Even though two experienced journalists on the scene said the rally was the smallest they had ever seen, Donald Trump boasted that a massive crowd turned out to see him. The size of the crowd in Commerce, Georgia, about an hour outside of Atlanta, was disappointing as the former president showed his support for several Republican primary candidates in the state. Greg Bluestein, a political reporter at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, has covered more than two dozen Trump rallies. Stephen Fowler is a reporter for Georgia Public Broadcasting. It is almost time for Trump to speak here in Georgia and there is probably no more than 5,000 people here, the smallest Trump rally I have ever covered here. Fowler noted that the rally in 2020 was less than the one in 2021, which was close to 10k. Fowler wrote a story about the rally and said that the revenge tour had failed. It’s almost time for Trump to speak here in Georgia and there’s probably no more than 5,000 people here, the smallest Trump rally I’ve ever covered here. Way less than the Perry rally in 2021 (closer to 10k) and nowhere close to 2020’s 20-30k+ #gapolpic.twitter.com/lokIiFONFC — stephen fowler (@stphnfwlr) March 26, 2022 Fowler's estimate of between 25,000 and 35,000 people was not true, according to Trump's spokeswoman. Bluestein pointed to an earlier post on the internet showing how sparse the crowd was, and he didn't believe that the numbers could be correct. Yeah, don’t believe the line that there were 25,000-35,000 people at the Trump rally last night. The crowd was far smaller and far quieter than other rallies in Georgia — and elsewhere — I’ve covered. Also, I just noticed an attendee in this shot indicating the media is #1. https://t.co/MorrMo2bMF — Greg Bluestein (@bluestein) March 27, 2022 Fowler noted that the weather was cold and windy, and that it probably didn't help attendance. People keep leaving during Trump speech. It’s cold and windy and there’s not much enthusiasm. Photos are from 8:50, 8:20, 7:20 from least to most crowds. pic.twitter.com/IMgCpfCF9H

The turnout matches what I have seen at GOP events across the state.
Trump is still going, and people are still leaving:Here's the big q/takeaway:
If Trump can't get a big friendly crowd in one of the most conservative districts in the country, then how will these underdog primary challengers prevail, and how will he carry that into 2024?

The former president claimed that he could not have lost the election because so many people attended his rallies.
Even though many photographs showed the crowd was much smaller than it had been in the past, Trump put an emphasis on crowd size.
