.MaddowBlog: Why Pres. Trump’s ridiculous claims about his public support matter.
At an event with Japanese officials at the White House yesterday. Donald Trump took a few moments to reflect on his public standing – which the president believes is amazing.

Bush’s support in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 was a rare exception – and in Trump’s case, it plainly does not exist in reality.
