Trump’s July 4 crowd size keeps growing as president baselessly claims 422,000 were there to hear him speak
- President Donald Trump appears to be massaging the numbers over the size of the crowd at his July 4 celebration on the National Mall.
- Over the weekend, Trump offered a shifting account of attendance at his “Salute to America 250” event, meant to commemorate the nation’s semiquincentennial, which was disrupted by severe weather.
- “There’s no way we can be deterred,” the 80-year-old Republican said during his speech on Saturday evening, after a stormy forecast prompted officials to evacuate the Mall for over two hours.
