The best available public reports put attendance at around 105,000 to 150,000 people for the DC America 250 celebration, depending on whether you’re counting the crowd before weather cutbacks or the people who actually stayed for the speech. One report says the crowd was initially about 300,000 but fell to 105,000 after storms, while another says Trump told the crowd he was speaking to over 150,000 people on the National Mall.
