Trump started talking about crowd sizes while visiting an El Paso hospital

It was inevitable, wasn't it?

Even as two weekend mass shootings left 31 people dead in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, President Trump has had no reservations about politicizing the event on Twitter.

And on Wednesday, he went even further, bringing up his and O'Rourke's competing rallies in February and falsely claiming O'Rourke had "like 400 people in a parking lot" at his.
