..."The former president has constantly tried to play up the size of the crowds that gather to hear him speak. He famously overestimated the size of the crowd gathered for his 2017 inauguration and for years complained that the media didn't take his claims about it seriously.
He has continued to make similar exaggerations on the 2024 campaign trail, claiming that he drew a crowd of 75,000 at Pickens, South Carolina, only for the Secret Service to undercut that claim.
Even Trump's own supporters have had to admit that in recent years, his crowds haven't had the same energy or size as they used to."...
