Trump speaks to empty seats at Tennessee rally

rawstory.com —

President Donald Trump spoke to large sections of empty seats at a Saturday rally in Clarksville, Tennessee, according to video and photos from the event. The rally, held weeks before the midterms, was disrupted by a heckler. Trump complained about press coverage of his crowd sizes, while reports note his recent events draw smaller audiences than in 2015, with one analysis citing crowds up to 75% smaller. Trump has disputed reports of thin attendance, claiming arenas were full. The New York Times previously reported empty seats at his Mobile, Alabama rally, where he drew 8,000 to a 10,000-seat venue, compared to 30,000 in 2015.
