Why did Donald Trump falsely claim his speech gathered the same amount or even more of an audience than Martin Luther King?

Donald Trump claimed that the crowd at his January 6th, 2021 speech was as large as, or larger than, the audience for Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.!

It is a fact Martin Luther King speech gained a larger audience.

A typical important speech from Trump gets 35-40 million views. were as only 46 million American housholds owned a TV in 1963 and not ever single one of them was interested in listing to MLK preach. It's not hard to fathom how Trump speeches beat MLK speeches with the growth of the American population, proliferation of electronics, and international reach through the internet. People have far more information at their disposal today, than they did in 1963.

Being that the MLK speech is older and a historic speech it has been viewed by later generations on YouTube as a rebroadcast, but as for the initial speech, Trump likely regularly beats MLK's most important speech in viewership all day everyday. It's a different world today.

Donald Trump was comparing his January 6th speech to Martin Luther Kings I had a dream speech.
Martin Luther King in fact did have a much larger audience watching him but Donald Trump claim his January 6th speech gained an even amount or maybe even larger audience
