Donald Trump returned to campaign mode on Tuesday night at a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, making delusional assertions and attacking protesters with juvenile rhetoric.
Trump claimed the rally “broke all records” on Twitter.
The crowd in Ohio was amazing last night – broke all records. We all had a great time in a great State. Will be back soon!

Perhaps it broke all records for asinine statements.
When a protester was escorted from the venue, Trump mocked him: “Boy, he's a young one. He's going back home to mommy. Oh is he in trouble. He's in trouble.”

Trump also made a delusional, laughable assertion about his own presidency and that of Abraham Lincoln: “It is much easier to act presidential than what we are doing here tonight, believe me. With the exception of the late, great Abraham Lincoln, I can be more presidential than any president that's ever held this office.”

And he placed himself on Mount Rushmore: “Now here's what I do. I'd ask whether or not you someday think I will be on Mount Rushmore. But here's the problem, if I did it joking, totally joking, having fun, the fake news media will say ‘he believes he should be on Mount Rushmore.' So I won't say it. Okay? I won't say it.”
