We should call out on each and every lie from this guy, but … he never said “live audience” and it’s quite plausible that he just meant the TV viewers and other folks watching live (and reacting in realtime on social media and the like). So maybe the rare case where he actually meant to say something almost reasonable.

Even from the article itself,

It is unclear if Trump was referring to the TV ratings when he spoke about the “crazy” audience.
