Trump's team claims 250,000 supporters watched his military parade. 'No Kings' protests drew at least 4 million, experts
After dueling Army processions in Washington, D.C. and nationwide “No Kings” protests, the war of spin has begun.
Following the Saturday event in the Capitol, the Trump administration was quick to tout what appeared to be inflated attendance numbers and brand the “No Kings” protest, which drew millions across events in some 2,000 cities and small towns across the country, as an “utter failure with minuscule attendance.”

Outside estimates, meanwhile, suggest there were far fewer in attendance than the 200,000 people expected to view the parade, which coincided with the president’s birthday.
Empty bleachers and gaps in the audience could be seen in the crowd that turned out to watch more than 6,000 soldiers and 128 Army tanks roll through Washington.

Much moreso than "news" reporting 4-5 mill & 50k at slob's parade.
Gor gawd sakes, Boston had well over a million protesters alone.
The good news is everyone knows they're lying. It's fucking obvious.
The bad news is we're all getting so accustomed to the lies, we just expect it. Lies emanating from the top government offices are normal dog-bites-man stuff now. F47 and "friends" have successfully normalized public dishonesty. I don't expect to see a responsible, respected federal government again in my lifetime.
