Trump claimed on Truth Social on Monday, Oct. 5, that his Saturday rally arena in Vandalia, Ohio, was "MAXED OUT," though The Times reported empty upper-deck sections by the end. The high school student center seats 4,500. Trump said upper-deck fans "migrate down to the Main Floor."
What he said
- Trump's exact words: the Times "and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested for their dishonesty and disservice to our Country."
- Trump also said thousands of people were turned away at the door.
