trump rescued from stalled elevator
CNN ^ | 7-31-2016 | Jeremy Diamond

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.

There’s plenty of Hellary cultists prepared to do mischief against Trump.

Yeah, so many people turn out for Hillary rallies that I bet she has to do that, too... (sarc/off)

Is that last sentence true? It appears to be planted in light of the elevator stall. Put nothing beyond the Clinton News Network.

Ya know, I don't think that's the full story of what went down. Or what didn't go down.

Believe media reports at face value at your own risk.

He does that at every rally. CNN is a little slow.

Possible he made a statement about people not being allowed in due to capacity restrictions.

I saw the rally on RightSide broadcasting. I don’t remember Trump slamming the fire department.

I recall years ago when Saddam Hussein allowed CNN to have a branch in Baghdad as long as they didn’t disrespect him by telling the truth. Of course they did as they were told and acted as useful little lapdogs.

Failed assassination attempt? Was the elevator rigged to plummet and it stalled instead?

Yes — Trump’s statement had to due with capacity restrictions. CNN mixed things up as usual and he wasn’t complaining about being rescued. There are good reasons for capacity limitations and Trump should be grateful he gets such a crowd where that becomes a problem.

You can take every word that CNN says as pure gospel. They are the most trusted name in media.
