[Anonymous]

It didn’t.

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.

QUESTION: "Why did Donald Trump falsely claim?"

ANSWER: Because he's Donald Trump and has Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He has no problem lying as long as the result makes him look better in his own mind.

He's a pathological liar and an egotistical narccisist Bad combo

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.

well as a trump fan and supporter - i can admit trump isn't ALWAYS right- when he talks. but he still achieved great things. still online views and some rallies were more. so you can pin down some speeches. but others had more so it is still not a real lie.

I do not know what speech. He has made a lot. He had a rally in New Jersey on the shore and it attracted 100,000 peoole.

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

[exitseven]

A million people were in DC rmthat day to protest a stolen election These patriots used their own money to come to DC and were not on a Democrat funded NGO. He probably figured at least half were listening to him.

[Asker]

Donald Trump had around 53,000 people watching and listening to his speech on January 6th.
Martin Luther King had around 250,000 watch and listen to his “I had a dream” speech.

Donald Trump’s claim is false. He didn’t attract an even amount or a larger audience than Martin Luther King jr

Exit's immune to facts about Trump. He thinks Crypto is a scam, but Trump has nothing to do with $TRUMP.

[Asker]

@goaded You are probably correct

[Agape93]

He can't help but lie to save his little bitch ego, and most of his supporters just can't help but guzzle down his bs like a crackhead with a dick

[msc545]

Because nearly everything that comes out of Donald Trump's mouth is a lie.
