This is so bizarre.

I just wanted to make sure so I did a search because I didn’t read the Yahoo article, just saw the headline.

Sure ‘nuff. And not only did he say it, he said other arrogant BS.

Business Insider - Trump tells crowd in Nashville to ‘get up’ and give him a standing ovation

President Donald Trump likes a good applause line.

At a rally on Monday, in Nashville, Tennessee, he touted the changes to the US tax code in the new Republican tax law, at one point requesting attendees give him a standing ovation.

Among those changes is a doubling of the threshold to qualify for the estate tax to over $10 million. Americans’ estates larger than $5.6 million had previously been subject to the tax.

Trump said people would now be “spared” from the estate tax, which he called the “death tax,” drawing applause from the crowd at the American Farm Bureau Federation’s convention. Trump then implored the audience to “come on, get up,” and give him a standing ovation.

Later in the speech, Trump said it was a “privilege” for people to get to vote for him.
