The stories about him pressuring his staff to lie and make up figures of how many attended his inauguration are legion. He is infatuated with rallies. You know who else drew big crowds? Sarah Palin when she was McCain's running mate. All she ever did was yell "communism" she drew flies like shit at a picnic.
If Donald killed a spider in his bathroom at Mar a Lago, he would tell the world he just slayed a giant dragon, then convince himself it actually happened.
He could easily convince his followers he killed a dragon. And that’s not sarcasm.
