Donald Trump to unveil his tax plan next week
Earlier in the evening, Trump blasted the head of Turing Pharmaceuticals, Martin Shkreli, who catapulted into the spotlight this week after a New York Times report revealed he raised the price of a pill from $13.50 to $750. If those people moved back into their chairs, the room was full.
“The point is that everybody from the back rushed to the front”. Trump further added, “And they said, “Oh, look!”
Donald Trump speaks at the event. Everybody was wrapped around the podium. “And when they did that, you had half of the seats in the back were empty, because everyone was standing in the front”.
Associated Press photographer Mic Smith captured the crowd during Trump’s speech. “The back 25 per cent [is empty]”‘.
Trump said he was at the convention center to address a group of black business owners.
“I did that as a favor for a person”, Trump said.
Photographer Mic Smith covered the event in Charleston, South Carolina, on Wednesday. The New York Times eventually published a story that occupied the top slot on its politics Web page for most of the day.
Meanwhile, Trump lashed out at Richard Lowry, the editor of the conservative magazine National Review, after Lowry used unsavory remarks about the Republican presidential candidate, as reported by Yahoo News.
“(It) will be very long on policy and will be a great plan, with a major reduction in taxes for the middle class”, Trump said at a town hall meeting in Columbia, South Carolina, at the University of South Carolina.
Crowd counts have become a campaign weapon for Trump as he works overtime to hammer home the message that he’s the biggest draw in the Republican presidential field.
Dishonest @NYTimes reporter Jonathan Martin refused to acknowledge massive crowd surge forward during my speech in South Carolina. Another rally conducted this month in Dallas attracted around 20,000 people to the American Airlines Center.
“Simply stated, your Attack Ad is not only completely disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications which you fully know to be untrue, thereby exposing you and your so-called “club” to liability for damages and other tortious harm”, general counsel of the Trump Organization, Alan Garten wrote.
