Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

I think this underestimates the capabilities of male self-delusion. Liam is a Thinky Boy. Most people aren't.
Discussion elsewhere on the internet dot com about male willingness to sleep with attractive strangers and, just, like, speaking as a man - even if I were single, the level of persuading I'd need that a random attractive woman claiming to want to sleep with me wasn't up to something nefarious?...
