Exaggerator In Chief: Anderson Cooper Mocks Trump’s Obsession With Crowd Size
Anderson Cooper has mocked Donald Trump for his obsession with crowd sizes after the president lied about the number of supporters at his El Paso, Texas, rally on Monday.
As the CNN host pointed out, the president has a well-documented history of overestimating crowd sizes, previously boasting that his 2017 inauguration was the best attended in history.

Trump, amid Monday's rally in El Paso: “Now the arena holds 8,000 and thank you, fire department. They got in about 10,000. Thank you, fire department.”
This, as well as Trump's claims about the # of people at Beto O'Rourke's protest, is completely false:https://t.co/PS2D79Y6sh— Jenna Amatulli (@ohheyjenna) February 12, 2019
For Cooper, Trump’s latest exaggeration was a little too familiar.
