Trump Lifts Photo From “Fake News” CNN Reporter Jim Acosta To Brag About Crowd Size Outside Rally Venue

October 10, 2018 Donald Trump, Idiocracy

Mediaite reports:

President Trump, as is his wont, is bragging today about the size of a crowd gathering for one of his rallies. In particular on this occasion, he’s citing that crowd size to justify why he won’t be canceling his political rally while a major disaster is taking place down on the Gulf Coast. The size of the crowd is news. It’s not fake news, but it is CNN’s news. Or at least the photo Trump used to brag about it is. Because Jim Acosta took the photo and tweeted it first.
