Donald Trump lied about lines of people for "6 blocks" wanting to see him at CPAC

Donald Trump claimed during his speech at CPAC that there were lines of people extending for 6 blocks wanting to see him:

Trump says the lines at CPAC to hear him speak "go back 6 blocks" but "you won't read about it."

Turns out Trump was, as usual, lying. First of all, because CPAC is a private event not open to the public:

The president claimed lines to get into his CPAC speech stretched 6 blocks. Per @kasie there are no lines, the event is not open to public

And second, because the photos from the event show no lines of people at all:

Trump complained media failed to report line to see him was 6 blocks long. Same ppl who cast fraudulent votes and were at inaugural, I guess pic.twitter.com/5icB0ZPLpO

So here we go again with the crowd size thing. Trump must really have a self-esteem problem.
