How many were actually at the Waco rally yesterday?

[Talitha]

This morning, NPR said 15,000 so I looked it up.

An online search listed articles saying that 15,000 were expected but none (that I could see) gave an actual attendance number.

Thanks in advance!

1. My guess (only a guess)

NO Americans! Maybe a couple thousand TRAITOR CULTIST?

[niyad]

3. Exactly.

2. From what images I saw, maybe a thousand.

18. That is the range that I thought from the photos.

Trump travels to Whacko to open old wounds to inspire his troops, and fails to draw a meaningful crowd. I would guess the next logical stop would be Oklahoma City, to dance on those graves.

4. Check out what jimbar2 did:

He estimates 4000ish

I love DU.

5. 15K Waco WACKOHS.

Bet most were not locals either.Try that in a big City. Be more like 20K counter protesters.

11. Believe many of his rally attendees are political "roadies." During the 2020 campaign an

interview I watched with three of his devout followers revealed that they followed him from rally to rally. It was their amusement.

12. Same people at most rallies.

If they can't make it, sometimes there's a bus.

16. They were losers then

They are losers now.

These losers need to get lives.

And brains. Trump doesn't care about them so they are deluded.

6. I just scanned news articles - they pretty much all say "thousands"

intentional vagueness so as not to upset any of their right wing readers

countless capitulation of the truth to tfg and the cult.

This is a dark embarrassing spot on our country's history.

[Midnight Writer]

23. Exactly. If there had been 30 thousand it would have been in the headline.

But if it was a disappointing 2-3 thousand they won't report the numbers at all.

7. I'm finding very interesting

the dearth of news reports on the rally

Seems the media got the message. Quit amplifying him and his magat followers!

Nada on wapo main page. For example!

8. This photo might help. . .

10. The fact that it's in such an amazingly shitty 'venue'

if you could even call it a venue ... shows both a) his contempt for his followers, and b) what a cheap bastard he is.

[2naSalit]

13. Exactly!

But they are blinded by...

You know, I could never figure out just what it is that is so blinding about him that they should consider drinking that *rump water.

Maybe it's just the *rump water.

[grumpyduck]

14. That's embarrassing.

Or would be if they had any sense.

21. Looks like about the size of our summer concert event at a local park on a bad year.

It was fun for a long time until the guy that put it on lost his ass in the tech stock crash 20 some years ago. Then they brought in jokes that only half filled the place.

22. Kinda reminds me

of the “largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.”

[Kaleva]

9. One reporter on scene said he estimated about 5000

[Srkdqltr]

15. They all had to stand, that would cut attendance down considerably.

[republianmushroom]

17. Did Sean Spicer make the estimate ?

If so there may have been 1,500 and not 15,000.
Remember his inauguration estimate of 01/21/2017

This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.

[KPN]

19. HIghly evolved humans beings?

None.

[Iwasthere]

20. About 1400 to 1700

If you look at all the other photos and estimate 200 per section
