In his announcement to run for President,
Trump said:
"WOW! Look at this crowd. More than a thousand people! The other candidates can't even fill a room."

Then the camera turned and showed about 100 people, in a pretty empty room,
many who were paid $50 to show up.

Which is held regardless of who the President is.
So Trump supporters actually could put together only two.

But Trump's claim that he had more balls to attend after attending the third official ball was a lie.
