[Maraya1969]

This guy is great.

[blueinredohio]

1. Those were the people who had to wait for their money before they could leave

after that they all said "I'm outta here"

[Maraya1969]

2. Yea, someone posted the Craigslist add looking for participants, especial minorities

[BadgerMom]

10. Yep

[Beartracks]

25. Just another kind of projection from team trump.

After all, he's slammed our rallies and marches, he and his bots all claim we're paid protesters. And WE'RE not. But it's because that is all HE knows. He paid people to show up at his campaign launch, "Escalator Day." They were paid to be there, take up space, and cheer. I'd guess most, if not all, of his rallies are like that. Just put your thumb on the scale, any way you can. To rig the game. Remember how often he said that? Everybody took it to mean that he was accusing somebody else of doing that. HE was just admitting, covertly, to his own doing. And since he does that routinely, and that's obviously one of the tools in his bag of tricks, he figures everybody else plays that same way.

Hillary didn't have to pay people to show up, for the sake of a useful photo op. Neither did President Obama.

3. Fire Marshall count was 4169.

[Maraya1969]

4. That's what he said right?

I wonder how many were on the payroll

[Wellstone ruled]

5. Wasn't the cattle call for fifty?

[askyagerz]

6. When I shook Obama's hand

I was surrounded by over 50,000 people...
just sayin...

[BigmanPigman]

7. My Defend DACA rally in San Diego yesterday had more people than that.

[apkhgp]

8. Just some more crowd size inflating

First Maraya I want to give you a big handshake for posting this. All of that time while he was saying that the crowd had to be "packed in". That is a nice packing job. Just a lying jerk.

[Beartracks]

15. Packed in, as in "packed into the camera frame." n/t

[DK504]

29. It would be a fantastic idea if the media showed how full of shit he is.

They need to be showing the real numbers this demented POS is drawing. He would absolutely lose his shit.

Didn't he fire the advance guy in Phoenix? LOL

[japple]

9. Can't wait to see to day this is what we're seeing from those "rallies."

[mobeau69]

11. Here's a slightly bigger crowd BO drew in Portland

[ailsagirl]

16. Wow

"sigh"

[mobeau69]

19. A little video of the same great rally.

Top this dumpass.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. And Obama didn't have to talk trash and spew hate to elicit applause from his crowd.

If Drumpf had come right after Shrub, his election would still have been a major embarrassment, an utter travesty, a great failing, but after Obama, Drumpf's shortcomings--as a leader and as a man--are grotesquely magnified.

[Gothmog]

12. Great video proving a trump lie

[Angry Dragon]

13. nobody ever said Trump was good at math

[mdbl]

17. 4000 is still too many morons

I thought there were less in this country. Guess I was wrong.

[hedda_foil]

27. Given how many of the audience walked out on his speech, they weren't all fans there.

[dem4decades]

18. It was the greatest attended rally in sections B,C and D........ PERIOD.

[Maraya1969]

22. HA!

[SunSeeker]

20. K & R for exposure.

[7wo7rees]

21. Opening Day of Spring Training in Arizona Cactus League - FOR SCALE

[RussBLib]

23. Trump. Lies. About. Everything.

The GOP has to be so proud.

Like one GOP'er recently said: "Trump's an asshole. But he's our asshole."

Hey! There is something seriously wrong with your asshole!!

[calimary]

32. And that's all you need to know about that individual.

If you get that, then you totally get him and everything he's about.

[Enoki33]

24. Another GOPer said if that jackass was leading the mule train she

was obliged to hitch on.

[tblue37]

26. He fired the guy who has long arranged his rallies because he was so upset about the

small turnout. Would he have been so upset and would he have fired the guy over turnout if there had really been 15,000 people there?

Trump Fires Longtime Event Organizer Over Sparse Crowd at Phoenix Rally

snip

But according to Bloomberg, Trump was actually very upset by the “beautiful turnout” — so much so that he’s fired George Gigicos. Or rather, he had top security aide Keith Schiller tell Gigicos that he’ll never manage a Trump rally again, because Trump doesn’t actually like to fire people.

Gigicos organized Trump’s rallies during the campaign, and he served as White House director of scheduling and advance until last month, when he quit to return to his consulting business. He organized the Phoenix event as a contractor to the Republican National Committee.

28. THANKS

I was just about to post this

Now we see why he was so pissed

[Dorn]

30. This is "fake news": news that DT does not believe or want you to believe

There were fewer people than I thought -- odd that MSNBC, etc. didn't film or report this.

[DDySiegs]

33. You Convinced Me. Well Done.
