Video Of Crowd Size At Trump’s PA Rally Leaves A Lot To Be Desired

Where’s the hype?

Trump’s “major comeback” rolled into Pennsylvania with big promises, but the Mount Pocono rally told a very different story. The event felt underwhelming from the start.

The campaign had envisioned a huge crowd and nonstop chants from the swing-state base. It never happened.

A video circulating online captures the rally inside a small casino conference room. Roughly 200 people were present. The room offered sparse applause while Trump spoke for almost an hour.

The crowd looked thin and quiet. Many claimed a lot of people were only there because they were paid or given free tickets.

Trump walked onstage and said he was ready to make America “affordable again.” He also said helping families was his “top priority.” But only a few minutes later, he blamed all rising prices on Joe Biden, even though his own tariffs have pushed many costs up.

Then Trump shifted to advice for struggling families. He said Americans should “adjust to a lower standard of living.” After that, he gave a blunt fix for higher prices. “You can give up certain products,” he said. “You can give up pencils… You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”

Data tells a different story. A new POLITICO poll shows that half of Americans are struggling to afford food. Even worse for Trump, 55% blame his administration for the rising cost of living.
