JUST IN: President Trump Reveals How Many People Attended America 250 Celebrations in D.C.

The numbers are in…

In a post on Truth Social, President Trump revealed how many patriots came out to celebrate America’s 250th birthday in Washington, D.C.

He explained that, originally, there were a whopping 422,000 people in the crowd. That’s nearly half a million people!

However, all of these folks were forced to evacuate due to the weather — until President Trump stepped in and demanded that the show go on, no matter what!

Ultimately, a still sizeable crowd of 150,000 returned in about an hour to attend his speech and watch the record-breaking fireworks show.

Here’s a closer look at President Trump’s full Truth Social post:

The Crowd at 7:05 in the evening was 422,000 people! All were forced to leave because of the weather, the event was cancelled, and everyone was gone because of lightning. When I heard that it was cancelled, I immediately overturned that decision, and waited a while for people to come back. Incredibly, at least 150,000 people returned, and it was an even more spectacular evening than it would have been as normalized! It showed work under pressure. Congratulations to the Secret Service and Law Enforcement on being able to get so many people back into the Arena in such rapid fashion! It was an amazing evening made even more spectacular by the fact that, immediately after the Great Fireworks ended, the rains came down, full blast! President DONALD J. TRUMP

What an amazing turnout — especially the fact that so many people returned after the event was seemingly canceled.

And, I bet you won’t be able to find a single person who doesn’t think it was worth it!

President Trump gave one of his best speeches yet, and the fireworks were simply stunning.
