    The point of the article is to challenge Trump’s claims about the audience size during his speech, not to suggest he’s losing support. Mostly just to catch him in more lies.

      Both the headline and the first sentence imply that people are walking out on Trump while he’s speaking, as though that is a significant, coordinated event. The overestimated crowd figures are a secondary point in the article, probably because that also isn’t news. Future biographers and historians will have “Trump exaggerated the size of [something]” as autocomplete.
