Perhaps the New York Times will be next to get the proverbial boot from the White House press corps. President Trump Monday posted a rebuttal to the paper’s report that a recent rally was not full, but that “some upper sections were almost completely empty.”
Fake News, Trump shot back, explaining that any empty seats in arenas are because people seated in the upper regions “tend to migrate down to the main floor.”
The Times report referenced a recent rally in Ohio. Here is Trump’s post:
“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. 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! The Times knows this, and so does everyone else. I never have empty seats — Never have, and never will! Because of their dishonesty, I have cinematographers shooting the various Arenas where I speak, in that some of the Fake News likes to dishonestly report lies and untruths.
“In actuality, my Events for very good Republican Politicians are probably more crowded than ever. There are no empty seats, there haven’t been for years, and there never will be. The Rallies are ‘HOTTER’ than ever. They are all ‘happenings,’ and they never happened before, and will never be duplicated again. The Networks refuse, however, under any circumstances, to show the Crowds, but you can hear the thunderous applause, and know that it represents thousands and thousands of people. Watch tonight, for example, in the Great State of Nebraska, where I’ll be heading soon. See you later! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
