This will drive trump to be even nuttier that he was today

"""Confirmed."""

Data journalist G. Elliott Morris, in partnership with Atlanta-based science newsroom The Xylom, gives a median estimate of 5.2 million, with 8.2 million as the upper boundary.

Importantly, unlike AltNPS, Morris shows his work:

I think the number domestically is seven million and some.

Definitely bigger than the last one, which I think had an attendance figure of five million and some.

MORE, Please!

More, PLEASE!!!

I keep track of the numbers and yesterday certainly had more than 8 million. More like 10 or 11 million. Afterwards they start doing the real math and it always increases. They low ball estimates since that is what their corporate bosses tell them to report.

8. I think that covers the big cities

but here in NM, over 20 towns had events. They weren't as large and splashy as the big crowds in the big cities, but those dozens or scores of people add up and were likely multiplied in small cities and towns across the country.

I think any official guesstimate of the crowds is likelier a lot larger than that.

People are not happy with having the military deployed against US cities or having their grocery bills hugely increased by Fatso's rotten policies. They don't even like having Marshmallow Mike shut the government down to protect his Lard and Savior against the Epstein files.

Who knew?
