Donald Trump was boasting about the greatness of his campaign rally sizes at just the wrong time on Wednesday.
As the former president was declaring that his rallies have massive attendance and nobody leaves early, a MAGA fan behind him got up and left.

Rally size has been notoriously a sore spot of Trump, who has contended his rallies are the greatest in the history of mankind.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has consistently mocked his fascination with crowds.

Though the former presidents rallies are normally packed, there are regularly some that trickle out the back of the venues, which often are arenas or other grand locations.
But with the duration of such productions usually dragging on past 5 hours for some attendees, even the MAGA faithful bow out early.
But maybe Trump cant see all the way to the back.
