and because they had to wear those shirt, they were easy to count. Hardly anyone else was in the rally
group, so trump inadvertently showed less than 5-600 had turned up to listen to an 18 minute speech.

You could count the attendees that appeared to be about 500 including WH and campaign staffers. There were more masks than usual for a Trump event but still risky due to how tightly packed they were.
