He wants a big crowd. They don't all have to be supporters.

The protesters who he admonishes his supporters to "don't hurt 'em!" or "get 'em outta here!" have just as big a role to play in the "Donald Trump Experience" as his supporters do.

The whole city could burn on January 20th and Trump would tweet, "It was YUGE!"
