Jersey Shore: 80,000 show for Trump Rally

"According to [Trump] spokeswoman Lisa Fagan, the capacity for the rally is 20,000." nj1015.com

So the same people claiming 80K attended previously said that total capacity was one-quarter of that number, at most.

I'm just reporting news that multiple agencies are reporting on. If you have a problem with the numbers they're claiming contact the news agencies and bitch.

Seriously? Even your article admits that they were just repeating Trump's claims: "which was attended by 80,000 supporters, according to [Trump's] campaign."

By report, people at this rally were leaving early and deserting the back areas of the venue and then those in front.

Given Trump's performance was addled, emphasizing the progress of dementia, I am not surprised.

Gotta start lying about crowd sizes now if you want to claim the election was stolen in November.

Everyone knows the 80,000 crowd estimate is wildly inaccurate -- even the right-wing publications spreading it.

Censored, I think we can all agree the Daily Beast is NOT a right leaning website.
Agreed!

The estimate of 80,000 came from someone within the city. www.thedailybeast.com

OK, but when you click on the Daily Beast link it takes you to an article that says "The MAGA shindig along the beach drew a crowd estimated to be between 80,000 and 100,000 people, according to a spokesperson for the city."

The link to that 80-100K number in the article is a tweet that says "Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, told The Associated Press that she estimated the crowd represented between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees, based off her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen "dozens" of other events in the same space."

So the same Lisa Fagan who was spokeswoman for the rally (as seen in the rally promo ad I posted earlier: https://nj1015.com/trump-rally-wildwood-new-jersey/ ) as stating capacity was 20,000 and works for the MAGAt mayor of Wildwood says that attendance was quadruple/quintuple the capacity she claimed three days before the event.

Does that crowd look anywhere close to quadruple/quintuple capacity to you? But who are you going to believe, the MAGAt spokesperson or your lying eyes?

"Why was my link to the Daily Beast taken down"

Because you're a victim, BlueWaffles.
Because you're a victim.

Why was my link to the Daily Beast taken down that shows the figure was direct from someone who worked for the city stating there were between 80-100k people who came to the city that day for the rally? That's not from the campaign but from the municipality itself. #15 | Posted by Bluewaffles

It appears so. No idea why. You didn't use any offensive language and just linked to the Daily Beast article which links to the MAGAt spokesperson's tweet that is the basis for that incorrect number.

The Daily Beast could have done a better job calling that number out for what it is, MAGAt lies. But that's the kind of incisive reporting that allowed voters to elect famous Jew-ish, Horace Mann, Baruch College, Goldman Sachs, Citi Group person George Santos as a representative to Congress.

BlueSniffles, lmao...

80,000 what? Grains of sand?

#17 | POSTED BY BLUEWAFFLES

You really need it to be 80.000, don't you?

But in the end it doesn't matter. MAGA (you) are quite comfortable with another coup attempt if Donald Trump doesn't prove to be as wildly popular on election day as his nasy ego demands him to be.

Also ... can Biden even get that many people to show up when he speaks? Everyone here knows he can't bc he had the damn staff clap for him to make it seem like there's more people at his events rofl.

Donkey shows in Tijuana draw large crowds too, I wouldn't want those jackasses in the white house either.

Everyone knows the 80,000 crowd estimate is wildly inaccurate -- even the right-wing publications spreading it.

And if a billion flies eat crap we should all eat crap?

Also if Trumpy could only get 11,780 more of the uneducated to attend Trumpy's rallies then maybe Trumpy could be a winner like Biden, too!

News is reporting that over half the people walked out about mid-speech.

Poor Corky and Rein getting their panties in a twist. I'm just reporting news that multiple agencies are reporting on. If you have a problem with the numbers they're claiming contact the news agencies and bitch.

To the municipal worker with the front-end loader (Waffles source) to clean up the mess, it probably DID look like 80,000 people were just there.

If you weighed everyone who was in attendance, there was probably 80,000 average humans worth of weight in attendance.

I apologize for Calling out Rcade for censoring a perfectly acceptable left leaning link that validated the initial non-partisan article I posted. Also I apologize for pointing out that Zed who loves calling Republicans fascists, while he himself is in fact a non American Zed ... Americans use 80,000 not 80.000.

It's very clear that the return of Trump began this weekend, and that strikes a nerve for some.

"This Trump crowd size story is a lie based on the laziness, shadiness and carelessness of Steve Peoples' reporting about the Trump rally, which claims that 80,000 - 100,000 people were in attendance. The AP must retract this baseless number that is a lie passed on by a county official of one of the most MAGA-friendly counties in America, without vetting, measurement or credible secondary sourcing--let alone common sense."

Same venue on the right ... City of Wildwood said this was 35,000 people at the event, a country music festival

From Trump's plane yesterday on the left. Taken at 3:57

There is no line of people trying to get in.

That estimate by the City is nonsense

Reporters smh

twitter.com

Surely there's a plane or helicopter or drone shot...

I know someone who knows someone who went to the rally. Went there from Pennsylvania. The attendee was surprised that my friend didn't think it was cool. Friend went on to say Trump is a rapist. Attendee said, oh I guess you prefer illegal immigrants and open borders.

It was just like talking to the Deplorables here.

Donald Trump's Crowd Size Raises Questions

But social media users compared aerial photos of the crowd in Wildwood with other events that drew huge amounts of people to question the size of Saturday's crowd.

One X account posted a photo of a Taylor Swift concert with more than 70,000 attendees with the Trump rally, writing: "Trump in Wildwood, crowd NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 73,000."

www.newsweek.com

------- succeeded in wasting everyone's day on nonsense.

Gal, regardless of the size for those in the event. Apparently both the Municipality and the County are saying 80,000+ showed up to town to see the man. The fact that the media isn't backing down from this number says one of two thing: 1) The number is correct or 2) The media has turned against Biden and is all too happy to report the 80k number.

My question to those of you who lean left would be this ... Which of those two scenarios should be more concerning to Democrats?

Yep, people talking about crowd size rather than. . .insert your choice of more important issues.

#37 All of the links I posted in this thread have photos of Trump's crowd size as well as photos of what 80,000 people look like. Trump didn't have 80,000 people there.

The same Lisa Fagan who claimed there were 80,000 to 100,000 people there, also said before the event that the venue where Trump was speaking had a capacity of 20,000:

I need a ticket?

Yes. You can register for a maximum of two free tickets at the Trump campaign website. The digital ticket you receive will be scanned before you can get onto the beach. According to spokeswoman Lisa Fagan, the capacity for the rally is 20,000. The Trump campaign has not disclosed when ticket registration will end.

Before the rally, the mayor claimed the space held 30,000 to 40,000:

Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday the rally will be held between Schellenger and Spicer avenues, a stretch of beach between two amusement park piers. He said the city is preparing for a crowd size of between 30,000 and 40,000.

www.nj.com

Hard to believe a space said to hold between 20,000 and 40,000 held between 80,000 to 100,000. See photos at post #33 for a comparison between a country music festival that held 35,000 and Trump's rally in the exact same location.

They probably came up with that 80,000 plus figure because they wanted to support Trump's boast that he drew a bigger crowd than The Boss:

Gal you know and I know those angled images are not reliable.

I am still looking for overhead shots.

One I did see was hours before the event.

I wonder if drones were TFRd after a certain time.

Hard to believe a space said to hold between 20,000 and 40,000 held between 80,000 to 100,000.

That's because it didn't. What's Lewzer's lie count up to now?
