def thousands more at *each* event ✊

wouldn't want anyone to get big mad adding them all up, and comparing to his inauguration attendance, so let's just randomly pick a recent one...
image of the national mall during a trump inauguration: the density looking at area of people to open area is probably close to 50/50, let's just say you can zoom into multiple large areas available to be occupied by attendees and not see anyone
