'God Is Using Trump to Save America': Bo Loudon Claims Rally Drew Larger Crowds Than Elvis Concert

Bo Loudon, a friend of Barron Trump, claimed on X after President Donald Trump's campaign rally at Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday, 7 October, that its audience exceeded the crowd at Elvis Presley's 1956 concert there.

Trump had addressed the gathering in support of Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton and House candidate Carlos De La Cruz. Loudon, 20, attended the event and subsequently posted a video from inside the arena, where cheers could be heard as people held up phones to record it.

Bo Loudon Compares Trump Rally With Elvis

In a post published the following day, Loudon listed performers who had appeared at Freeman Coliseum, including Elvis, The Rolling Stones, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, James Brown and Ray Charles.

'None had a crowd as large as President Trump's last night.'

He followed that comparison with an expression of religious and political support for the president. 'God is using Trump to save America.'

Loudon returned to the attendance claim in a separate post, focusing on Presley's first concert at the venue. He wrote, 'In 1956, Elvis had a crowd of 6,619 at his first concert.'

He claimed Trump's rally 'had over 11,700, the max capacity of the Freeman Coliseum!'

Those figures are attributed to Loudon. The supplied material contains no venue records or independently verified attendance totals establishing the size of either audience. The supplied account describes cheering in his video, but it does not establish a crowd count from the footage.

Protesters Interrupt Rally Attended by Bo Loudon

The event also featured interruptions by multiple protesters, according to the supplied account. It describes them calling on the crowd to vote for Paxton, the Senate candidate Trump was supporting.

Some protesters were escorted from the arena by police. A few others became involved in altercations with MAGA attendees, who eventually pushed them out, the account states.

Trump continued his speech despite the interruptions. When one protester reached the vicinity of the podium, the president addressed him with the remark, 'He's going back home to mom.'

After the man's removal, Trump joked that the individual was probably unaware his mother had voted for Trump. He also mocked the demonstrators as ugly.

Trump stated, 'Many of these protesters are paid. You know that, right?'

Trump further alleged that the protesters were 'paid by enemies of our nation.' The supplied material provides no evidence substantiating his payment allegations, which remain claims by the president.

Addressing some hecklers directly, he told them to 'get the h*ll out of here.'

Bo Loudon's Family and Campaign Connections

Loudon has campaigned for Trump through podcasts and social media, directing his messages towards young people. The supplied account describes him as one of Barron Trump's closest friends.

His posts about the San Antonio rally combined claims about attendance with support for Trump. The comparison with Elvis was one part of a wider claim that none of the performers he named had attracted an audience as large as the president's.

Loudon is the son of former Missouri State Senator John William Loudon and conservative media personality Gina Loudon. Both parents hold memberships at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club in Florida, according to the supplied account.
