Donald Trump was boasting about the greatness of his campaign rally sizes at just the wrong time on Wednesday.
As the former president was declaring that his rallies have massive attendance and nobody leaves early, a MAGA fan behind him got up and left.
The episode was caught in the background of the live stream of his rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, with six days to go to Election Day.
Rally size has been notoriously a sore spot of Trump, who has contended his rallies are the greatest in the history of mankind.
Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has consistently mocked his fascination with crowds.
Trump was boasting about how no one ever leaves his rallies early just as some one was seemingly leaving behind him
'Its sad, we've done this for nine years, we've had the greatest rallies in the history of the world,' Trump said Wednesday.
'Chancellors and prime ministers, people would tell me they watch the rallies from Europe.'
'Everybody watches our rallies, everybody loves our rallies, we never have an empty seat. They try to demean us like that horrible, horrible person that I debated where she said
Just as Trump was declaring this, a man in a black shirt featuring the ex-president's Georgia criminal mugshot began walked off the platform from behind Trump.
Appearing to step down through the stands the man vanished behind Trump's dominating silhouette in the foreground of the shot.
Former US President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives to speak at a campaign rally at the Rocky Mount Event Center in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on October 30, 2024.
'Its sad, we've done this for nine years, we've had the greatest rallies in the history of the world,' he said. 'Chancellors and prime ministers, people would tell me they watch the rallies from Europe'
'Everybody watches our rallies, everybody loves our rallies, we never have an empty seat. They try to demean us like that horrible, horrible person that I debated where she said, 'and people leave early,' nobody leaves early,' the Republican continued on.
Though the former president's rallies are normally packed, there are regularly some that trickle out the back of the venues, which often are arenas or other grand locations.
But with the duration of such productions usually dragging on past 5 hours for some attendees, even the MAGA faithful bow out early.
But maybe Trump can't see all the way to the back.
Fans look on at Trump during his rally
'If I saw them leaving early you know what Id say I'd say 'ladies and gentleman thank you very much and make America great again thank you very much' and leave,' the Republican said.
'But I've never had to do that.'
Spotting the clip's irony the Harris campaign posted reposted it on social media sharing the awkward the moment.
'Trump claims 'nobody leaves' his rallies early as people leave early behind him,' the Harris campaign X account posted.
