President Donald 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 presidents 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 didnt 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.............................

This is horrible when a sitting President demeans a Fire Chief. Perhaps Trump thinks the Fire Chief has zero morals like he does??? damn, what an idiot.

And being Nazis the fire department will back up the head Nazi and agree with all of his outrageous lies - like Nazis tend to do to offer blind support for one another against the pinko commie socialists truth tellers.
Lie, cheat, fabricate and manufactured reality - is the standard Nazi modus operandi.

(38,458 posts)...Because some people who work at fire departments around the country, support Mr. Trump. This sort of thing will make the rounds of fire and police departments around the country. Lying about the size of crowds and lying that a particular fire department allowed in by "special permission" more than what is allowed is very stupid indeed.
...Far more stupid than is usual. Numbers at events are controlled for many reasons. Saying the fire department allowed in more than allowed, is saying the fire department gave special permission for Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump is lying about what the fire department said....
..And when he does that...he could loose support of fire departments..everywhere not just El Paso Texas. Not just the fire departments, but also the police departments who often support fire departments..
........and it proves again....Trump really is...STUPID
........far more stupid than most of us realize...lying about what the fire department says..is stupider than usual.

(70,651 posts)The campaign was told because of construction and blocks to the exits
the fire dept. said only 1,000 could be admitted to one of his speeches
but Trump went on to say that the democratic mayor limited his crowd size
and besides over 5,000 people were outside who wanted to get in.
1) The mayor released a statement that it works with the C.F.D. they
always have the last word as per safety.
2) I had driven by the venue when Trump was here and he would have been
lucky to have 100 people outside of the venue.

(6,913 posts)Or they will say the media lied about what the fire department said.
They believe the X Anon stuff (or whatever it is); they will believe anything. Their judgment is, to say the least, impaired.
