Yeah, sure! 20,000 exaggerated as much as Drumpf Truck's net worth.
The AZ fire marshals locked the doors when the count reached 4,299. But facts will never stop The Donz from lying like a CON$ervoFascist. When confronted with the fact of the correct number he simply accused the fire marshals of lying to cover their asses like The Donz always does. The braggart had to claim he drew more than Bernie Sanders.
Trump says Phoenix violated fire code at event
A spokeswoman for the Phoenix Fire Department and a person who was on-site Saturday and familiar with security arrangements said Trump was wrong.
"There's no way that would be allowed," said Phoenix Fire Department spokeswoman Shelly Jamison.
"Once capacity was reached, we closed the doors. No rules or codes were broken and no one was in danger at anytime."
Jamison said the Trump campaign had been offered a larger room at the convention center but declined.
The person familiar with the security arrangements, who asked not to be identified, said the convention center, which has its own fire marshal, was very strict on safety.
"It wouldn't have been allowed," the person said of Trump's larger crowd numbers. "The convention center let the client know that 4,200 is where we're going to max out."
A Trump representative at Saturday's event told reporters that there were 4,200 to 4,500 people inside the packed hall. The security official said a clicker at the door showed 4,299 was the final number of people allowed inside.
