All were forced to leave because of the weather, the event was cancelled, and everyone was gone because of lightning,\u201d Trump wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Even by Trump\u2019s own estimates, the crowd would still fall short of the turnout for the 1976 Bicentennial, whichThe New York Times reported at the time drew roughly 500,000 people for the parade alone, according to Newsweek. <\/p>\n<p>The president claimed he then personally \u201coverturned\u201d the decision to cancel his speech, while seemingly conceding that some attendees did not return for his address, which started at 11:15 p.m., an hour and 30 minutes after originally planned.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2920\">Trump Makes Stunning Confession in Truth Social Rampage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I heard that it was cancelled, I immediately overturned that decision, and waited a while for people to come back,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIncredibly, at least 150,000 people returned, and it was an even more spectacular evening than it would have been as normalized!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president congratulated the Secret Service and law enforcement for \u201cbeing able to get so many people back into the Arena in such rapid fashion!\u201d According to the BBC, thousands of attendees were stuck outside the event grounds for an extended period during the chaotic re-entry process. <\/p>\n<p>The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Trump routinely obsesses about the crowd size at his rallies and speeches. A day after images showed less-than-expected crowds at his speech to kick off the Great American State Fair last month\u2014including scores of people walking out as he spoke\u2014the president claimed the event was \u201cpacked to the brim\u201d with 45,000 people. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wish we were able to have an even larger area, which we will be able to do on July 4th when I\u2019ll be speaking again,\u201d he wrote on Truth Social at the time. \u201cEverybody stayed right until the end of my Speech because they loved hearing about a truly successful America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Insiders told CNN last week that the commander-in-chief was \u201clivid\u201d over the low turnout for his opening remarks after seeing large gaps in the crowd in an aerial image. <\/p>\n<p>White House officials who had shared images of the speech were reportedly even told in no uncertain terms to delete them from their social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2918\">Trump Inserts Himself Into World Cup Drama<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump launched into a rambling defense of the turnout for his speech marking America\u2019s 250th anniversary after videos showed rows of empty seats.
