(6,377 posts)In a city with a population of 1.6 million, in a state that went red?
That is absolutely stunning.

Oh wait he's always sees more than what's really there so that doesn't work
He's just such a slime bucket

(81,567 posts)He probably couldn't tell whether there was eye damage or not because he couldn't see his own inaugural crowd correctly, either. Sometimes he can't see the difference between Melania and Ivanka. So it's a condition of which he's evidently suffered for a long time now.

(111,431 posts)He won't read the signs and he can't hear the yelling so you're all seen as his fans who couldn't get in. Every time.

Shortly after inauguration, he earned his M.S. (more of the same)
And he has finally earned his PhD (piled higher and deeper)
That's the way tRump University works.

(32,130 posts)Please read your own link. The capacity of the event yesterday was 19,000. At some point in the rally people were turned away. Again from your own link...
