Donald Trump is reportedly “livid” over the tiny crowd size at his much-ballyhooed “Great American State Fair” events.

From The Independent:
The Republican president opened the fair — organized by Freedom 250 — on June 24 with remarks put together after several musical acts dropped out. During his roughly 30-minute address, attended by administration officials and Trump supporters outfitted in MAGA-branded outfits, he claimed America was “back” and “respected by everybody.”
Trump, who spoke after sunset, did not initially know how large the crowd was, CNN reported. But he was later shown an aerial photo that depicted vast stretches of empty fields behind the audience.
After seeing the image, the president became “enraged,” and White House officials removed it from their social media posts, sources told the outlet. Trump later wrote on Truth Social that the crowd had been “packed to the brim” with “at least 45,000 people.”
Multiple outlets – including Fox News – have been documenting the nearly non-existent crowds at the Fair on a nearly daily basis.
