Trump Gets Crowd Size Wrong at CPAC 2017
Trump Apparently Skipped a Math Lesson Because He Got His Crowd Size Wrong Again
Remember that time President Donald Trump totally exaggerated how big his inauguration crowd size was? Well, it looks like the POTUS is back at it again with another inflated estimate.
At this year's Conservative Political Action Conference, Trump took the stage on Feb. 24 and claimed that people were lined up for "six blocks" to get in and hear his speech. But it seems this was just another "alternative fact," as conference attendees quickly shared the truth about the crowds on social media.
I took this from our SiriusXM booth right after hearing POTUS say "there are lines for six blocks." Decide for yourself. #CPAC2017 pic.twitter.com/4J2S8vVDaF

Trump at CPAC says place is packed, "lines went back 6 blocks." Didn't see lines personally, but lots of space here in the back of ballroom pic.twitter.com/Kb7E1B5MIT

Cops at the event even agree that Trump's exaggeration was false.
@g_bluestone a cop posted outside tells me that's absolutely untrue and says the crowds seemed larger yesterday

It's quite possible that our POTUS needs to brush up on his estimation skills.
