On Saturday, leading 2024 presidential candidate and 45th President Donald Trump spoke to a massive crowd in Waterloo, Iowa for an upcoming leadoff caucus so large that many supporters had to be turned away and remain outside the building.
According to One America News’ Daniel Baldwin, over 1,500 people managed to fit into the venue, while many other supporters had to be turned away.

“The crowd's reaction to Pres. Trump walking out in Waterloo felt like an earthquake. The crowd was roaring,” Baldwin wrote.
In 2016, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton held an event at the same venue in Waterloo and only managed to attract about 200 people.
Trump will also be speaking in Cedar Rapids to another large crowd on Saturday.
During Trump’s speech, he reacted to the Hamas attack on Israel that happened earlier in the day, saying, “This will be the most important election in our lifetime. The Israeli attack was made because we are perceived as being weak and ineffective with a weak leader.”
“Things aren’t as good as they were three years ago. Afghanistan pullout the most embarrassing thing we’ve ever seen,” Trump added.
“It has to be dealt with very powerfully. This is a time when the United States needs leadership. But Israel is at war. The US is obviously going to stick with Israel strongly,” Trump also said.
“Americans were better off with a gentleman named President Donald J. Trump,” he explained.
On Saturday morning, Hamas terrorist fighters launched a surprise attack and crossed the border into Israel after firing anywhere from 2,500 to 5,000 rockets from the Gaza Strip leading Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare a state of war.
So far, over 300 Israelis have tragically died. Hamas has kidnapped Israeli soldiers and is currently holding 33 prisoners of war, including civilians.
“Our enemy will pay a price the type of which it has never known. We are in a war and we will win it,” Netanyahu said in a video.
In September, Biden agreed to release over $6 billion in frozen assets to Iran in exchange for prisoners.
Three weeks later, Hamas terrorists, backed by Iran, declared war on Israel and are aiming to kill as many Israeli citizens as they can.
Trump predicted this would happen. On September 11, Trump wrote in a post on his top-rated social media platform, “Can you believe that Crooked Joe Biden is giving $6 Billion to the terrorist regime in Iran?”
“That money be used for terrorism all over the Middle East, and, indeed, the World. This incompetent FOOL is absolutely destroying America. He had the audacity to announce this terrible deal today, September 11th,” Trump added.
Meanwhile, deep in his dank lair of the DoJ, Jack “Smith” broods and plots his next move to strip the peasants of their choice.
1500 is a massive crowd...ROTFLOL
Like the T Rex of Ages past, when President Trump bestrides the podium, the earth quakes! He descended from his golden mansion to save US. They’re not after him - He’s only in The Way. He is being indicted for all of us.
Hillary sees a lot of re-education camps that are needed for their de-programming.
1,500? Who organized this? That’s not even a Trump-sized rally. Seems they picked a venue with insufficient space.
It was near 10X the hillary turnout . . . back when she was popular.

Small venue, neocon.
What was interesting, there was no mention of this visit in any of the local news outlets online. I’d no idea Mr. Trump was visiting until I was looking over YouTube feeds. I looked again, and if there was any announcement it was buried deep, I couldn’t find it.
They did have mention he visit-ed after a day or two.
I remember when Mr. Bill visited right before the election. NOBODY showed up, except for the press and a few diehards. There were a couple tight photographs showing a crowd, but the other photographs taken at a wider angle showed the hall was empty. Maybe 25 or 30 people. It was surreal.
This was the National Cattle Congress, not designed for sports stadium type crowds. No doubt some wealthy players there. Meet and greet.
I think the main area there is 5000 square feet.
btt
That is what could fit in the room. More were outside.

You are absolutely correct.
And I wish PDJT would make that point more often. It is ultimately not about HIM. It is about US and the future that WE choose for ourselves and our progeny.
Trump is the engine of change. We must be the drivers.

Massive for that venue... NOT massive compared to Trump's outdoor rallies.
