Photographs of King's speech show a large number of people. It was a million people.
According to historians, the number of people who attended King's speech is more than 200,000.
Trump said that his pictures were the same, but the people were closer together. They were the same size. There was more than one person. If you looked at it, they were closer together.
According to the former president, only 25,000 people attended his speech.
The Chicago Tribune reported that the crowds were thinner than Trump's speech in 2019. There is no estimate for attendance in 2019.
Trump said that his January 6, 2021, speech on the National Mall had more people in it than his January 6, 2021, speech on the Capitol. He claimed that the speech was the largest he'd ever spoken to.
The former president claims that the crowd size was "censored" by the media and that a "sacred number" attended his speech.
There were at least 10,000 people at the event.
