Donald Trump asserted that more than half a million people attempted to attend his speech to the Rolling Thunder bikers DC Sunday.

"We have the biggest rallies by far, far bigger than Bernie Sanders,'" he told a crowd in front of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall. "Far bigger. I mean, look at today. They say you have 600,000 people here trying to get in."

"That's not gonna happen," he added. "But they say you have 600,000 people."

A crowd count wasn't immediately available, but the space in front of the Lincoln Memorial was far from filled up.

A crowd count wasn't immediately available, but the space in front of the Lincoln Memorial was far from filled up.

And yet they show a picture of that area totally filled.

Since Democrats don’t have rallies of this size, they have no idea of the headaches trying to vet 600,000 people in two hours.

If Clinton had been there, CBS would have had an exact crowd count times ten a few minutes after it started.

It will be one of the largest political rallies of the year if it only has 50,000 people. I don’t think Hillary could get those numbers if she was giving out free phones.

She appears to have had a few more drinks than last week!

I bet the place was spotless afterwards, too. Unlike after this Earth Day rally.

I was surprised that CBS even showed a photo with that many folks in the audience...........

I have that eagle/flag pic on my phone’s lock screen.

It’s amazing how they want to tell us how many people are supporting a candidate. I remember Clinton photos of massive crowds and Bush in a half-filled venue. Part of their bandwagon propaganda scheme.

Politicians can't manage. All they can do is talk.

They will just claim they left it that way so people will have work to do.

[RayofHope]

Ha ha! How true........

Or Obamas inauguration. They even left their little old black ladies in wheelchairs lying around.
