Trump shared two videos showing a long line of attendees waiting to enter an event, with a speaker comparing the turnout to a previous rally in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump posted two videos on Truth Social showing a long line of people stretching down a street outside an event venue, with a speaker comparing the crowd size to a previous gathering in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Here is the full post on Truth Social: “Let’s look how far the line is down there, all the way down the street. I mean, this line reminds me of the time I was in Jo- uh Johnstown, Pennsylvania. And we walked to the back of the line. I think it took 15-20 minutes almost.
Um this is a huge crowd. This is unbelievable to see once again. Every time I come to these events, it’s just to see the amount of people because we’re walking this line here. I thought it was only to the end of the street to your right. And said it’s way down the street and it’s still going.
And just imagine if they didn’t let the crowd in. Usually right now everybody’s standing, right? The doors weren’t supposed to open until 2:00 Central. Well, here we are. There the doors are open and we’re seeing just the crowd just uh filter in here.
Uh these this is us, right? This is you and me. This is we the people.” on October 3, 2026 at 7:21 AM ET.

President Trump is the author of Trump: The Art of the Deal, Trump: Think Like a Billionaire: Everything You Need to Know About Success, Real Estate, and Life, and Think Big: Make It Happen in Business and Life. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
