One of my favorite alternate reality stories.

In the 2016 campaign, Obama travelled to Germany and spoke in a park. 250,000 people came to hear him. After he won the nomination he spoke in a stadium with a maximum capacity of 60,000. A story in the New York Post said that Obama was losing popularity because his rallies had gone from 250,000 to a mere 60,000.
