Saw a clip from a 2016 rally in Florida that made me check something

I looked up the crowd size at that same venue for an event he held there last month. The difference is huge, like three times as many people showed up now. What's causing this big jump in support?

Look at the weather and the day of the week for both events. A rally on a rainy Tuesday in 2016 is going to draw a totally different crowd than a sunny Saturday rally now. Also, the way they count people at these things is pretty loose, they often count the overflow area and people watching screens outside the main venue. The hype machine is just way bigger now, so it pulls in more curious folks. I don't think the core support has actually tripled in size.

Used to think it was all hype until I saw the footage from both events side by side. The camera pans show way more people packed in tight now, not just spread out in a bigger space. Changed my mind seeing how many folks actually showed up in person.
