Forty-three minutes into a speech that would run past an hour and a half, the President of the United States begged an arena full of his own supporters to avoid using the bathroom for the benefit of television cameras that were there to document his remarks.
"The fake news will go around and see that man up there. He's leaving for the bathroom. He'll be back in two minutes," Trump said. "They'll take a picture of his seat while he's gone, and they'll say Trump did not fill up the arena. The arena was not filled. Look at the seat. So please, if you don't mind, don't anybody go to the bathroom."
