(65,554 posts)26. He fired the guy who has long arranged his rallies because he was so upset about the
small turnout. Would he have been so upset and would he have fired the guy over turnout if there had really been 15,000 people there?

But according to Bloomberg, Trump was actually very upset by the beautiful turnout so much so that hes fired George Gigicos. Or rather, he had top security aide Keith Schiller tell Gigicos that hell never manage a Trump rally again, because Trump doesnt actually like to fire people.
Gigicos organized Trumps rallies during the campaign, and he served as White House director of scheduling and advance until last month, when he quit to return to his consulting business. He organized the Phoenix event as a contractor to the Republican National Committee.
