With TV cameras showing gaps on the concrete floor of the Phoenix Convention Center, Trump watched on a backstage monitor with growing displeasure, the Bloomberg agency reported.
In fact, as speakers including vice-president Mike Pence and housing secretary Ben Carson fired up the audience, most of those gaps were plugged, even though supporters had to run the gauntlet of protesters outside the venue.
“Wow, what a crowd,” Trump began. “What a crowd.” There were 10,000 people in attendance, according to city officials, although some did filter out before the end.
George Gigicos, a former White House director of advance who had organised the event as a contractor to the Republican National Committee (RNC), bore the brunt of Trump’s wrath, according to Bloomberg. He was told he would never manage a Trump rally again by the president’s longtime bodyguard Keith Schiller, who in May hand-delivered a letter from the president firing FBI director James Comey.
