Trump Fans Just Threw The Lamest “Massive” Rallies Ever, And The Photos Prove It
Ever since Donald Trump’s inauguration, the whole of America has seen wave after wave of protest, beginning with the record-breaking Women’s March on D.C. and its affiliates the day after the inauguration. Trump, whose favorite metric of all time is crowd size, has been feeling victimized.
Trump responded on Saturday to the constant barrage of opposition by calling for his supporters to also hold rallies, to prove how many of them there are and how committed they are to his disturbing agenda.
Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!

His loyal supporters heeded the call. According to the New York Times, today “hundreds [of Trump fans] rallied across the country.” That’s right, in a country with a population of over 300 million people, hundreds showed up. How embarrassing for image-obsessed Trump!

By contrast, the Women’s March saw around 3 million Americans take to the streets in a single day. The first day of protests against Trump’s ‘Muslim-ban’ – a travel ban targeting seven Muslim-majority countries – thousands of protestors arrived at New York City’s JFK airport. The next day tens of thousands of protestors flocked to public spaces and airports across the country, sometimes exceeding organizers’s expectations 100-fold.
America is a big country so of course there will be some people willing to publicly rally in support of Trump. But while Trump enjoys his literally hundreds of adoring fans, let’s remember the cause that is motivating millions to get involved in politics and take a stand: taking down Trump and all he represents.
