The Bigly Parade/Birthday Bash:
Trump parade attendance: Activists who reserved tickets claim credit for crowd size
According to the Associated Press, attendance was well below the expected crowd of 200,000. Exact figures have not been determined, but weather conditions and the threat of thunderstorms could have factored in the large gaps between viewers near the Washington Monument.
Forbes reports social media activists on TikTok claimed credit for the modest crowd size. Users in the U.S., Canada, Scotland and Australia claimed they reserved tickets with no plans to attend. One video showing people how to reserve tickets for the parade, which were free, received more than a million views.
“I got 10 tickets here in Australia. Whoops, my bad, won’t be there,” one person wrote.
“I signed up as Barack Obama!” another commented.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Raskin: You are not our king, and we are not your subjects. We will never be your subjects. All of us born here on this land are citizens and your executive order is nothing but bad graffiti on the Constitution, and we're going to wash it off today

Raskin: And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people. That is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again .
