Video shows Trump joking about crowd sizes while visiting shooting victims
Source: CBS News
President Trump joked about his rally crowd sizes while visiting victims of the mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, according to a video obtained by CBS affiliate KDBC. Speaking to medical professionals at a hospital were victims were being treated, Mr. Trump compared the crowd size at an El Paso rally in February to that of presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke.
Mr. Trump praised the medical officials treating the victims, telling them "they're talking about you all over the world." He then pivoted to boasting about the attendance at his February rally and mocking the relatively small size of the counter-rally held by O'Rourke.
"I was here three months ago," Mr. Trump said. "That place was packed ... That was some crowd. And we had twice the number outside. And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot, they said his crowd was wonderful."
Members of the press were not permitted to visit the hospital with Mr. Trump due to concerns from the administration about making the visit seem like a "photo op."

And how tacky and tone deaf his rhetoric about crowd sizes, but as always he has to make even the most somber event all about himself.
When is this nightmare ever going to end?
