“If I can take on 100,000 protesters, I can do the same across the world.”

Ridiculous, of course, but it plays.

If it were obvious, you wouldn't have to say "of course"

Let's say that it is ridiculous. The converse is not.If you cannot take care of 100,000 protesters, you may not be able to do the same across the world.
