Trump told the crowd at his rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday that he got special permission from the El Paso Fire Department to let 10,000 people inside the El Paso County Coliseum.
El Paso Fire Department spokesman Enrique D. Aguilar told The El Paso Times that not only did the fire department not give Trump special permission, but the Coliseum had about 6,500 people in it during the president’s rally. Aguilar says that number was at capacity and well within its standard allowance.
The spokesman added that “it might be 10,000 with the people outside” total, but the fire department didn’t track the number of people outside the venue. While the number Trump quoted about his attendees might not have been far off, he blatantly lied that he got special permission, according to Aguilar.
“Now the arena holds 8,000,” said Trump, during the rally. “And thank you, fire department. They got in about 10,000. Thank you, fire department. Appreciate it.”............................

"Blatantly lied" and "Trump" will soon be a single entry in the Oxford English Dictionary.

You should understand capacity of these rallies by now after 2 years.
The seating capacity of venues are usually public knowledge and can be easily found at most venue websites.
The past 2 years when I announced most of his rallies in here, I've tried to include the venue capacity up front.
This place accepts 6500 (capacity seating) inside.
Turned there were more added to the count who were SRO. There were at least 2 or 3 thousand more outside (as usually happens) and those folks who were turned back can stay and watch on the jumbo trons if they like.

We all saw on the LIVE link I provided yesterday, the size of the crowd at BetaBoy's 17 minute speech in that field. There were maybe a couple hundred.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
Trump lied about both crowds, as usual. You are wrong. here is the crowd.[/QUOTE] https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...300-people-hi/ Trump of course lied again about the ElPaso crime rate again. But that is how Trump breathes. He exhales lies.
