TFG is always lying about crowd size. Here TFG used the Secret Service to try to create a false impression of crows size and the line about the actual crowd size

When Trump rolled into the fair yesterday at 1:00, he immediately proclaimed that it was a "record crowd" despite the fact that the fair still had many hours to go and attendance figures aren't released until the following afternoon. He only stayed 45 minutes.....
When attendance figures were released for the day, the total attendance was 118,286, which is pretty much average for a Saturday. The record attendance for a Saturday is 127,277 in 1991. Last year on the same day they had over 5,000 people MORE than this year.

(63,195 posts)We don't go anymore because of age, but the percentage of people who would come to trump would be well below 1%.
There are carnivals, livestock, talent contests and all sorts of food and plant judging.
Don't know if he spoke at the Des Moines Register's Soap Box. If he did I can't imagine he would draw more than 100 to 150.
Plus he had to share the bull shit and pig shit with a lot of real, natural producers.
