Overall, the event with the president from Philadelphia moderated by ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos Tuesday evening drew 3.967 million total viewers. "America's Got Talent" topped all programming that night with 5.7 million people tuning in.

Given Drumpf's obsession with TV ratings, that's got to suck

1. I like to believe most people were like me and saw no reason to listen to him lie for 90 minutes.

But it's probably because they wanted to watch America's Got Talent

[MANative]

2. And despite the fact that the participants were classified as "Undecided"...

I think the cake is already baked. It's just cooling on the counter for a while.

[soothsayer]

3. As opposed to America's no-talent loser

Yup

[jimfields33]

8. Trump was a disaster. He should be thankful nobody watched.

Of course he’ll complain as always. Some sort of ABC against him or something of that complaint.

[Lasher]

10. Yeah, he got beat up.

"Let me finish, please."

4. I hope Biden's Townhall tonight on CNN will surpass Trump as well.

16. +1

5. He's lucky so few people saw what an idiot he is.

Eventually this fail upward thing has to end. GOTV.

6. Low Ratings Donnie!

7. To be completely honest I didn't know what it was until social media talked about it

Wouldn't have watched it anyway.

11. I'd seen a headline here about it but I'd forgotten about it. Watched NBA playoffs

I’m really into the NBA so I wouldn’t have watched Clustertrump anyway.
Frankly the more of these he does the better for us. Aside from his rallies he is a disaster on camera. He thinks he can charm everyone but from the virus pressers to Woodward to this ABC thing that is clearly not the case. I think Good Morning America is still the top rated morning show so you’d think they’d have promoted this a lot and still few people tuned in.

9. Bad News for Biden

Trump’s incoherent ranting and rambling on TV makes him an effective surrogate for the Biden campaign. More viewers!😂

[JohnnyRingo]

12. In the town hall, we already knew who the loser was.

At least there was some scripted drama on AGT.

[Initech]

13. Coming up next: Puppet Show and @realDonaldTrump!

[crickets]

15. Good one!

May trump get the same tepid response Nov. 3rd.

14. Biden Town Hall - CNN tonight 8pm eastern.

[Oscarthegreat]

17. Why watch at all?

Anybody who watches the Orange Turd for even one second is wasting a precious second they will never get back. I feel incredibly nauseated watching his face or hearing his voice. I wouldn't watch his face at all, that's why I will not watch the debates, just like I made sure not to watch him on television or print since 2016.

He starts lying even before he opens his big dumb mouth, and everything he says is completely demented, distorted, meaningless and contradictory, expressed on grammatical and maturity levels a seven year old would find embarassing.

Not one person I know is going to watch the debates, an as aside, i have no idea why Biden would agree to a Fox sponsored "debate", where it is guaranteed trump would get the questions in advance, actually he has probably already gotten them from Faux.

[Jimbo S]

18. I switched to Tour de France

I watched the first 45 minutes of Trump, then switched over to bicycle racing. Much more entertaining.

[JohnQFunk]

19. But he gets the biglyest ratings!

[jcgoldie]

20. Hilarious that fox news viewers...

...would rather watch Hannity and Carlson fellate Trump than actually have to endure Trump answering questions...

[JI7]

21. He is just Boring
