In between, the former “Celebrity Apprentice” star bragged about the television ratings for his inauguration.
“Wow, television ratings just out,” Trump tweeted. “31 million people watched the Inauguration, 11 million more than the very good ratings from 4 years ago!”
But according to Nielsen, Trump’s inauguration audience was significantly lower than the 37.7 million viewers who tuned in to watch President Obama’s 2009 inauguration.
Overall, Trump’s inauguration was the fifth highest in total viewers, ranking behind Presidents Ronald Reagan (41.8 million), Obama (37.7 million), Jimmy Carter (34.1 million), and Richard Nixon (33 million).
During the 2016 campaign, Trump was obsessed with numbers: polls, TV ratings, and the crowd sizes at his rallies."

"I have no ongoing feud with the CIA ..." Bullshit.
"We're using alternative facts ...
Q: Does the Pussy Grabber or his staff ever tell the truth?
