Trump twice told his Pensacola rally this month that he had 32,000 people at his election-eve rally in Michigan. The capacity of that Michigan arena was 4,200.
Trump then told his Pensacola rally this month that Hillary Clinton had a mere "600 people" at her rally in Grand Rapids. She had a capacity crowd of 4,600.
Trump also told his Pensacola rally that he had "49,000 people" at his campaign rally in Mobile, Alabama. Local estimates ranged from 20,000 to 30,000.
What I'm always most impressed with is how specific Trump gets with his lies about numbers. "78% reduction." "49,000 people." All just completely made up.
Trump lied that the US is paying 80% of NATO's budget (it pays 22%), then said, five seconds later, that the US is paying 4% of NATO's budget versus Germany's 1% (Germany pays 15%).

This Pensacola speech is injuring my brain
This is correct - the lower numbers are military spending as percentage of GDP.
