According to officials in New Jersey, President Trump’s rally in Wildwood was attended by around 100,000 people. This makes this political rally the largest “single purpose” political rally ever held.
Almost all massive political rallies are a combination of entertainment figures and the political candidate. Bands, singers and music concerts used as the hook to draw in massive audiences. Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and to a lesser extent Bernie Sanders, used this construct; almost exclusively using the venue of colleges and universities for the optimal visual impact.
However, in the era of President Donald Trump he stands alone as the single entity able to draw such a following to his political rallies, speeches and events. During yesterday’s Wildwood New Jersey rally, former NFL superstars Lawrence Taylor and O.J. Anderson of NY Giants speak for Trump.
