I tried to ignore this.
Really, I tried.
And yet it kept filling up my Twitter feed.
For days…
Allow me to explain.
Apparently there is some guy named “Bill Mitchell” who appears to be a RINO Republican.
Loves DeSanctus.
HATES Trump.
Acts like the President of the Never-Trumper Fan Club.
And it seems something in his brain snapped a couple days ago when Trump held his massive Rally in South Carolina.
Because ever since that huge rally, Mitchell has sent (by my count, I may have missed some) 55 Tweets melting down over how the crowd was “not as big” as they say it was.
Fox News got it wrong.
Politico got it wrong.
Trump got it wrong.
The local sheriff got it wrong.
Everyone is wrong, except for Bill Mitchell….according to Bill Mitchell.
I debated whether or not I wanted to show you all of this and bring attention to him but it’s too funny not to share.
So behold, Bill Mitchell’s 55 Tweet (and counting) meltdown….
Donald John Trump is living rent free in this guy’s giant-sized head.
It started BEFORE the event, when he was questioning how many chairs were pre-setup:
That doesn't look like 30,000 chairs to me. Classic Trump crowd trick. Offer a long narrow strip of seating then take pictures cutting off the edges so the crowd looks MUCH bigger than it is. Also, never takes pictures from the back of the room.
This seating area looks big.… pic.twitter.com/eYxecFsCgS

Is Trump REALLY expecting 30,000 in Pickens? This is a picture of Littlejohn arena at Clemson University. It holds only 9000.
Is Trump's crowd in tiny Pickens going to be 3 TIMES this large? pic.twitter.com/dbqLkOgmkH
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Dude was getting his redass on WELL in advance of the Rally even happening:
The Trump Rally in Pickens only has seating for about 900. pic.twitter.com/2Ks4Vw5tyx
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Tweet 4:
If this entire seating section was full of red hats, it would look like a HUGE crowd, but it would really only be 800 people. This is a picture of Littlejohn arena at Clemson on the right. If that was packed it would look like 50,000 people but it would really only be 10,000.… pic.twitter.com/901tMjThLQ
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
5:
Do these Trumpers know what 30,000 people looks like? This is Littlejohn Stadium at Clemson. That holds 10,000.
The crowd for Trump today is nowhere near this large. pic.twitter.com/PZQnmTwLGI
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Then he starts doing a bunch of stadiums as comparisons:
THIS is 10,000 people. Were there THREE TIMES this many in Pickens today? Lol, no. pic.twitter.com/WyDFwn1ARF
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
After the Rally he is dumbfounded so many people actually showed up:
Is Trump claiming there were THREE TIMES this many people in Pickens today? pic.twitter.com/CahnrvM5tX
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Comparison to Notre Dame:
Some in Trumpville were claiming there were 75,000 in Pickens today. Lol, hilarious. pic.twitter.com/zngUnvsxKf
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Back to 10,000:
I've circled about 500 people in this picture. That's about the size of the overflow crowd at the Trump rally.
There was room for 800 to sit. So seated plus overflow gets us to 1300.
How do we get to 30,000? Preposterous. This is 10,000 and there were nowhere near this many… pic.twitter.com/Y8bIk1ESCI
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Then about this time is when I first notice he starts limiting who can reply to his Tweets.
UH OH!
Here's an aerial shot of the entire seating area for the rally up to the media stands. I'm sure there were another thousand or so in overflow but as you can see, nowhere near 30k. Not even close to 10k. The arena pic is 10k. pic.twitter.com/J7WfsOV7F2
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Then it starts to get really funny to me because he starts posting pictures that sure look to me like massive crowds for Trump:
Trumpers, here's an aerial shot of the entire seating area from today's rally right up to the media stands. Even if there were 1000 in overflow, this entire crowd was maybe 2000. Sorry. pic.twitter.com/6MF72eoeds
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Another one for Trump:
Here's the picture Trump just posted on Truth Social. This is maybe 2000 people. Notice all the empty space. This isn't 30,000.
