Trump lies about everything. This one is easy to disprove.
This is a lie. Obama's net approval number was more than 4 points better than Trump's on this day in their presidencies, per RealClearPolitics polling averages – Obama was at negative-5.2, Trump is at negative-9.5. pic.twitter.com/BNV776v8Hy

Not true, of course, at least in terms of the approval numbers https://t.co/sxfizjCucz pic.twitter.com/Bi7FIER6JK

Re Obama, this is false. Just check out the @FiveThirtyEight poll comparison. Doubts were rising about Obama at this point but his net approval rating was -3%, versus -11.4% for Trump. https://t.co/GHo1k59ATw https://t.co/LISwWGUuUU

And here's how Trump's -11.4% net approval at this point compares with GWBush (+39.4%), Clinton (+12.8%), GHWBush (+34.8%), Reagan (-5.6%), Carter (-4.8%), Ford (+1.3%), Nixon (+24.3%), LBJ (51.9%), JFK (+43.2%), Ike (+53.8%), and Truman (-19%).
