There were more people at the Astrodome to witness the final Houston Oilers game than there were at this ego stroking parade.

My largest in-person audience was ~2000ish, back in 2007

Was that in your political candidate days?

Nah, long before 😄 I was talking to university freshman about a campus landmark 🤪

Correction: forgot I spoke at Commencement in 2012 -- so maybe 4,000ish?

I played high school basketball in Indiana. Our gym held 5000.

i'm gonna beat that number one day. just wait.

So, more people than at this parade then?

Exactly what I'm wondering!

They might be over $10k per attendee.

It looks to me like there were more people at the No Kings rally in *Oklahoma City* today than were at that parade.

The question is whether there were more people in the parade than people watching it.

More people turn up in northwest Ohio to look at birds in spring than this. 😂

Hes only a legend in his own mind.

The official estimate is that this is the most attended public event in US history.

Empirically the largest birthday parade ever

Hey fellow 🦅
