The Bronx — An NYPD officer shocked her partner Thursday night with information she'd received about former President Donald Trump's political rally in the Bronx.

The two K-9 officers watched their dogs sniff the grass just south of the Crotona Park stomping ground for Trump and the crowds who gathered to both to support his campaign and to protest his presence.

The officer informed her partner of a report she received from the NYPD's aviation team, whose helicopters could be seen hovering over Trump's presidential rally.

The news: Aviation estimated about 3,500 people were at the MAGA rally.

Replied her partner, with surprise "That's it?"

The crowds who gathered in the park were not limited to Trump supporters but included large groups of protesters who expressed outrage at the former resident protesting in their borough.

How many people frequent Trump rallies is a point of contention often thrown into doubt.

The actual number of supporters who filed into a recent rally in New Jersey was initially reported to be up to 100,000 people, but a later investigation put the number in the thousands instead of the tens or hundreds of thousands.
