Trump Lashes Out at AP Photographer Who Snapped Pics of Empty Chairs

Donald Trump is not happy with the Associated Press photographer, Mic Smith, who took a picture showing a significant number of empty chairs at a South Carolina event Thursday — so unhappy he called him a “f***ing thief,” according to the Daily Mail.

“Tell them they're a fraud, whoever took it. I just got killed on that thing, and it was just really unfair. It's goddamn unfair,” he told The Daily Mail.

The chairs were only empty, he explained, because the crowd had surged forward to surround him.
“I was speaking from the podium. Everybody was wrapped around the podium. If they hadn't done that, there wouldn't have been an empty seat,” he told the Daily Mail. “'I've never made a speech where there were so many people wrapped around the podium in the front. That's what happened.

MSNBC described the venue as "a half-full room of white people."
