"The highest number in history": Donald Trump celebrates the audience in his speech on the state of the nation in a tweet on twitter. He is obviously wrong.
When it comes to records, US President Donald Trump is not very well with the numbers. So he had his spokesman Sean Spicer explain at his inauguration in January 2017, "This was the largest number of spectators who have ever witnessed an inauguration."
Aerial photographs showed, however, that far fewer people had flocked to Washington than to his predecessor Barack Obama. Trump called the number of 250,000 people a "lie" of the media back then. Rather, "one million, one and a half million people" came.
Now Trump brags again with an alleged record rate. Of course, via Twitter, he thanked "everyone for the compliments and comments" to his "State of the Union" speech. A total of 45.6 million people would have watched his speech on the state of the nation on television, "the highest number in history."
But the US Nielsen company, which specializes in measuring audience ratings, comes to a different conclusion. As many as three Trump predecessors allegedly achieved higher viewer numbers with their first speeches on the state of the nation : the Democrat Bill Clinton in 1994 got 45.8 million viewers, in 2002, Trump's Republican Party colleague George W. Bush had 51.8 million, 48 Millions of people joined Obama in 2010.
