I doubt there were even “hundreds”. The close up shot of the crowd disguises its real size but it looks like maybe 50 at the most. They were all paid to be there. This was not a rally or protest. This was a small group of professional operatives standing around and spewing hatred.
No, it was way more than 50. I was there. Not as a Trump supporter, just to observe. I was there from slightly before noon to slightly after 1 p.m., at the Columbus Circle location. I didn’t go on the march, and I see from the Village Voice photos and others that there were Trump supporters at the Fifth Avenue tower.
