All In All - Did Trump's July 4th Event Come Off The Way He Wanted?.....

Are the reviews all in? Was this a success? Rate the following: crowd size; staging; speech; military hardware; parade; flyover; fireworks; etc.

Is Trump happy with it? Can we trust any pics of crowd size? Will we get any aerial views of crowd? Was his VIP section filled? Did they have to bus in fillers?

What kind of media coverage did the event get? What is the media saying today about the event?

Did the weather compromise the event in any way?

Can we believe anything Trump says about the event?

What was the estimated cost?

Twitter it sounds like he wanted fireworks so big, coupled with the weather conditions which equaled a mess. All most people in the surrounding areas could see is smoke.
Can we believe anything Trump says about the event?

were promoting a picture that had large crowds on the national mall. I'm guessing they were fake/photoshopped, but no idea.

....funny thing about the pics, not a single umbrella/rain poncho in the crowd. Plus many more inconsistencies.
