    Maybe Trump is delusional or believes his lies...

    FACT CHECK:

    El Paso Fire Department just told us that Trump's statement about them allowing 10,000 people inside is incorrect.

    Spokesman says coliseum holds 6,500 and that is how many were allowed in building    .

    FACT CHECK: El Paso Fire Department confirms @realDonaldTrump lied about his crowd size -- only 6,500 attended his embarrassing rally.

    Meanwhile, estimates say up to 15,000 turned out for Beto.

    How many people did Trump say attended?

    When his rally got underway, the president said that “69,000 signed up to be here. The arena holds about 8,000."

    Trump thanked the fire department for getting 10,000 people in the El Paso County Coliseum, before noting the crowd that gathered outside for his rally.

    “Tens of thousands of people are watching the screens outside,” Trump said.

    How many people did officials say attended?
    However, a fire department spokesman said 6,500 people were inside the venue and denied any special accommodations were made.

    Uh we all saw Beto's entire speech video and it's panout, there wasn't 700 people there much less 15,000 you could even here Trumps music playing in the background. You suckers are funny.

    Though there were about 4,000 outside and Beto had about 200 show up to his rally. The alleged 15,000 was the next day's march.

    it's truly sad that some people need to count up the exaggerations of those their delusions cause them to detest. even sadder is that they feel they must advertise their foolishness by posting it all on public forums.

    Who gives a $&#((@ if he said 10k or 6500? It was a big crowd. Why do exact numbers matter? Wish Democrats cared about numbers so much while pushing a Green Deal that will cost more money than man has ever created in its existence=)

    The only actual important note is that one person wants to protect the country and the other wants open borders and doesn't' give a crap about who gets in and who they rape or kill....as long as its no one he knows....or a white guy, because no one cares when illegals kill white people.

    How do you fit 15,000 people on a softball field?

    Politicians have been lying about their rally numbers for generations and why would anyone expect trump to have a firm grasp on reality this far into his presidency? — the only turnout that matters is on Election Day.

    6,500 got in the auditorium to watch the Trump rally while 30,000 were outside.

    Wasn't this pretty much an outdoor concert, O'Rourke had to bring in bands to draw a crowd.

    The El Paso arena has 6500 seats, but can hold 11,000 with standing room; Trump had 10,000 inside plus had 25,000 packed outside the arena watching on big screens.

    El Paso fire Department said Trump lied about getting special permission to have additional people at the venue.

    1. 15000 at a softball field, highly unlikely, Everyone’s pretty certain Trump had more people at his rally 2. They were fighting over border funding and this latest bill gives over a billion dollars for border funding.... with that all being said why spin this?
