During an interview with ABC News on Wednesday, President Donald Trump continued lobbing attacks at the migrant caravan walking toward the U.S.-Mexico border and justified his deployment of thousands of troops to the border by saying he thinks the group is bigger that what’s been reported.

“You have caravans coming up that look a lot larger than it’s reported actually. I’m pretty good at estimating crowd size. And I’ll tell you they look a lot bigger than people would think,” he told ABC.

Trump has a penchant for bragging about the size of the crowd at his rallies and found himself entrenched in scandal on day one of his presidency, when he falsely claimed his inauguration crowd was bigger than President Barack Obama’s.

  1. God what an egotistical jackass. Almost as good at estimating dick size?

  2. Next, he bragged about how good he was at winning the popular vote

  3. What he is actually good at is telling whoppers.

  4. We lack prominent members of the political and media class that are willing to just look the camera in the eye, or put words to the page, and plainly decree Trump is mentally ill and unbalanced. If this guy worked in almost any office in the land the mounting complaints to HR would drive him out of his job.

  5. Well yeah, when you discount all those fake ones!
