Summary
45,000 people attended Wednesday's Great American State Fair rally in Washington, Trump said in social media posts, calling the crowd "packed to the brim" and saying supporters stayed through the end of his speech.
The White House has not released independent attendance figures, and Trump's estimate could not immediately be verified.
July 4 is now Trump's next focus: he urged supporters to come to a Washington celebration he said will feature the largest military flyovers yet, with hundreds of aircraft.
9 p.m. is when Trump said he plans to speak at the event, which he said will run from the afternoon until just before midnight and end with fireworks he claimed would be about 10 times larger than any in U.S. history.
