Hundreds of empty chairs were reportedly removed before Donald Trump's speech at a convention of religious broadcasters in Nashville, Tennessee.

Trump, the Republican presidential frontrunner, spoke at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) International Christian Media Convention on Thursday. According to Vivian Jones, a reporter for The Tennessean, the former president didn't show up until two hours and 40 minutes after the NRB presidential forum began.


"More than two hours into the presidential forum, Donald Trump is not yet on stage," she wrote. "The room is far from full. About 20 mins ago, staff cleared out about 300 chairs from the far back corner. Photo on the left was taken just after 7pm, photo on the right was taken just now," she wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The images she shared on the social media platform show the same room at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville with a significantly different number of chairs towards the back of the room. While the first picture shows rows of empty seats, the second photo shows that a majority of the seats are occupied.

"After nearly an hour of singing by the Signature Sound quartet, the crowd here is 'milling about smartly' awaiting Trump's arrival. No one is on stage. There is Christian music on the loudspeaker," Jones wrote in another post. She later wrote that Trump arrived on stage "two hours and 40 minutes after the NRB presidential forum began."......................
