'Million MAGA March' Pro-Trump Protest Clowned for Underwhelmingly Low Turnout

People are pointing out the "Million MAGA March" is not as large or successful as Trump supporters are trying to claim online.

Hundreds of Donald Trump supporters gather in the state capital of Pennsylvania

Following Donald Trump's loss in the presidential election to President-elect Joe Biden, his supporters decided to try and emulate Louis Farrakhan's 1995 Million Man March on Washington, calling it their "Million MAGA March" because... of course, they would. Their march, however, didn't receive the same kind of turnout that the real Million Man March did.

Indeed, a “million” march, this is not. @WUSA9 @CBSNews

Despite some Trump supporters trying to tout an astonishing turnout for the demonstration, videos and pictures prove that the crowd looks like it barely had over 5,000 people in it, not the "one million" that they are reporting.

AMAZING!

More than one MILLION marchers for President @realDonaldTrump descend on the swamp in support.

It also looks as though Trump himself drove through the march in his Motorcade as well, but he did not participate or speak during it.

While I'm not completely sure what the goal was behind the "Million MAGA March," it definitely wasn't met. Others pointed out that the march mostly consisted of the hardcore Trump zealots and others selling racist paraphernalia. 

The Million MAGA March is a huge failure. Dismal turnout with only the most hardcore pro-Trump losers in attendance. pic.twitter.com/5ogGkqTboB

When a “million maga march” is called in DC, and a few thousand people show up saying things like “Kyle Rittenhouse did nothing wrong” you need to understand that this is what the Republican Party is now.

The fact that the Million Maga March would co-opt the language of the Million Man March is so offensive. Typical love-the-culture-but-not-the-people move. Offensive.

Others used a different hashtag, #MillionMoronMarch, to point out how ridculous it was.

“I’m hear to laugh at people & this ridiculous crybaby attempt to say the votes don’t count if we don’t get what we want. And I’ve come to feast on their tears”#MillionMoronMarch #DCProtests pic.twitter.com/XtDuy0fFaG
