SAD! 😢

Attendance yesterday was 118,286. The record attendance for a Saturday at the Iowa State Fair is 127,277. They average about 113k per day. All the presidential candidates were there most of the day yesterday. Trump was there 45 minutes. pic.twitter.com/rNP9MkxBb5

Attendance records weren’t broken.

They weren’t all there to see him. Because they didn’t all leave after 45 minutes.

Maybe attendance was lower because you were there?

After the people trying to get into the fair are sufficiently bottle-necked by the Secret Service blockade at the entrance, Trump jumps out and they get the propaganda shot. pic.twitter.com/IbxijEdj2k

And the other candidates didn’t have their security details create the appearance of a crowd just to stroke your fragile ego.
