“I think this goes back to a degree of wanting the respect for the size and scope of the movement that he’s had and he’s never felt as though the media has given him his due. I don’t think the media has ever given him the respect he deserves for developing that. In fact, if you think about it, during the primary campaign of 2015, it was, ‘he doesn’t have a ground game, he doesn’t understand politics, you’ve got these other well successful politicians’ — and again and again and again he busted through political hurdles.” – Sean Spicer, whose own lie about the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd continues to be fodder for comedians.
People keep remarking about Trump’s obsession with crowd size. You guys, recall this was THEE first lie then-President Trump instructed his WH Press Secretary Sean Spicer to tell to the American people.
