BREAKING: "OH MY GOD! OUCH!" Morning Joe’s Mika bursts out laughing after Fox News accidentally exposes Trump’s latest crowd size disaster at his "Great State Fair!"
Donald Trump has spent years obsessing over crowd sizes, so naturally his allies are still trying to convince America that sparse turnouts are actually massive gatherings if you just squint hard enough.
That effort hit a brick wall Monday when co-host Mika Brzezinski watched a Fox News segment defending attendance at Trump’s Freedom 250 “Great American State Fair” event and simply lost it.
Trump has claimed that 45,000 people attended his speech at the Trump-backed celebration in Washington, D.C., despite multiple reports and visual evidence suggesting the crowd was dramatically smaller.
News outlets estimated attendance at roughly 1,000 people, and photos showed that the audience occupied only a relatively small portion of the event grounds. 
Still, Fox News correspondent Kevin Corke insisted viewers were getting the wrong impression.
“And sometimes the pictures really don’t tell the full story because if you look behind us you see, okay there are a couple hundred people back there,” Corke said.
“But the truth is when you make your way over here and you're in a wash of people.”
That’s when Mika lost it.
“Oh my God!” she exclaimed before bursting into laughter. “OUCH!”
Corke said it with a straight face, but the camera didn't lie. 
As Corke attempted to explain that unseen multitudes were lurking somewhere beyond the lens, viewers could plainly see a large open grassy area behind him that looked considerably less like Woodstock and considerably more like a county fair that forgot to advertise.
Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg delivered the coup de grâce.
“If only they had employees who knew how to operate cameras that could capture these images he describes,” Goldberg quipped.
For years, Trump has treated crowd sizes the way Captain Ahab treated the white whale. No matter what else is happening in the world, he always seems to circle back to proving that more people showed up for him than for anyone else.
Unfortunately for Team Trump, cameras remain stubbornly nonpartisan.
