https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/07/12/pro-trump-pollsters-keep-bringing-the-president-bad-news/Trump has a habit of self-assessing his own approval among Republicans without actually citing any data.
He has tweeted about his GOP approval nearly 50 times over the course of two years, only twice mentioning actual polls. He initially said his GOP approval was 90% in 2018, before claiming 93% in the first half of 2019, 94% from July to October 2019, 95% until April 2020 and 96% since then, without deviation. President Trump Approval Rating in the Republican Party at 96%. Thank You! he tweeted on Friday.

His net worth never goes down, ever. Every time they ask, it's the same or more than the last time.
Same with his approval numbers.
He's such a terrible liar.
