Trump boasted that he drew larger crowds to his speeches than Martin Luther King Jr. did

did for the historic 'I Have A Dream' speech

Former President Donald Trump bragging on Friday that he has drawn in larger crowds to his speeches on at least two occasions than Martin Luther King Jr. did for his 1963 "I Have A Dream" speech.

Speaking to the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Nashville, Tennessee, the former president spent several minutes boasting about the crowd size for his speeches on the National Mall on July 4, 2020, and on January 6, 2021, near the White House.




Photographs of King's speech show "massive, tremendous numbers of people," Trump said. "They said it was a million people."

Historians say that the number of people who attended King's iconic civil rights speech is closer to 250,000.
