Former President Donald Trump has called for the arrest of media outlets, including The New York Times, for their alleged dishonest coverage of his rally attendance figures. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump accused news organizations of misrepresenting crowded arenas by claiming empty seats were available. He highlighted a video showing people in lines to enter the Ohio Arena, which he claimed was "already full to the brim," contradicting The New York Times' reports of empty seats.
Trump also addressed the "migration" phenomenon where upper sections of the arena would often fill up, leading to allegations of empty seats on the main floor. He emphasized that his rallies have consistently sold out and that the attendance numbers are far higher than those of other political figures. Trump accused the media of "dishonesty and disservice to our Country" and vowed to use cinematographers to capture accurate footage of his rallies, countering the fake news narrative.
