Trump brags his State of the Union was the most watched ever. But, no.

He cited Nielsen and plugged Fox News in the tweet with the false claim.

It’s inauguration crowd size all over again.

In a Thursday morning tweet, President Trump boasted about his first State of the Union address, falsely claiming it was the most viewed SOTU address in U.S. history.

“The highest number in history,” Trump said of the Tuesday night primetime event, citing Nielsen viewership statistics that estimate 45.6 million people watched across 12 networks that aired live coverage from about 9 to 10:30 p.m. ET.

The famously ratings-obsessed former reality TV star has a habit of exaggerating his performance, and this time he plugged Fox News in the process.

In fact, Trump’s first State of the Union address was the sixth-most-watched in history. More people tuned in to watch Obama’s State of the Union address in 2010, George W. Bush’s in 2002 and 2003, and Clinton’s in 1994 and 1998. Bush’s 2003 address was the most watched with 62 million viewers. Two million fewer people watched Trump on Tuesday compared to his first joint address to Congress in 2017.

Last January, Trump blamed the media for misrepresenting the crowd size at his inauguration, but photos from Getty and Reuters show it was a fair bit smaller than the crowd at Barack Obama’s swearing-in.
