Donald Trump and members of his Secret Service detail were briefly trapped in an elevator Friday before a campaign rally in Colorado Springs.
They were rescued by firefighters with the Colorado Springs Fire Department, which lowered a ladder into the elevator, allowing Trump and his entourage to climb out. Two Trump campaign sources confirmed the incident to CNN. The story was first reported by the Denver Post. Trump eventually took the stage at the rally, where he opened his remarks by blasting the local fire marshal for shutting off entry to his campaign event due to capacity restrictions.

in Texas, he opened his remarks by saying that the fire marshall said more people couldn’t come in.
this is simply SOP.
Slow news day at Clinton News Network.

“You can add all the rest of the media, too. Their vendetta against Trump is so over-the-top as to be all but unbelievable. “
You ain’t seen nothing yet.
Who would you really want to be stuck with? Critical question - who does the establishment really want to bump off? Hillary’s contingent is safer.
Elevator mishaps eh?
I’m reminded of the scene from ‘Damien Omen II’ where the doctor is beheaded by the elevator cable as he’s just about to reveal disturbing information regarding the young little beast.
Don’t put it past the demonic ‘RATs, pray for Trump every day!
I’ve seen it happen. He often calls on the fire marshal to let people in. But it seems to me more like a running joke and to acknowledge the people left outside more than actually trying to put people in danger.
I'd be willing to bet that he is grateful for the "problem" and complains about it just to contrast his crowd sizes to hillary's.
Good thing there were no snipers around at the time.
Sorry, momentary lapse. :)
A few days back Trump was “needling” the fire marshals to allow more people into the venue because it was hot outside.
What grade are you in?
Spell check is your friend.
No females didn’t destroy America. You have been brain washed by Stan Coulter
If it were comrade Hillary I'd be enjoying my retirement, with 3 hots and a cot, paid for by all of you. (It would be worth it.)
According to local news, someone turned a key that wasn’t supposed to be turned, and the elevator stopped.
After a few minutes they figured out what was wrong, turned the key to the correct position and the elevator continued on.
No report of climbing a ladder, I think that was just made up.
The Mining Exchange Hotel has named the elevator ‘The Trumpster’.
If the local news report is true, there was no ladder, no need for firefighters and no rescue.
Would love for the local story to be confirmed—then clearly, once again CNN has lied.
I’ve quit believing ANYTHING I hear, and only about HALF of
what I see. Now, with the entrance of the “first
woman candidate for President”, even most things I read, I don’t believe any more. (Think “Photoshop”, tampered recordings,creative artwork, lies, propaganda . . )
How do you like MY tagline !!!
