"Lackluster" Arizona Crowd, Malignant Narcissist President

After the crowd at the rally in Phoenix, Arizona, was less robust than expected, President Donald Trump took out his frustration on a former White House aide who organized the event as a contract worker for the Republican National Committee, Bloomberg News reported Monday night.

Once the rally had ended, Trump had an aide inform George Gigicos that he would never do work for the White House again, three unnamed sources told Bloomberg News.

[...]

As Bloomberg News noted, the rally venue was not entirely full when Trump took stage, an issue for a President obsessed with crowd size and who feeds off the energy of his most loyal supporters. And as Trump droned on through his speech, rallygoers began to filter out and appeared to be uninterested, according to the Washington Post.

  TPM
So now we know that he does indeed see reality. He just lies about it.



Following the event, Trump claimed that 15,000 people attended the rally, even though a local official estimated that just 10,000 came to the event. He mentioned the rally size again during a press conference Monday, claiming that a “massive crowd” turned out to watch him speak in Arizona.
I wonder if this is the same phenomenon occuring in his Twitter account. Many of his tweets these days have less than 1,000 "likes" - some far less - when typical numbers have previous been several thousands.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
