A pro-Trump “rally” held Saturday in Monument Square is a hot topic on social media, but not for the reasons supporters had hoped.

William Hall of Gray organized the Portland event as a response to the president’s travel ban.

Eight people showed up.

Eight.

Just a week earlier, this happened:

“Thousands protest Trump policies at 2 rallies in Portland”

Critics on Twitter couldn’t ignore the numbers, chiming in with jabs like “Almost too many to count on one hand” and “Crooked media doctored photos of HUGE rally. Disgusting.”

Trump supporter Doug Prevost attempted to defend his position to WGME, saying “… (Trump) has an awful lot of backers behind him.”

Twitter disagreed.

More people showed up to my birthday party and I’m realllly unlikeable. https://t.co/969D9N4cGU — Adrienne Kisson (@akisson) February 6, 2017
