A fire department official in Manchester, New Hampshire, has confirmed President Donald Trump's claim to have smashed attendance records at his rally at the SNHU Arena last Thursday, contradicting fake news about "Empty seats."
Trump proclaimed last Friday that his rally, which filled the 11,700-seat arena and left thousands more supporters outside, had broken Elton John's attendance record for the venue.
Trump critics circulated screenshots of empty seats behind the president and sent the hashtag "#EmptySeatsMAGATour" trending on Twitter.

The Daily Mail confirmed with Manchester Deputy Fire Marshal Mitchell Cady that attendance in the arena was about 11,500, with 8,000 people standing outside.
In addition to vendors setting up shop more than 17 miles away from the rally, there were many Trump supporters who camped out overnight to ensure they could enter the arena.
The idea that Trump had failed to fill the arena was never true, but was circulated by Trump's opponents and by the mainstream media in a classic example of fake news.
