According to the Post reporter, the photo was taken about an hour before Trump's speech.
Here's what we know after nearly a decade of Trump rallies. Many Trump fans miss those who spoke before Trump, so relying on photos taken before Trump's speech often underestimates the size of the crowd. That said, 80-100,000 cannot be accommodated in the rally area. It would be physically impossible if people were not laid down and stacked on top of each other.
Here is a video of the crowd pan.
There is also a video of people leaving the rally early.

Any estimate of the actual size of the crowd would be a guess. Local officials expected tens of thousands of people, and if all the people were included in the venue, they could accommodate 10,000 people, but a crowd of 80,000-100,000 would be physically impossible.
This will come as a surprise to no one, but Donald Trump and his supporters lied about the size of the crowd because the evidence shows that Trump is not a national float but an old man playing the old hits on the beach until attendance dwindles. .
