Did someone on his staff tell him he broke records or is that something he comes up with all on his own?

I wonder how much this victory party cost the taxpayer.

In all fairness, some of them turned out to be dirty cucks who would not stop resisting:

Supposedly the rally was paid for by his re-election committee. http://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/04/is_someone_trying_to_scam_the.html


Trump is spending at least $18,812.50 to use the New Holland Arena at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center at 2300 N. Cameron St., according to a contract between Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and the state Department of Agriculture.

New Holland Arena can hold up to 11,000 people, depending on how it's configured, according to the state department, which manages the Farm Show Complex.

In addition to the arena, Trump is expected to use extra services, which will be put on the final bill, according to department spokeswoman Bonnie McCann. It wasn't immediately clear Thursday night what those extra services might be.

Trump's campaign will also have to pay police for extra security. Capitol Police will work inside the venue, and city police will secure the perimeter and handle traffic outside.

It wasn't immediately clear Thursday evening how much the campaign will pay for those services. The costs won't be tallied until after the event.

The Trump campaign did not respond to multiple requests for information.

Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse said the city will invoice for the required police presence outside the Farm Show complex because it is a campaign event.

It boggles my mind why anybody would believe the fake news media.



#PhotoGate — Patriots Deflate Fake News from the NY Times

Tonight on Twitter the Patriots deflated a fake news story blown up by the NY Times. The NY Times, which is owned by Mexican immigration activist Carlos Slim (https://medium.com/@Cernovich/pesos-for-play-how-a-mexican-robber-barron-turned-the-new-york-times-into-his-personal-blog-2403c4590dd0), lied on Twitter about the Patriot’s attendance today at the White House.


The Patriots responsed to the Times, caling them liars.


This is the misleading picture the Times posted.

This was the real attendance.

This story must have something to do with freedom and liberty, just got to figure out how, and how we can say trump is taking freedom and liberty by having this rally.

Brainstorming time!

In the meantime, let's re-analyze another topic important to the haters here: Trump's handshakes of statist apocalypse and literal tyranny.

Fake news. Carlos Slim does not own the New York Times. He does own about 15% of the company but has no seats on their board so he has no influence on them and his shares have no voting rights. It is true he is the largest INDIVIDUAL share holder. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/20/business/media/20times.html?_r=0&utm_source=huffingtonpost.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=pubexchange_article


Mr. Slim will receive no representation on the company’s board or any shares with special voting rights like those of the Sulzberger family, which controls the company. Nonetheless, when Mr. Slim exercises the warrants, he will be among the largest single shareholders in the Times Company, owning up to 17 percent of the common shares outstanding.

The Sulzberger family members own about 19 percent of company and control it with a special class of voting shares.

Trump meets with 'great guy' Carlos Slim whom he once disparaged

Donald Trump revealed newfound admiration for Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Tuesday, praising one of the most powerful men in America's southern neighbor after previously characterizing him as part of a global anti-Trump conspiracy.

The President-elect and Slim recently had dinner that was described by Slim's son in law, Arturo Elias Ayub, on Twitter as "very cordial."

Trump reciprocated on social media Tuesday by venerating him as "A GREAT GUY."

"Yes, it is true - Carlos Slim, the great businessman from Mexico, called me about getting together for a meeting. We met, HE IS A GREAT GUY!" Trump tweeted.

Only two months ago, during the throes of the general election campaign, Trump had a different sentiment for Slim, saying that he was part of the "monopoly power of new media conglomerates" given his stake in The New York Times, which has repeatedly sparred with Trump.

"The New York Times strings are being pulled by Mexico's Carlos Slim, a billionaire who benefits from NAFTA and supports Hillary Clinton's open border policies," Trump said in an October statement.

Zippy is always there to muddy the waters:


no representation on the company’s board or any shares with special voting rights

what about shares with REGULAR voting rights? does this count for anything?

The article was not about Carlos Slim, at all, he was just mentioned. It was about how the lying NYTimes posted a deceptive photo about crowd size at a Trump event a week or so ago. That wouldn't be the first time, it's probably the 20th time or more. Then zippy focusses in on Carlos Slim. How is that for muddying the waters?

More info:

New York Times Co.'s Class A stock is the publicly traded issue, entitling shareholders to vote for four board directors. The company's super-voting Class B stock is held primarily by the Ochs-Sulzberger family, which is entitled to vote for the remaining nine directors.


The company has come under fire by shareholders, including Morgan Stanley portfolio manager Hassan Elmasry, for its share structure, which puts the majority of power in the hands of the holders of the Class B shares.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ny-times-shareholders-withhold-vote-chairman-defends-structure

Which means Carlos Slim has 16% of the vote which count towards four of the thirteen board members which means he really has control of four percent of the votes for the board of directors.

The post implied that the New York Times was unreliable BECAUSE of Carlos Slim's share holdings. Your post raised the issue.
