Donald Trump demanded the dismissal of the journalist of the newspaper The Washington Post Dave Veigel for a tweet with a photograph of a half-empty hall allegedly at the time of the president's speech. He wrote about this in his Twitter. Veigel previously posted on his account in the microblogging message with a photo of the empty seats in the hall in Pensacola, Florida, accompanied by an image of the signature "crammed to the top". The president reacted to this tweet and demanded a refutation from the newspaper. Also, the head of the White House published several shots confirming the sold-out.

Later, Weigel removed that tweet and apologized, clarifying that he was misled. However, Trump remained dissatisfied with this and demanded to take tough measures against the journalist. Some readers of the president's account indicated to Trump that Weigel had posted a photo in his personal blog, and the head of state should not pay attention to such trifles.
