BAD PRESIDENT
‘Executive Time’: Trump Angry Once Again Over Crowd Size Claim

President Donald Trump apparently had a few extra minutes left in his “executive time” hours before his 11 AM “daily” intelligence briefing so he decided to vent his anger over estimates of his crowd size.
Crowd size well-known as a favorite topic for Trump, who also bragged Tuesday night at a Tennessee rally to support two pro-Trump Republicans that he has big hands.
Trump brags about the size of his hands.

Wednesday morning. Trump attacked The New York Times, which he says reported he had just “1000 people” at his Nashville rally. Trump claims he had “many times that number.”
The Failing and Corrupt @nytimes estimated the crowd last night at “1000 people,” when in fact it was many times that number – and the arena was rockin’. This is the way they demean and disparage. They are very dishonest people who don’t “get” me, and never did!

It’s actually unclear where Trump read “1000 people.” An online search of The Times’ website and a Google search of the Times’ website both turned up no results.
