Trump compares his crowd sizes to MLK and slams Kamala's crowds

Daily Mail

Trump shuts down suggestion he's 'worried' about Kamala's crowd sizes... and claims he attracts as many people as MLK  Donald Trump shot back an agitated response when asked if he is concerned about the crowds showing up for Vice President Kamala Harris.  The former president said the 'honeymoon period' will soon end as he lamented that the media refuses to acknowledge the impressiveness of his audience sizes.  'Oh, give me a break,' Trump exhaled during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort on Thursday before thanking the reporter for giving him a chance to tout how many supporters go to his rallies.  He insisted that there are up to 30 times more people at his campaign stops than at those for the vice president and if he garnered her crowds people would say his campaign is 'over.'  The press conference comes as the Trump team continues to hit Harris for her refusal to speak with the media since entering the presidential race last month.
