During El Paso hospital visit, Trump compared his and O'Rourke's crowd sizes at political rallies
Source: Washington Post
A video that surfaced of President Trumps visit Wednesday to an El Paso hospital in the wake of a mass shooting shows him talking to medical staff about the crowd sizes that he and former congressman Beto ORourke drew at political rallies earlier in the year.
As Trump exchanges pleasantries with doctors and others at the University Medical Center of El Paso, the video shows him pausing to reminisce about dueling rallies that he and the Texas Democrat staged in El Paso in February focused on immigration and border security.
That was some crowd, Trump says of his event. We had twice the number outside. And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot, and they said his crowd was wonderful.

Trump expressed frustration to aides on Air Force One that news cameras were not with him in the hospital on Wednesday and that coverage of the trip was being dominated by his foes.

(3,836 posts)constantly seek to compare the size of his penis (i.e. the size of his crowd, his ratings etc) with any man who speaks truth to power or disagrees with him, or refuses to take his loyalty oath?.. If he was actually able to compare his penis size with anyone elses, he would most certainly be found to be horrifyingly lacking.
Gahh..the idea of such a "contest" is as much of an obscenity as is the Tainted Tyrant himself.
