The Latest: Trump Gripes About OH Fire Marshal

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Aug 1, 2016, 3:19 PM ET

The Latest on the U.S. presidential campaign. (all times EDT):

3:14 p.m.

Donald Trump is complaining that a fire marshal in Ohio is capping attendance at his town hall on Monday.

Trump, the Republican nominee, told reporters before his event in Columbus that it's "a disgrace" that more people were not allowed to attend.

He added that the move is "for purely political reasons they were turned away."

He said officials capped attendance at 1,000 people and that several thousand more people were unjustly denied entry.

Of course if an overpacked venue burns down killing people it will be the FM's fault big time for allowing more people than allowed by law into a public place.

& his power tripping narcissistic brain needs an excuse for it. The post DNC attack of a Gold Star family, his newest lies exposed, more repukes jumping ship & his now dropping poll numbers are resulting in what appears to be an inevitable meltdown. He hates losing & must make it appear that he isn't.
