It was projected that about 30,000 would attend the rally:
"Approximately 5,000 people are expected to pack the building where Trump is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. Saturday. The indoor attendance limit was set by the Washington Township fire marshal, Total Sports officials said.
For those who dont arrive early enough to get inside, a giant video monitor is expected to be set up on the 60 acres of soccer fields where the rest of the huge crowd can watch and listen. Rally attendance outside the building is projected to reach 25,000."

"Approximately 5,500 people were inside the new 118,000-square-foot sports building when Washington Township Fire officials cut off further entry, leaving an estimated 5,000 people outside to watch the rally on a giant television monitor."

With one exception unfortunately.
The ratfucker rode a perfect, multivariate storm of shitbaggery and barbarous, overt treason to the POTUS.
He needs to be clapped in irons someday, charged with the above-mentioned treason and global racketeering, duly convicted after a fair trial, and tossed in a Super Max for life.
His kids and Jared too. Lock em ALL away in a deep dark concrete and steel hole.

(15,543 posts)They need to shut their lying yaps - if they can't even tell the truth about something as inconsequential as this. Sick and sad.

(6,212 posts)must not be much to do around that area. I would rather stay home and watch a lousy rerun on tv than go out and listen to that ignorant ugly idiot spew out all his lies and threaten to shut down the country. I have to wonder how many of those people are bussed in.
