Trump told the crowds inside El Paso County Coliseum that 69,000 people had signed up to attend. âThe arena holds 8,000 and, thank you fire department, they got in about 10 [thousand],â he said. âBut if you really want to see something, go outside. Tens of thousands of people are watching screens outside.â
According to reports, a spokesman for El Paso fire department said the presidentâs claim was incorrect, and that only 6,500 people were allowed inside â the buildingâs capacity.

âTens of thousands of people are watching in my fevered imagination.â
We see Trumpâs base is in campaign mode. I hope the guy was arrested.
is there another mode?
Fat Nixon only has one gear, and itâs certainly not policy making or leadership.
How sure are we that Man-Who-Incites-Violence was giving the thumbs up to Skeans, and not his attacker?
Because, knowing Trump as we all do, the latter seems way more likely.
According to the instruction manual, other modes include: assault, attack, concentration camp guard, frog-march, jackboot thug, victim, whine, what-about, and heel. But an addendum note says heel mode is currently non-functional and that the owner should put Trumpâs Base into whine, what-about, or victim mode to calm it down instead.
So, ignorant, violent, drunk, redneck Trump fan assaults someone.
Note: Descriptive adjectives are superfluous.
I see weâve switched to âFinish the Wallâ. How pathetic. The big con is right there, in big bold letters, on stage behind Trump for all of the world to see. Yet his un-merry band of slobbering fascists still all show up for these things.
Trumpâs âbaseâ at work. The same persons who are stirred by demagogues. The rest of us are appalled. This is one victim. It could just as well been a group of victims beaten by Trump brown shirts.
Does anyone know if this attacker was arrested, or was he just allowed to go home and pop open another beer?
well at least they moved on from Lock Her up!
Oh dear, never mind.
SMH
It was:
Itâs a spin to cover the fact that Spankee ainât never gonna get his big fat wall funding.
Because it implies that something has already been built (just not when and by whom).
So theyâre coding it as a âwinâ which the MAGAts will swallow whole (I remember reading somewhere that a not insignficant percentage of the MAGAts actually already believe the wall has been builtâŚ)
Pretty clever propaganda move there, if you ask me. (And way up at the top of the âdirty tricksâ list, but, hey, so what else is new?)
ETA: and right on schedule Fux &Friends is congratulating Spankee on the compromise deal which, IIRC, is pretty much back down to the original level (ca $1bn) that was on offer months ago⌠Bestest deal maker ev-uh⌠
Lack of follow-up news coverage on this means the answers are ânoâ and âyesâ in that order.
Plus: itâs only BBC, so just another frigginâ furriner anyway. /s
Why stop there? As long as the base has no interest in facts or reality, just say, âThe wall is completed - long live the wall!â and throw in that Mexico paid for it after all.
âthe blow so blindsiding himâ.
Another Trumptard showing Trump he is as brave as The Republican Congress is as long as everyone has their backs turned.
You could poll 1000 Trump loyalists today and pose a multiple choice query, âDonald Trump has finished either 10, 100, or 1000 miles of southern border wall since taking office?â and over half the nitwits would pick 1000.
I agree with you, but tRumpâs intent really doesnât matter because Iâm sure the crowd saw it as a nod to violence, not, in any way, a concern for a member of the press.
Wearing a MAGA hat has started making them feel like it gives them superhero powers particularly at a rally.
Deluded souls, every last one of them.
