Trump humiliated by 'most beautiful' aide as she inadvertently exposes true rally crowd size
President Donald Trump's "most beautiful" White House aide, Margot Martin, seemed to inadvertently reveal the truth behind who actually attended Trump's rally in Ohio over the weekend.
On Saturday, October 3, Trump, 80, traveled to Vandalia, Ohio, to speak at his rally as he continues to campaign for the Republican Party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Martin, 31, shared several moments from the rally held at the Vandalia-Butler High School gymnasium on social media, including a clip of Trump standing at the podium as the crowd cheered.
As the short snippet continued, the camera panned the gym, showing that while there were many Trump supporters in attendance, the small high school gym still wasn't at maximum capacity.
