President Donald Trump on Monday fumed over the New York Times reporting on the size of the crowd at a recent rally in Ohio, contending that venue had been filled to capacity.”The Fake News New York Times ‘reported’ on my Great, PACKED Rally in Ohio that, ‘the place was not full. Some upper sections were almost completely empty.’ In actuality, thousands of people were unable to get in,” he posted on Truth Social. “The Arena was totally MAXED OUT, including all upper sections. What does happen at all of my SOLD OUT Rallies, is that the people in the upper sections tend to migrate down to the Main Floor — The ‘migration’ process always happens!”
“There are no empty seats, there haven’t been for years, and there never will be. The Rallies are ‘HOTTER’ than ever,” he insisted.
Trump had feuded with the media over reports on attendance at his events for years. The most notable example came during the 2016 inauguration, in which he disputed reporting that compared attendance on the National Mall for his inauguration with that of President Barack Obama in 2008.
