It clearly establishes the fact there were Muslims celebrating on roof tops. Did you want an exact number? You nor the MSM have any idea the extent of the “celebrating”. Btw, there were reports from multiple sources this was happening all over.

Neither I nor anybody else would dispute that. I knew there were celebrations, but did recall that they were small.

Exactitude isn't necessary to convey a reasonable picture of the truth. What Trump did was paint a picture of a massive street demonstration as opposed to a group of potential conspirators on a roof. His is such a wild exaggeration (plural "thousands" as opposed to less than a dozen) that it communicated something so different that his credibility is open to question on this topic.

It reminds me of the kind of tales told by Hillary in Yugoslavia or Brian Williams in Iraq. So if you want to suffer the consequences of the slings and arrows for the occasional whopper hyperbole, just stick with your guy. Enjoy defending the indefensible, as it will leave you open to outright ridicule. In addition, if you do continue defending this, you should give up on criticizing the left for such deeds, in the interest of not being a hypocrite.
