PRETTY SPACIOUS...

Video: Dr. Oz Says Great American State Fair Crowd Is Huge, But Camera Pan Shows Otherwise

TMZ DC

As far as Rep. Hunt is concerned, that's just Trump being Trump ... because he's "the showman of all showmen."

But you'll have to peep the clip and see for yourself ... he dances around the idea that Trump's exaggerating the numbers when Jacob presses him.

Rep. Hunt even goes so far as to say some people he works with on the Hill hate America ... and you'll have to watch to see if he stays tight-lipped when Jacob asks him for names.

As you know, Trump claims the National Mall is packed with people ... but Jacob, who was there, says that's just not the case.

But if you ask the Congressman, it's the spirit behind the event that counts, not the bodies in the crowd ... although those would be nice.
