On Sunday, while fewer than four million Americans watched Trump lie about the coronavirus crisis, nearly nine million were watching a 60 Minutes episode about devastating job losses.

(5,122 posts)Sadly, Trump attracted less than 4x as many viewers as there are cases of Covid-19 in the U.S.
The ratings are not gauges of popularity. But of viewership. Its not that 60 Minutes was more popular but was selected more for viewing. And this despite the voyeuristic thrill of watching the train wreck that is the trump.

But losing bigly in ratings to "failing 60 Minutes?"
That will get under his puffy Cheeto stained skin.

(46,778 posts)listening to him on TV. Its not like his mega rallies. Those are more of a social event. On TV, he is redundant and boring, not nearly as inflammatory as he is during his rallies.

(16,999 posts)And why listen to boring Trump when you can watch The Bachelor, Shark Tank, The Real Housewives of Bumblefuck, Little People-Big World, or Duck Dynasty? Hey, Donald can never compete with Naked and Afraid or Dancing with the Stars.

A lot of people can't read or read well in our area. Thus Fox. I am certain this is pretty normal in the rural South.

(270 posts)She fits the profile of female Fox hosts. I would imagine that 90% of her viewers are MAGA males who don't even have the sound (or their pants) on. This is what we are dealing with.

I usually dont like pictures of women caught open-mouthed like that. Its when theyre photographed while talking, and saying words like over or lots or of or how - with either a soft or a hard o vowel sound. Your mouth looks like youre ready to do a nasty.
In other words, you look like a fucking inflatable sex doll.

At 7 p.m., 60 Minutes (9.11 million viewers, 0.7 in 18-49) led the night in viewers but had its smallest audience in almost three months.
Still looking for Trump town hall ratings

Trump reminds me of "that guy" who hung out at the bar or club that we went to for just 1 after work. He never bought, would wait for one of us to set the bar up, always caught the biggest fish, shot the biggest buck, had the coldest temperature. We used to make sure there wasn't an empty bar stool next to us, no one wanted to listen to his bull shit.

Prime the pump with money to workers, not with free money to downsizing corporations.

(1,178 posts)I'm sure the Trumpers are chalking these numbers up to being "fake news", from that liberal organization Nielsen. The conspiracy nuts always think anything that isn't favorable to Trump is from an arm of the Democratic Party.

(7,968 posts)the same core of deplorables will advocate for the tRump clown and the same donors will send him $ and the same forces that got him selected in 2016 will be at work.
We must fight like the fucking world is on the line because it is and there may be stuff we are not seeing that is fighting hard against us. We can not let up. We must throw everything into stopping this evil of which the tRump clown is only a serious symptom.
His approval ratings are up again. How could that be? Well, because it is the same old insane cycle...
