The most people to demonstrate for a sitting president (I just threw up in my mouth) in history. PERIOD!

The photographer managed to get every single pro-tRump group in the frame: Jews for tRump, Women for tRump, etc. Must be about two dozen supporters altogether.

which went heavily for Clinton.

Probably not the best city in which to organize a pro-Trump rally.
