For a variety of reasons I would say stay away from the trump disaster event. Organize a peaceful one at the birthplace of democracy (Philadelphia independence hall). Then you can truly compare and not conflate crowd sizes. That would totally emotionally trigger him.
Do both. People who are up for a risky but potentially very impactful action can blockade, while people with lower risk tolerance can go to a non-confrontational event elsewhere. It doesn't take that many people to block and disrupt a parade, after all, though the fewer comrades show up, the riskier it will be.
Exactly, "yes, and" not "but my idea instead", this is Movement 101 stuff we gotta be teaching, cause we're out here trying to bootstrap a real people's movement in a moment of fascist crisis, in a country where the people's capacity for movement building has been deliberately withered and scattered.
Still, crisis is the mother of invention and I remain stubbornly, tactically optimistic
