more at his NJ speech than at a Springsteen concert that holds almost 83K ppl
Come on!!! He acts like you’re the stupid one, when it’s really him.
Clout chasing ex-President.
A lot of Russians in Jersey.
I'd leave to you could only listen so long to a grown man wearing a soiled, Dirty Stinky Diaper. Whinny, Complaining, Cry Baby Donnie, gets old, listening to dribble about Hannibal Lector, Biden Behind all his Woes, Lies and more Lies.
This is the same campaign that said their inauguration was the largest ever... in spite of the fact that it obviously wasn't even close.
If you cut all of their crowd estimates in half, you'd probably be closer the facts of the matter.
His crowd sizes only serve to make me look at his following as more of a cult.
He’s a One-trick Pony 🐴
Gonna lose by a landslide this time
Agreed. It’s his only hope for staying out of prison too.
He’s fucked.
Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, told the AP that she estimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attended the rally, based off her own observations on the scene.
Since when is being a "city spokesperson" a qualification for estimating the size of a crowd? lol
curious how many of them were paid. lol he's been caught before paying agencies that provide movie extras to plus up his crowd sizes
How pathetic does your life have to be to go listen to Trump speak lol. These people have to be getting paid. I can imagine people willingly doing this.
8,000 people there and almost all left before he was done.
People are going to tire quickly of his incessant whining.
The fact that he can still draw crowds that large is terrifying.
Looks like 10k, more or less.
Their silly 73k comments are not based in reality.
Aren’t the MAGA zealots ant-science? If so, isn’t counting in numbers science? If so, doesn’t that mean they don’t know how to count?
Arabic numerals are the enemy of true American patriots.
If I had to guess, he probably has a fairly large contingent that follows him around and/or comes from out of state to see these rallies, making it look like he has more local support that he actually does.
It's pathetic how much he and his lie about easily debunkable crowd sizes though.
the grateful maga
Jesus Christ. Again with the crowd size. This man is fixated on size. Hmmm. Wonder why…
No way in hell were there that many people on the boardwalk in Wildwood. They only had ten thousand tickets available for the event. Every weekend there are many events giving on so they probably counted everyone who showed up for various other activities. His obsession with large crowds just shows his insecurity with everything else but his supporters can’t count either!
So, the place in NJ holds a maximum of 20,000 people. But somehow in #SexOffenderTrump’s mind that means 80,000 people were there.
I'm glad I have a bigger dick than Donald Trump
It’s too bad a comet didn’t hit that area.
Except that wasn’t New Jersey, it was Rio. Roger Stone knew that and did this on purpose. lol, everyone in Jersey is going where the hell is that?
Not surprising. I believe at this same rally he was praising Hannibal lector. And I'm not sure which is worse, him praising a cannibalistic serial killer or him not realizing that wasn't actually a real person... lmfao.
The crowd was actually large, but by lying and pretending it was even larger than it was, he negates all the good press he could get from that.
It's a fair point, but we're talking Trump here. He'd lie even if the truth was to his advantage.
Not again. Stop listening to liars.
Either way, it’s a shit ton of people who want to be in his presence and that of their likeminded Americans. Not a negligible number if it’s 50,000 that stayed or only 20,000 - that’s a lot of votes in a very blue state.
Who goes to political rallies anyway? They're politicians not entertainers...
Also, many of those in attendance were simply tourists and not Trump supporters
it was a small mushroom shaped crowd... sign of a nuclear explosion of stupidity.
This is why everyone needs to freaking vote. 100k with how zealous his supporters are is probably every supporter within a hundred miles. They CAN be outvoted. But only if people show up to the polls.
Using crowd size as a justification is a Nazi thing
Numerous photos taken of the crowd not at advantageous and misleading angles show it's more like 8-10,000.
But this continues the long-term tradition of lying about crowd sizes.
Pick a subject, he/they lie about everything.
They came, saw the freak, got bored and left.
It was such a huge crowd they’re using photos from a 1994 Rod Stewart concert to sell the idea it was so huge. They haven’t shown an actual crowd photo of maga since the real inauguration photo was released and embarrassed the heck out of him by claiming it was the largest crowd ever
They keep taking about crowd size... so by their logic Taylor swift is president right?
That’s still way too many people that should be cheering for this clown.
I don’t understand who exactly wants to hear anyone speak for 90 minutes. I’ve PAID for comedy/spoken word performers and around the 75 minute mark I start to think “this is a bit much…”
If you have to lie about how big it is, it probably wasn’t very big. This applies to most things.
The state of American politics is abysmal. But I’m more concerned about how shitty the Newsweek site is on mobile.
Considering the venue has a max capacity of 20,000 and it's clearly not even full, it certainly does raise questions.
Yeah that's the part that makes me curious why even a local official agreed with the number. The area simply cannot hold even a quarter of that many people.
I have trouble believing anything tRump. He's already been caught lying about the size of crowds in both of the past 2 presidential elections. He even lied about crowd size at his inauguration speech. He's also been caught more times than I care to think about actually hiring actors/people in general and paying them to come to his speeches. It's happened so much that I can confidently state that, at minimum, at least 40% of crowds at his every speech are paid to be there.
That’s still way too many people to listen to this Buffon, what a shame
How many were paid to be there?
He spoke for 90+ minutes??? What are on earth could he have to talk about for 90+ minutes???
He rambles on and on
I saw a comment on Twitter that it was set up at just before some Kid Rock concert hence so they weren’t all even there for Trump. Makes sense when he speaks more than half walk away.
Plus, how many of these MAGAgts have been to 2, 3 or 10 of these rallies? Such a desperate attempt at every turn to inflate the numbers.
This man is dangerous. People need to vote so these corrupt, traitors don’t continue taking our rights and destroying democracy. Vote blue!
“He’s been speaking 90 minutes..”
Can you possibly imagine listening to that incoherent turdmouth for as long as a feature length movie?!
