T-rump lies about his viewership for SOTU

T-rump is starting year 2 of his Presidency with another big boom, as he continues to outpace himself from last year telling more lies.

On Thursday, he tweeted:

"Thank you for all of the nice compliments and reviews on the State of the Union speech. 45.6 million people watched, the highest number in history.”

According to Nielsen media ratings, the 45.6 million viewers is correct. But it's hardly 'the highest number in history'. Barack Obama got 48 Million, Bush 43 got 51.7 million, and Clinton got 46.8 million, putting T-rump in a distant fourth, according to Nielsen.

Does he think no one is paying attention, or has no access to factual information?

Trump supporters don't care. They believe everything that their orange master tells them whether it's true or not. When Trump gets called out on his lies he and his minions scream "fake news." Thankfully most Americans see this so I think Trump's days are numbered.

And this is what's most baffling about Trump. He's told these types of lies so often about things that are so easily verifiable, that it's impossible to give him the benefit of the doubt on anything he says without verifying it through other sources.

Yet T-rump supporters encourage him to lie more, and (pretend?) to believe every word he says. I don't get it.
