President Donald Trump opened a speech at a campaign-style rally at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport in Macon on Sunday with one of his favorite topics: crowd sizes.
"There have never been crowds like this, just so you understand, in the history of politics," the U.S. leader said, addressing a cheering crowd. "You've never had crowds like this for midterm elections. There's never been crowds like this."
The president made the comments during a campaign speech in support of embattled Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is locked in a tight gubernatorial race against Democrat Stacey Abrams.
Opening his speech, Trump said this week's midterm election was "one of the most important elections of our lifetime.
"There is an electricity in the air like I haven't seen since the '16 big victory that we all had together," Trump said, referring to the 2016 election that put him in office.
"Look at this," the president said, gesturing toward the back of the crowd, where media members stood. "Like the Academy Awards, look at how many cameras."
The U.S. leader then asked camera operators to pan across the crowd to show how many people had shown up for the rally.

(51,432 posts)Whoever it was did use camera editing and Hollywood directors' tricks to edit camera footage of the rallies to make them appear larger and have more people than were actually there. The moron in chief needs to hire someone like that since the news footage of his rallies shows pretty skimpy turnouts lately.
