A spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, New Jersey, made a startling claim about the crowd size at Trump's rally. Lisa Fagan might as well have told the Associated Press that eleventy bazillion people showed up. She said that between 80,000 and 100,000 Trumpers showed up to see the orange aberration. However, photos from the air and video clips of MAGAs leaving the event tell another story.

Former Trump advisor Roger Stone posted a photo on Xitter, claiming that President Joe Biden couldn't garner the same crowd size that Trump brings in, and included a picture that turned out to be a pic of a Rod Stewart concert 30 years ago.

He quickly received a community note that reads, "This image was taken on December 31, 1994, at the Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
It depicts the crowd at a concert by singer-songwriter Rod Stewart in what is known as the world's largest free music concert, with an attendance of over 3.5 million people."

After Stone was called out, he said it was a joke. Hahahaha, that jokey jokester!

Sorry, Stone, but you lost all credibility when you got Richard Nixon's face tattooed on your slimy back.

Here's a video clip of Trump's cult following leaving as he drones on and on and on:

I have no idea what Trump is talking about here.
