Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, “based on her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen ‘dozens’ of other events in the same space.” This really needs a 'Sure, Jan" gif. Trumpers ran with that number, but Fagan and I’m going to guess that she’s a Trump supporter, who knows, was way off.
The story has changed. Wildwood officials now say the 80K to 100K number was not the number on the beach at the rally but the total number of people “in our town,” including restaurants, bars, and other places. Imagine that.

It’s perfectly reasonable to estimate how many people are in that hemisphere as a ballpark attendance number for an event. Sure, they might not have all attended the rally but why else would they be in that part of the world?!
I really cannot force myself to care about rally numbers one way or the other. It’s just the number of people lining up to suck a politician’s dick, not the number of people what will vote for them.
