Barron Trump's Friend Bo Claims Donald's NJ Rally Had A Bigger Crowd Than Taylor Swift's Concert; Netizens Debunk Claim
Barron Trump's pal Bo Loudon raised eyebrows over a tweet about Donald Trump's rally.
Bo took to X, formerly Twitter, to compare the number of people who attended Trump's rally in New Jersey and Swift's concert in the same state. According to him, more people showed up at the rally.
"Rightful President Trump's NJ rally was nearly 30K people LARGER than Taylor Swift's 2023 NJ concert. At Taylor's concert at the MetLife Stadium, she had a crowd size of 72,802," he wrote.
"Trump's NJ rally had a crowd size of 100,000! Sure, [it] would be a shame if everyone shared this!"

Bo's tweet received several responses, with many questioning it because there were conflicting reports about the actual figure during the rally.
"First people said it was 50k then they said it was 80k and then now they're saying it's 100K. By the end of tomorrow, it's going to be 500k," one commented, seemingly laughing off at Loudon's tweet, as shown in the accompanying gif.
Another said, "The venue has a permitted crowd size of 20k. Still a significant number, but that wasn't a stadium."
"Now it's 100K?" another asked, along with a rolling on-the-floor laughing emoji.
"And yes, it would be a shame If everyone shared this. Because it's sharing false information," a different user remarked.
Trump's campaign officials said nearly 100,000 people gathered at Wildwood, New Jersey, for the beachside rally, and they dubbed it a "mega crowd." However, the Republican mayor of Wildwood, Ernie Troiano Jr., previously said that it could only accommodate up to 20,000 people.
It remains unclear how many people showed up at the rally and how many stayed because there were people caught on camera walking out while Trump was still talking on stage.
Meanwhile, there was no doubt that thousands of people flocked to the area to support Trump. Several individuals who attended the rally spoke with CBS News and shared their experiences.
"Memorial weekend came early, I would say, so we love it. It's wonderful," said Isabel Betancourt, who attended the campaign rally.
"I almost couldn't get here because the traffic was so thick walking from North Wildwood to here," Denise Keegan, who traveled from National Park, New Jersey, added.
The outlet also shared snaps of people who didn't have tickets and gathered on the beach through fences set up on the boardwalk. Many people also piled into Capt'n Jack's because the bar and restaurant's beachfront balcony overlooks the stage.
Sean Dougherty, one of the owners of the bar, likened the event to a "Fourth of July, Labor Day weekend and Memorial Day weekend all packed into one." According to him, a normal Saturday in May is usually slow, but last weekend was different.
"This is such a boost to start paying bills, paying my Cisco bill, my food my liquor bills. This was a big, big help," he added.
Loudon's post comes after a report revealed that he and Barron, who are very close and inseparable, got in trouble. The "rambunctious" duo reportedly got into a minor accident involving a golf cart recently. They were allegedly running around in Mar-a-Lago when the golf cart clattered into a Secret Service kiosk.
"Barron and Bo kind of run around Mar-a-Lago like Eloise in the legendary children's books about the little girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel. They are full of energy and keen to make their mark in the world," an insider said of the pair.
