The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, claimed during an event in Dallas that he managed to completely fill an arena and that he "beat the NFL," referring to the American football league. Trump stated that thousands of people had been left outside the venue due to lack of space.
However, journalists present at the scene contradicted the former president's version. The published images showed numerous rows with empty seats inside the arena, contradicting the claim of full capacity.
The episode is part of a series of moments where Trump has made claims about crowd sizes at his events, often contradicted by visual evidence or independent data.
The discrepancy between Trump's statements and what was actually observed at the venue has reignited the debate about the accuracy of the former president's claims regarding the size of his popular support.
