To be fair, he had about 150 protesters...Crowd size? 20k-ish?

"We are going to make life in New York affordable again," Trump declared after talking extensively about his role building the Wollman Skating Rink in Central Park and a Bronx golf course.

Another promise: "We are going to renovate New York's subway system so it no longer looks like it hasn't been cleaned since 1932."

Sounds just like a......... politician!! Not sure how either of the above would be done.

As has been said - easy to campaign, tough to govern.

True.

But Trump is currently nine down in New York. In New York.

Jon may vote for him after all...

Of our more politically outspoken people here, which side is more likely to claim the election was stolen from them if their geriatric of choice doesn't win?

Birds of a feather.

The reporting on this has been quite amusing. I’ve seen reporters attempt to frame it as a few hundred rally goers and thousands of protesters….

@George-K LOL

(Again, sad that the most powerful country in the world believes that the two leading candidates are the best we can do)

I think there are way more than 25,000, just look.

You won't see this on cnn.

[LuFins Dad]

I think I read something along the lines of only 3500 were allowed in the park, but here were 3 times that number outside?

[LuFins Dad]

Here you go, Park Capacity was 3500. That’s all that was let in, but there was a total of 8K to 10k according to police.

Another view from the rally.

[Doctor Phibes]

Somebody has to do it....

[George K]

@Doctor-Phibes Trump supporters tend to be tidy.

[George K]

Granted the timing might be different.

9 sets of windows, three skylights… It matches. Mr. Sisson also used a particularly deceptive lens to distort the perceived length.
