Sanders mocks Trump's crowd size at 100th-day event in Michigan

Source: The Hill

04/30/25 6:38 PM ET


Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Wednesday mocked President Trump over the crowd size at an event in Michigan celebrating his first 100 days in office the day prior.

“Congratulations to President Trump for drawing 4,000 people last night to a rally Warren, MI. Keep it up,” Sanders wrote in a post on the social platform X. “You brought out almost half as many people as we did in the same city last month!” “Americans are fighting back against authoritarianism and attacks on the working class.”

Sanders was criticizing the turnout at the rally Trump held Tuesday in Macomb County to celebrate his first 100 days back in office. Trump began his speech by mentioning Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-N.Y.) rallies across the country in opposition of his administration.

Ocasio-Cortez poked at Trump online after he claimed his crowd was bigger than that of the Democrats. “Tell me we’re in his head without telling me we’re in his head,” she wrote in a post online.

But this poster was implying she appeared at the Warren rally and complimented him at that rally. Didn't happen.

A false right wing talking point has been circulating that Whitmer appeared with Trump at his Warren rally and he praised her. But she never appeared at Trump’s rally. Now, True Blue American is suggesting Whitmer appeared at the rally and that SHE praised/flattered Trump, which is even worse than the original false right talking point.

I just have zero tolerance for false right wing talking points being repeated on DU, as True Blue American appears to have done here.

It should have been four. In a more sane world, it would have been.

That that many people would go to see the likes of him boggles my little mind.

Color me shocked.

I once told my RW relatives that there's no such thing as liberal media and they laughed in my face, so what do I know?

I was looking for Trump's crowd size because the laughter and cheers over the people of color being abused sounded like weak sauce to me.

Remember the huge roars of the crowds in Kamala's rallies? Sounded nothing close to the very weak noises coming from Trump's 100 day rally. Even their jeers of insults were pathetically quiet.

Any chance that "crowd size" is a cute new term to describe Trump's "wee-wee?"

Krasnov had 4000 at his "rally" but according to MLive there were more than 3000 outside protesting. My thought is based on + or - margins both crowds were likely equal in attendance. And the fact that in Macomb county the automotive industry employs 12,000, Krasnov should have had a much bigger audience.

More than 3,000 people protest President Donald J. Trump as he delivers a speech about the successes of his first 100 days in office on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 at Macomb Community College in Warren.Jake May | MLive.com
