Trump makes weird Truth Social boast about Turning Point event enthusiasm 'ratings'
Former President Donald Trump might have taken to Truth Social on Father's Day evening to share the value his five children add to his life. Instead, he boasted about his ratings.
Trump second social media post Sunday — the first being a widely ridiculed all-caps rant against "radical left degenerates" — saw the presumptive Republican nominee bragging about the success the Turning Point USA People's Convention on Saturday.
"It was rated as the most enthusiastic audience they’ve ever had," Trump declared. "IT WAS SOLD OUT, BUT COULD HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT FOUR TIMES OVER. It was a great honor to be there!"

Trump did not explain who exactly rates enthusiasm, by what metrics, to what other events this one was compared, or exactly how many people had been there.
The former president is notoriously touchy about ratings and has been caught exaggerating Trump event attendance numbers in the past.
Trump recently boasted that 25,000 people attended his rally in the Bronx last month — but the NYPD press office and officers at the site both told Raw Story the estimate was more like 3,500.

Attendees were seen walking out in the middle of Trump's speech at a New Jersey rally that same month.
Back in 2017, Trump boasted a Pennsylvania event saw "record-breaking" numbers — even though there rows and rows of empty seats.
