- I didn't realize he had to sit across from empty seats, that's fucking glorious
  
  Fyi: here’s the unaltered image
  
  Zoom in for details, its funny (and photoshopped)
  
  Did you completely miss Bernie photoshopped in?
- I love the Bernie photoshop inclusion, classy.
- Bernie was there!?!? See him there? In the front row? He may be hard to spot. He looks grumpy in this totally real and unedited photo.

My home town has an annual 4th of july parade. They feature the High School's marching band, about a dozen firetrucks from nearby cities, and about 160 vehicles total. The local flight school flies a loose formation of 5 Cessna 150s over the route.
Attendance is usually between 10,000 and 12,000.
- 8647
  
  This apple is a bit spicy, pungent, and seems to be comprised of a lot of layers.
  
  8472
- Our Pensacola Mardi Gras parades stomps whatever that pathetic show was.
  My initial reaction was embarrassment for Trump.
- Trump would tell us that your parade's attendance is about 500 losers, his parade had well over 200,000 very fine people.

What a fucking loser.

This comment section is perfect proof that most people literally don't read news, and have the memory and attention span of a golden retirever puppy.

- The wind of the collective whoooosh from people missing the joke could be a new major source of renewable energy.
- Love how MTG points out how bad democrats are by pointing out DT had two assassination attempts. Fails to mention both were by registered and very openly loud repubs.
- I'm sure I've also seen some news articles you haven't, its kinda hard to keep up with literally every single piece of news, especially something as inconsequential as that.
  Hell, I had never even heard of the term 86 before today, and I know I'm not the only one in the comments that hadn't.
- Ok that makes this way funnier

Pathetic.
Nice job on our military for following orders but making it very obvious they don't give a flying fuck about drumpf's lousy birthday. Now that is exactly what I wanted to see-- out of step marching (they absolutely know how to march perfectly, it's literally drilled into them), old ass machinery, and never once saying HB to that ass-clown, they made it about the army instead. Niiice
- Old military equipment is part of any parade though, the tank in the photo is a ww2 Sherman.

This is the sphere in Las Vegas it holds a standing room capacity of 20,000 people or about 2.3x more people than attended Donny’s birthday flop parade.

Bro, the protest in fucking wichita had ~5k
That is saaad
- Does Wichita even have 5k
  (Which Wichita? lol,)
  
  Kansas, and shockingly yes
  
  400k (half of SF) interesting!
- 8647 what a funny number

Doesn't matter. Hell just lie and say 800 million people attended.

All the mainstream media is reporting 250,000 because some trump official Xcreated that. Maybe if you include the No Kings protests going on around the parade it's 250k
- My opinion of SBS sunk further when they put 'huge' in the title of their article about it.

Is that for people in the parade? Or forced to watch it in person?
- OK I had to look it up but the joke is "86" as in "get rid of" and 47, that is, Trump
  
  Aaaahhh, I totally missed that. The comma threw me off thinking it was a real number.
  
  Didn't some Fox blithering idiots interpret that as a death threat or something a few weeks ago?
- They advertised for seat fillers, so a lot of those people were literally paid to be there.
  
  More likely they were promised payment, but have yet to collect.
  
  IF that’s the same thing I’m thinking of, that was a satire piece. BUT it’s possible there was something else I didn’t see after that.
  
  You saw a satire ad. That was not real.
  
  Show me a photo of someone holding the check they received for filling a seat.
- Well never get the real numbers. Im sure at least half weren't there willingly.

To spell it out for y'all, it's a joke number.
86 means to stop, get rid of, or kill.
47 is the trump president number.
- Thank you. I am one of those thick individuals that did not see the code hahaha.
  
  I didn't get it till someone else commented about it either.

i expected more gullible shitlipped cult sheeple

It's worth mentioning that the entire DC Metro area is roughly 6 Million people. Calling this a small turnout for a city that size, let alone the whole country, is an understatement.

Is that a WW2 tank?
- Yes. The thing was to showcase 250 years of American Army, not modern shit.
  
  I would have loved it for historical interest if anyone else was President :(
  
  nah military is demodernizing to WW2 tanks, Make Tanks Great Again?
- sherman
  
  Q: Is that a WWII tank?
  A: Sure, man.
  Q: Cool, what kind of tank is it?
  A: Sure, man.
  Q: Um, I'm just trying to find out what kind of tank it is.
  A: And I'm telling you. Sure, man.

- Apparently they had to rent them from movie prop houses.

Not sure I believe that number. But hell, I can't estimate crowds to save my life. At one point I was in the largest rock concert of all time, still have no clue.
All I can say is the one I went to easily had 2,000. And that's in the reddest part of Florida, and only 1 of 2 protests in Pensacola.
- If you have aerial footage you can use Map Checking

- Not sure if I'm misunderstanding you here... But the number from this post is for the stupid military parade in DC with the tanks, not the no kings protests. I've seen claims that there were over 6 million attendees for those.
- Rockfest, Texas Motor Speedway, 1998?
  
  YES! I would have never remembered that! What a trip that all was. Forget getting to a porta-potty, piss your pants and get hosed down. I passed out and my gf took 5-hours just to get out of the parking lot. I'll never forget Bush playing and the crowd in the standing pelting those of us on the ground with trash (nothing dangerous).
  Tell me you were there!

Putinesque feculance
- Ah yes, Milkshake.

Nah, it was bigger than Obama’s inauguration.

Jesus. That's way lower than the generous estimate I considered credible enough from /r/theydidthemath yesterday.

I told my partner, and she asked "Does that include the band?"

So 8 highschools. That's pretty good. A well known Mexican Pueblo doesn't even match that by at least 5 or 6 more people for Sunday church.
- My highschool was more than 2000 people. And it was so new that our first semester was on two different campuses and they were still building int around us for another two years when we did move in.
  Now I live in a very different area. The localist mega church gets 17,000+ butts in seats each week.
  8500 people is less than normal tourism on a Saturday for DC. It was actually a net negative for attendance over just a normal day.
- Four public high schools in my city and their combined attendance is over 9000
  
  The 3 in my district total over 7400. He/she must be talking about small towns schools.
- 86
  47
- WHAT 9000??
  THERE'S NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT
- Not even 4 for my area. Those are some pretty small schools if it took 8.

So, according to Trump after he's told that number, "millions and millions and millions, a parade like you've never seen! Streets overflowing! Yuge! Tremendous! The biggest and bestest parade of all time, I'd say! Putin and Kim were seeing it on their big screens, they called me just to tell me how beautiful of a parade mine was, and asked for advice on how to improve theirs! - I just know they must've had tears in their eyes seeing my big beautiful parade".
All while frantically playing his imaginary accordion. 🤡
- I'm sure he was playing with something while talking to Putin but I doubt it was an accordion.
- Lmao yall are still angry at Trump for being insufficiently hostile to North Korea.

Not to judge, but that "crowd" looks a bit, uh, frumpy.

The saddest trombone.

Unfortunately, there after a lot of photoshopped/ generated / cut images so it is really hard to tell if there were many people on trump's show. I wished people would post the real photos instead of such obviously fake shit.

Where is the 8,647 number coming from? I don't believe it was 250k, but I don't believe 8,647 either.
- 86 47
  
  Ah, right.
