Bruce Springsteen fans have denounced Donald Trump as a moron after he claimed that his Jersey Shore rally garnered a larger crowd than the singer could pull. The 77-year-old former president arrived at his Wildwood, New Jersey rally on Saturday evening which was swamped with approximately 80,000 Maga supporters, according to his campaign officials.
Alongside a flurry of expletives and praising fictional flesh-eating serial killer Hannibal Lecter before pivoting to talk about illegal migration, Mr Trump also took a jibe at a New Jersey icon: Bruce Spingsteen. I love these Saturday evenings. Is there anything better than a Trump rally? If some of these wackos came along, you know, these liberal singers, theyd actually vote for me, he gloated to the crowd. You know, like Bruce Springsteen. We have a much bigger crowd than Bruce Springsteen. Right?, Mr Trump added.
The Trump campaign has previously been criticized for inflating crowd sizes, and Mr Spingsteens fans were quick to poke holes in the Republicans latest figures. Between 30 August and 3 September last year, the rock singer and his E Street Band sold out three performances at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Its seating capacity alone is 82,500 according to its website. Trump really said his Wildwood rally had a bigger crowd than Bruce Springsteen
someone tell this moron that The Boss sold out MetLife for 3 nights at 82,500 a night, one X, formerly Twitter, user said.
If this was a real crowd of my fellow New Jerseyans, and not a bunch of brainwashed posers, there is no chance they would have allowed this Bruce [Springsteen] slander to stand, another wrote. While Mr Springsteen, who is public in his support for president Joe Biden and called Mr Trumps 2020 first term in the White House a f****** nightmare, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said that the singer would actually vote for him if he attended the rally.

(87,223 posts)Four years of mayhem -45's first term? As if there's absolution about his being in office again.
WTF?
I would prefer that it be referred to as his last term.
Make sense?

(18,752 posts)Not the fake one the Roger Stone posted, but something that backs up the campaign's boast. I would think someone would take one of such a momentous event
Seriously, is there one out there that I haven't seen? 80,000 people!?

Probably the biggest crowd of screwballs, misfits, and ne'er do wells ever. Call the Guinness people and check.