Good rally for Trump, but let's not get crazy with the numbers. 😊 pic.twitter.com/c1fX1oZZvb
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
Back to obsessing over 10,000:
Lol, no it wasn't 10,000. This is 10,000. pic.twitter.com/EW8b7sSO53
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 1, 2023
More:
Let me remind the Trumpers once again what 10,000 people looks like. Trump did NOT have 10,000 or anything close today. pic.twitter.com/xEH3Q3tNpk
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then he starts focusing on 20,000:
Apparently FoxNews and Politico are saying Trump had 20,000 people at his rally today. THIS is what 20,000 people looks like next to Trump's crowd. Trump's crowd is obviously MUCH MUCH MUCH smaller. pic.twitter.com/4xPcoCPTNx
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then 30,000 — guy is all over the map:
This is what 30,000 people look like, not Trump's tiny crowd. https://t.co/xTg0nspTB4
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
From 10 to 20 to 30 and now 50,000:
I never cease to be amazed at Trumpers willingness to believe the craziest things. They really think THIS is 50,000 people. Lol. pic.twitter.com/TD1KNzZ47G
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then back to 75,000 again:
This is what 75,000 people looks like. This was Trump's crowd. https://t.co/F5dZtFzwlA pic.twitter.com/50hHRl5SPT
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Not even sure what this means:
I live in Pickens and there were 300,000 people and one toilet there! We ran out of toilet paper. Luckily Trump brought boxes of classified documents.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then he thinks he really has it….
He finds one obscure picture, not even clear on what time it was taken or where it was taken, probably on the outskirts of the event, where he sees a little space in the crowd and he thinks “now I’ve got Trump!”
Look at the big empty spaces in Trump's crowd. It wasn't even packed! pic.twitter.com/UtjDpZbo9D
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Hilarious Bill.
How much headspace is this taking up for you?
Must be enormous.
Then he goes back to obsessing over the 10,000:
The Pickens police chief clearly needs to be drug-tested because there weren't anywhere near 50,000 in Pickens today. That would be 5 times this arena full of people. pic.twitter.com/bGxh2D1zfA
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Late on July 1 he’s up late and we get our first Tweet about 80,000:
This is 80,000 silly Trumper. https://t.co/7hYS1vkD9O pic.twitter.com/iYFerQfIF4
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Next morning we move into something new…
Bill clearly got some rest and had a new brainstorm as he slept…..HEAT MAPS!
Here's the size of the Trump crowd in front of the media stands and to the sides. I estimated 1,000 to 1250 just based upon a visual count yesterday.
The AI counter says 1165, so not far off. pic.twitter.com/xoyTh21q4G
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Heat maps to 50,000:
CROWD SIZE BUSTED:
Here is the size of the Trump Rally Crowd using an AI crowd counter. No, it wasn't 50,000, it was 1543!
As usual, Trump is LYING to us.
Anyone who looks at this picture and sees 50,000 people has lost their damned minds! pic.twitter.com/BGXbguuLul
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
More heat maps, more aerials:
Trump had a nice little rally in Pickens, SC on a hot day but he is ruining it with lies about the crowd size. These claims of 75,000 are preposterous. Even 10,000 is a joke. There were maybe 2000 max. pic.twitter.com/gDsglE0NlX
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
He’s now used a heat map to find a picture with 555 people in it, Bill is getting high tech — although it’s unclear what this proves:
There are only about 600 people in that picture, and I'm being generous. https://t.co/4Av5Ouo21M pic.twitter.com/u9IrCNYZNe
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
This is the point, a full day after the Rally, where Bill runs out of steam and just starts posting the same message over and over.
Adopting the brute force method of melting down:
Are you one of the Trumpers who see "tens of thousands of people in this image? In reality, there are fewer than 600.
Don't be gaslighted. @alexbruesewitz pic.twitter.com/e4VzRQk0MR
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Now we’re back to big stadiums and 50,000 size crowds:
Here's a good overhead shot of the Pickens crowd. This is about 2000 people, not 50,000.
One other proof. Have you been to a major league baseball stadium and heard the crowd roar when someone hits a home run? It is deafening. Did you ever hear thunderous cheers like that… pic.twitter.com/cNWdNg3P3l
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Our first mention of a 46,000 crowd:
THIS IS 46,000 PEOPLE WHEN FULL. @alexbruesewitz pic.twitter.com/KloBfOvVwu
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then he starts taking aim at the local Sheriff:
Is the Picken's Sheriff claiming Trump could have filled Yankees Stadium??? https://t.co/F13KXZE4GE
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
From images we move to “sounds”:
Do you know what 50,000 people cheering all at once sounds like? It is thunder. Did you hear anything remotely like thunder at the Trump rally?
