This was from yesterday, but Trump was not sure if he made the point about the standing ovation clearly enough so this tweet showed up earlier today.So nice being with Republican Senators today. Multiple standing ovations! Most are great people who want big Tax Cuts and success for U.S.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 24, 2017
A "lovefest" did you hear that Senators Corker and Flake? They lovefest me!The meeting with Republican Senators yesterday, outside of Flake and Corker, was a love fest with standing ovations and great ideas for USA!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 25, 2017
But still that did not seem enough to Donnie, so about an hour later this one popped up.
Well somebody is feeling a little needy.Jeff Flake, with an 18% approval rating in Arizona, said "a lot of my colleagues have spoken out." Really, they just gave me a standing O!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 25, 2017
I should probably point out right about here that Hitler also received numerous standing ovations as well. Just thought I would mention that.
CNN's Chris Cillizza noticed a pattern:
It's typical Trump: he gauges success in large part by how much he is loved; standing ovations -- along with TV ratings, crowd size and "buzz" -- are a direct measure of how he believes everyone feels about him.
Cillizza then goes on to provide a list of times in the past where Trump bragged about standing O's.
