Found this tidbit thanks to a tweet from Daniel Dale, who's been live-tweeting the rally:

Trump lies that he has the highest numbers among Republicans of any president. Bush was better after 9/11. He then says nobody has been able to tell him if they did polling about Lincoln: "I'm assuming they did, so we can say we're beating Honest Abe."
Polling didn't exist then.

I turned on Fox just so I could watch part of it. This is clearly therapy for him. He's talking about how he decided to run and about how well he did in the primaries. and all the endorsements he received.
Now he's talking about Tiger Woods.
