Trump then mocked the crowd size at Beto ORourkes rally held at the same time saying it was no more than 300 people. However, the Texas Tribune reports the ORourke rally drew at least 7,000 people.
First Read: Trump sure did elevate ORourke by 1) going to El Paso in the first place and 2) deliberately trying to understate his crowd.

he is either (1) rolled out of, or (2) escorted in handcuffs out of the White House.
