It's crazy that so many people get so hung up on the size of the crowds. Like are you going to vote based on who gets the bigger crowd? What happened to voting based on the candidate's policies and track record as a politician?
In 2020, when Trump lost, one of the common lies spewed by the right to claim he really won was comparing the sizes of his rallies to Biden's.
Of course, that was during COVID restrictions, when the Dems were staying home and socially distancing, and the GOP pretended like the global pandemic wasn't real.
Many people are just Size Queens. They can’t enjoy democracy unless they see a large crowd size.
Trump chooses a topic, lies constantly about it and let people get tired fact checking. Would crowd size be on the news without Trump activating that subject?
The argument started because Trump is a narcissist who is obsessed with crowd sizes. The Harris campaign has been teasing him that their crowds in the same places have been larger because they know it will make him unstable. Unstable Trump can't take the hit to his ego so goes on social media and starts lying about the Harris crowds being fake. Reporters rake the bait and write articles disproving his claims.
The sad state of political campaigning in 2024.
Trump only cares about winning , which includes pointless dick measuring contests.
What a disgrace.
First time meeting human beings?
As mentioned elsewhere, “so many people” are caught in the wake of trump’s unrelenting torrent of lies and accusations.
‘Journalists’ use them as a reliable source of clickbait when they have nothing to report.
Americans remember his first press conference as ‘predisent’.
