(10,721 posts)19. I found video
The video started before Trump spoke, but after Trump started they were very careful with the cameras to never pan them past about the mid-point of the arena so you couldn't see the empty seats in the back. I gotta believe they would be sure to pan the whole arena if it was full. Also, you could see some empty seats in the areas they did show (to be fair, not many empty seats, but they definitely weren't all filled). Finally, they went to reporters outside the arena while they were still waiting for Trump to show up and there were no more than a handful of people outside.

I wonder if this will calm down the people who were freaking out about the size of the Butler crowd a few days ago?

He passed his Best Used By date and is heading into "what's that fuzzy stuff in the fridge?" territory.

Perhaps people are finally understanding just how immoral Trump is after his LIES in relation to the hurricanes.