Nope.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Baseball stadiums:
Here are baseball stadiums that hold about 50,000 people. Trumps entire rally could have fit into one section. pic.twitter.com/JC2lgSLyC0
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then we get, I believe, our first 60,000 stadium:
For those who want to delude themselves into believing Trump had 50,000 in Pickens, THIS is what 60,000 looks like! https://t.co/QtwnFuXoKF
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then we get to the name calling, which is when you know for sure you’ve lost the argument.
TRUMP IS ON DRUGS!
TRUMP IS A DELUSIONAL LIAR!
That's it. Trump is on drugs.
He claims that 99% of the people he endorsed won. We know for a fact 64% of Trump endorsements in competitive swing districts in 2022 LOST.
He claims that there were 75,000 at his Pickens rally. Actually it was about 2000. This stadium is what… pic.twitter.com/9OW1GqRya1
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Oh, hold tight my friends, we’ve just crossed the halfway point….
Bill is just getting warmed up!
I know it’s hard to even READ this many Tweets but Bill typed them all out himself!
Back to attacking the Sheriff:
Funny how now a sheriff of a tiny town of 3000 is now a crowd size expert. 🤪
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Trump Rally from 2015:
Remember the good old days when Trump used to fill arenas? This is from the US Bank Arena where close to 20,000 turned out, including floor seating.
Fast forward to tiny Pickens. Trump is claiming that 75,000 turned out to see him in his most recent Truth Social post. That… pic.twitter.com/NtxdfWq43F
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then we’re back at Yankee Stadium:
According to the Pickens police chief, more people attended the Trump rally than a capacity crowd at Yankees Stadium.
Yankees Stadium holds 46,000.
Of course that is preposterous but it doesn't stop the cult from buying it hook line and sinker. pic.twitter.com/AOW5ElfAbb
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Then we get “where are all the cars and buses”?
Bill is going deep into the detective work now:
For the biggest crowd Trump has ever had, there are few pictures. https://t.co/Nq98tEZyMJ
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Where are all the cars?
Where the hell did they park 50,000 cars? I'd LOVE to see pictures of THAT! 🤪
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Back to heat maps:
Yes, more like 3000 based upon the images I saw. https://t.co/ZKa27TG2Mc pic.twitter.com/dqhQAHNw1y
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Nearly a day and a half later, even Bill is asking “why am I still talking about this?”
Why am I still debunking the Trump crowd lies? Because this bullsh*t is all over the news and being used to justify the garbage polls and create the false impression Trump is dominating.
His lead is as fake as these crowd numbers.
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Back to Yankee Stadium:
Instead of Pickens, Trump should have sold-out Yankee Stadium and given his speech from the pitcher's mound. Now THAT would have been impressive! pic.twitter.com/Vml9eZBN8k
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
BALD FACED LIE!
Today Trump told us that 99% of his 2022 endorsements won and 75,000 attended his rally in Pickens!
Both BALD-FACED lies.
Do his supporters care?
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Right back to Yankee Stadium:
Just think how impressive it would have been if Trump had sold-out Yankee Stadium rather than little Pickens?! pic.twitter.com/y0eLQNcxpd
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Heat maps again:
Trump's crowd in Pickens was less that 2000!
I have the receipts! pic.twitter.com/cQlkaB1ojd
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 2, 2023
Wow, back to Notre Dame, did not see that one coming this late in the game:
Don't forget. Trump is now on record claiming that 75,000 attended his Pickens rally. This is a blatant and provable lie. pic.twitter.com/XVRVhcTuVM
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 3, 2023
Now Retweeting himself:
Facts are facts. https://t.co/vkCovVgiOh
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 3, 2023
Back to aerials now which hilariously show a MASSIVE crowd for Trump:
Finally an aerial shot of Trump's entire rally crowd. He is claiming this is 75,000 people. I've also included a pic of what 75,000 people looks like for reference.
Trump lies. pic.twitter.com/ZlRMZ0zwJZ
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 3, 2023
Looks huge to me:
This is 3000 people at the most. Trump is claiming 75,000. pic.twitter.com/vCPkd1M9FK
— Bill Mitchell (@mitchellvii) July 3, 2023
He’s really obsessed about this photo….driving him nuts!
https://twitter.com/mitchellvii/status/1675807974986588162
Oh, here we are on DAY THREE where he’s back to showing a huge aerial photo for Trump:
Finally an aerial shot of Trump's entire rally crowd. He is claiming this is 75,000 people. I've also included a pic of what 75,000 people looks like for reference.
Trump lies. pic.twitter.com/ZlRMZ0zwJZ
