Did you hear? Eleventy bazillion people showed up to hear Donald Vonshitzinpants drone on for hours about himself in Wildwood, New Jersey. Welp, Lisa Fagan, spokesperson for the city of Wildwood, is the one who guestimated that between 80,000 and 100,000 attendees were there, “based on her own observations on the scene Saturday, having seen ‘dozens’ of other events in the same space.” This really needs a 'Sure, Jan" gif. Trumpers ran with that number, but Fagan and I’m going to guess that she’s a Trump supporter, who knows, was way off.

The story has changed. Wildwood officials now say the 80K to 100K number was not the number on the beach at the rally but the total number of people “in our town,” including restaurants, bars, and other places. Imagine that.

    It’s actually not so bad because it’s quiet most of the year. Tourist season does suck, though.
