It wasn’t exactly a YUGE turnout.

A rally in support of President Donald Trump and his immigration ban in Portland, Maine, on Saturday is drawing attention on social media for all the wrong reasons: only a handful of people showed up, according to footage from local CBS station WGME.

“I’m just kind of letting you know there’s another side to the story,” Trump supporter Doug Prevost told the station. “Letting people know [Trump] has an awful lot of backers behind him.”

There appeared to be eight people at the rally.

Here’s some of the reaction on Twitter, including some “alternative facts” about the rally:

In the same city several days earlier, an anti-Trump rally supporting immigrants’ rights drew an estimated 1,500 people.
