Trump Calls His Rallies ‘Legendary’ Despite Empty Reality

Eric Lee / REUTERS President Donald Trump boasted about the “legendary” size of his rallies, even as reality tells a different story.

Trump, 80, shared a self-soothing brag about his upcoming rallies on Truth Social Sunday evening, after melting down last week over reports that his latest events have left plenty of empty seats.

“My Rallies, legendary they have already become, have made a tremendous difference with the enthusiasm of the Republican Party,” the president wrote .

“They have been waiting for them to happen, even though I never thought I’d have to be doing Rallies again.” Trump continued: “The good news is, I love them, the music, and the incredible enthusiasm, and will always be in favor of what’s good for America — and that means the Republican Party.” “Next stop, tomorrow, Youngstown, Ohio, for our Great Senator Jon Husted, and my friend, Vivek Ramaswamy for Governor, where the Crowds are already waiting in line — and then Alaska, for the Re-Election of one of the Greatest Senators in America, Dan S.

Sullivan, and Congressman Nick Begich, who has a Big Future in Alaska,” he added.

“See you there!” Reached for comment, a White House spokesperson referred the Daily Beast to the president’s post.

The president, who once claimed that “a small rally is 20,000 people,” has been obsessively sensitive to reporting on crowd size at his rallies.

Trump went berserk last Monday after The New York Times had reported two days earlier that his rally in cherry-red Mobile, Alabama, had completely empty seating sections.

“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,’” Trump wrote, even though the Times report was based on his Alabama event, not his one in Ohio.

The president insisted that the arena was “totally MAXED OUT” and that he “never” has empty seats.

“There are no empty seats, there haven’t been for years, and there never will be.

The Rallies are ‘HOTTER’ than ever,” he ranted.

“They are all ‘happenings,’ and they never happened before, and will never be duplicated again.” Analysis from the Daily Beast and PunchUp found that Trump’s latest Mobile rally was very different from when he campaigned there over a decade ago.
