He's really feeling and communicating his arrogance.

I pray every day that sanity returns and the country tires of Trump's nasty schtick. 

Can you imagine having to listen to this juvenile ranting for four years?

I will place my bet now.  I am betting that Trump continues to hand Hillary the White House and he will NOT be our next president.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I missed this.  What did Orange bleep say THIS time?

The Colorado Springs Fire Marshall wouldn't let Trump go over capacity in a venue and he said the CSFD didn't know what it was doing! Insane.

I say we should promise to be good and try 4 years without a president.

That's what Trump referred to.  He is either senile or stupid.  I vote the latter.

I read that they let more people in, shortly after the clip.  Does that mean the Fire Marshall was right, or that Trump was right?

If the report I read is true, then one of two things is also true.  1) The official capacity was not reached and the FM was arbitrarily throwing his weight around.  2) The FM is able to override (and presumably set and enforce) the official capacity at his whim.

If the fire marshal was purposefully disrupting the rally, he does need to be called out upon it and stated that maximum occupancy had not been reached.  I would think there would be maximum occupancy numbers posted somewhere to verify.  Trump himself should have paperwork stating the occupancy of the venue when he contracted it. 

If maximum occupancy had been reached, Trump should have kept his mouth shut and planned better next time.  As it was done, he came across as petty and slurring the FD or outright lying to inflate the numbers attending either which aren't good optics/sound bytes.

If the report I read is true, then one of two things is also true.  1) The official capacity was not reached and the FM was arbitrarily throwing his weight around.  2) The FM is able to override (and presumably set and enforce) the official capacity at his whim.

According to this article, the campaign sold 10,000 tickets on-line to an event that had a max room capacity of 1,500 and an overflow room that had a max capacity of 1,000.

Quote
Fire marshal said: "I did get a phone call requesting an increase in the load, so we allowed a 10 percent increase," he said. "That's not a huge amount, but it allowed 150 more in the one building and 100 more in the other."

Quote
UCCS Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak said the 1,500-person capacity of Gallogly Events Center was included in the contract signed by Trump's campaign. An overflow room was set up in nearby Berger Hall for 1,000 people to watch the speech on television.

Quote
Trump went to the overflow room and addressed the crowd. "If you get the worst report that you have diarrhea, if you have one week to live, I don't care. Get out and vote," he said, after his speech. "If everyone gets out and votes, we can't lose."

The man is a blathering idiot.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Yikes! just watched what he said in the video. What a disrespectful POS. To imagine having this clown representing our Party for four years scares the hell out of me.

He said he was taking the gloves off, apparently though, he forgot to calibrate the targeting system.

To the potential orange dictator......

The CO fire marshal Trump called incompetent today was named Civilian of the Year in Feb. for his actions during a mass shooting last year.

We knew where this was going early last summer when there was a thread at TOS comparing Trump to Jesus in the temple with the moneychangers.

It is still happening- but worse.  Do a quick google search for "Trump Isaiah 45". There are tons of charismatic Christians including my very own sister who beleive Trump is like Cyrus and has been anointed by God to save America.  Cyrus was a pagan who worshiped many Gods who God used to free His people from Asyrians enslavement, and the restoration of Israel.  They think God again is annointing an ungodly man, but this time to make America Great Again. That is how crazy this has gotten, to have this preached from the pulpit.
