Is he lying? Of course. If the people who wanted in all got tickets, there'd be no line to point at.

(Realistically, he'd say there was even if he didn't fill it halfway, but artificially creating a line feeds the narrative)

Someone could write a dissertation on why Trumpers wait in line. It might be like tailgating. As I said, I strongly suspect it's like a Grateful Dead - loosilu Jun 11, 15:34 8

        and where you are helping to create a line that he can point to as evidence of how many people want in. - Reagen Jun 11, 15:42 3
        
        I didn't do anything to create the line. They would always have done that. -- (edited) - loosilu Jun 11, 15:46 2
        
        As I said, of course he'll lie about it. That's precisely why what you're doing is pointless and counter productive. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 15:50 1
        
        I respect your view. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 15:51
