New Hampshire—last night!
We (@TeamTrump) said something is happening out there in 2016 that the pundits/pols were not seeing or feeling as we travelled the U.S...
2019 - The crowds at Trump events are even bigger & louder...
It’s happening again, bigger than before! #KAG2020
Sorry Elton John, your record’s not still standing: Fire marshal says Donald Trump’s boast that he smashed pop star’s attendance record at MAGA arena is TRUE
Trump claimed he broke Elton John’s attendance record at a Manchester, New Hampshire arena on Thursday night
Eye-rolling followed, with opponents showing images of empty seats
But the Manchester Fire Marshal’s Office told DailyMail.com that it had counted 11,500 people entering the building, and a few more may have slipped in
That would break Elton John’s 2004 record of 11,300, according to what arena officials told the fire department
Deputy Fire Marshal Mitchell Cady said he and his staff estimated another 8,000-9,000 people couldn’t get in and watched video screens outside
They marked off where the outdoor crowd stood, computed the size of the area and used a standard equation to determine how many people fit there
Trump has bent the truth on his crowd-size claims in the past, including his insistence Thursday that his final 2016 campaign rally had 32,000 people
DailyMail.com saw him send a fake fire marshal out to tell an Arkansas crowd in February 2016 that he had broken ZZ Top’s attendance record from 1974
That arena was half-empty, and the ‘fire marshal’ turned out to be the state fairgrounds facility manager
