donald trump is a supporter even though he hasn t said so. appreciate you being there. joining me now is will summer, reporter for the daily beast writing for q non since its inception. do you have any idea how many people believe ins the conspiracy theories? i certainly don t want to paint people they were saying it s relatively small number of people who went to this rally. hard to tell how many people believe in it. you wouldn t want to say everyone at the rally, a diehard trump supporter. at the same time, the numbers at these rallies we re seeing, maybe a couple dozen believers. that s pretty bizarre in april there was a rally in d.c., a
