While funny, wasn't this later shown to be cherry picked and was actually quite some time before the speech began and there were thousands of people outside the rally as well as in?

I’ve seen both versions of the claims, some of them with photo timestamps that might or might not be accurate. But Trump does have a history of claiming that thousands of people were turned away without then substantiating those claims.
He’s got a weird history of making up and fixating on attendance numbers that don’t seem to have much of a connection to reality. Like the one on the Jersey shore where he claimed there were over 100,000 people at a venue that could accommodate less than 20,000.
This was a hoot:
