https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-repeatedly-asked-aides-if-he-made-news-for-bigger-turnout-than-elton-john-nytTrumps fondness for the Tiny Dancer singer reportedly did not sour after he rejected the inauguration invitation. Instead, every time the president has held a rally at a stadium that John holds the record for attendance in, Trump reportedly becomes laser-focused on beating those crowd numbers, according to sources cited by the Times. Last month, Trump bested Johns ticket sales at the same venue in New Hampshire, and took to Twitter to share his victory. Great news! Tonight, we broke the all-time attendance record previously held by Elton John at #SNHUArena in Manchester, New Hampshire! Trump tweeted. The president is then said to have repeatedly asked his aides if the new record was being picked up in the news. It was not.

Trump had center stage, Elton had end stage setup, which cuts down on the seating behind stage.

I'm sure Elton John doesn't have a single fuck to give about it. It's just pathetic that Needy Amin even thinks about something that dumb and inconsequential.

Yes, Trump had more because of the way the arena is set up. Elton John was at full capacity.
