(CNN) Not once, not twice but three times over the last 18 hours, President Donald Trump took to Twitter to tout just how well received he was by Senate Republicans on Tuesday.

First came this tweet at 6:20 p.m. ET Tuesday night: "So nice being with Republican Senators today. Multiple standing ovations! Most are great people who want big Tax Cuts and success for U.S."

Then, this one at 7:30 a.m. ET Wednesday: "The meeting with Republican Senators yesterday, outside of Flake and Corker, was a love fest with standing ovations and great ideas for USA!"

And, finally , this one at 8:33 a.m. ET: "Jeff Flake, with an 18% approval rating in Arizona, said 'a lot of my colleagues have spoken out.' Really, they just gave me a standing O!"

Just before heading to Texas for a fundraiser, Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon that he received "standing ovations" from Republican senators.

Notice any similarities? I'll give you a hint:

Yes, in each of those three tweets Trump touts the "standing ovation" he received from Republican senators.

It's typical Trump: he gauges success in large part by how much he is loved; standing ovations -- along with TV ratings, crowd size and "buzz" -- are a direct measure of how he believes everyone feels about him.

No one would be surprised then that Trump has often touted the many standing ovations he has received. Using the invaluable Trump Twitter Archive , I dug up a whole bunch of times Trump has been applauded wildly -- to the point of standing -- as recounted by none other than Donald Trump.

While Trump does most of his standing ovation boasting on Twitter, he's doesn't always limit his bragging to 140 characters.

"That speech was a home run. See what Fox said. They said it was one of the great speeches. They showed the people applauding and screaming. ... I got a standing ovation. In fact, they said it was the biggest standing ovation since Peyton Manning had won the Super Bowl, and they said it was equal. I got a standing ovation. It lasted for a long period of time."

The biggest since Peyton Manning! That's some ovation!
