So over 100,000 wanted to attend yesterday’s Trump’s 2020 kickoff rally in Orlando Florida. Outside of the 20,000 seat arena, where the basketball team plays, were thousands of people watching the rally on big screens. Now let’s compare Trump’s second term kickoff rally to that of Hussein Obama in 2012. The media would always fawn over how big the crowds Obama would get for his rallies, in both 2008 and 2012. Funny thing is, Obama only had about 14,000 for his 2012 kickoff rally at Ohio State University in Columbus. It was so pathetic that Obama couldn’t even fill the Ohio University arena to capicpacity. Obama had about 14,000 back in 2020 for an arena that seats about 20,000 like Orlando. Funny how that works.

Orlando’s Amway Center, which holds approximately 20,000 people, appeared to be filled to capacity Tuesday night, according to Fox News producers inside.
TRUMP LAUNCHES RE-ELECTION BID BEFORE JAM-PACKED ARENA, VOWS TO ‘KEEP AMERICA GREAT’
But when Obama launched his 2012 reelection bid with an event at Ohio State University in Columbus, that city’s fire department estimated the crowd at only around 14,000 inside an arena that held about 20,000 people, according to Obama’s campaign. The crowd was smaller than his average turnouts at comparable rallies throughout his first campaign for the 2008 election.
At that Ohio event, Obama supporters filled only about half of the arena while much of the upper deck remained empty, according to estimates by Politico.
