Springsteen Fans Roast Trump For Bizarre Boast About Size Of New Jersey Crowd
HuffPost
A spokesperson for the city of Wildwood said Trump spoke to 80,000 to 100,000 people, but video of the event made that hard to believe.
If Donald Trump is trying to woo New Jersey, he has a strange strategy.
During a rally at the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee boasted about his crowd being bigger than a Bruce Springsteen concert, shows that regularly sell out stadiums that can fill tens of thousands.
He also claimed Springsteen, a very-public ally of President Joe Biden, “actually” voted for Trump, and that he was a shoo-in to win New Jersey in November, despite the fact the state has been a Democratic stronghold since the Clinton era.
A spokesperson for the city of Wildwood backed Trump’s claim.
Lisa Fagan told The Associated Press she estimated the crowd had to be between 80,000 and 100,000 people, based on her observations of smaller events which took place in the same space.
