People lined up more than 24 hours before the rally began. The line started on Wednesday morning, the day before the rally, Fox News reported. The parking lot was already at capacity by 9 a.m. on Thursday, KRDO reported. Trump began speaking at 4:45 p.m. local time and was finished by 7 p.m., KRDO shared.
Trump predicted that Bernie Sanders will win the Democratic nomination and they’ll face off in the general election in November. “Crazy Bernie,” Trump said, referring to his nickname for Sanders.
Trump also poked fun at the Academy Awards. “The winner is a movie from South Korea. What the hell is that about?” he asked.
And of course, Trump had choice words for the media too, even speaking out against Fox. “Fox doesn’t treat us the way they used to,” he said during his speech.
During the rally, he also spoke of World War II veterans and took a moment to honor them. He said that the 75th anniversary of the Iwo Jima battle is this week.
Thousands Gathered Outside in the Overflow Space to Watch the Rally on a Large Screen.
Just like the rally in Phoenix, thousands gathered in overflow space outside because they couldn’t all fit in the venue. Here’s a photo.
