Trump's TV ratings fall short of Obama's.

Political Wire:

Hollywood Reporter: “President Donald Trump made his first big televised appearance from the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday night, addressing a joint session of Congress and blanketing the Big Four and the cable news networks for more than an hour.”

“The event predictably topped the night’s few other telecasts, grossing just more than 43 million viewers on eight networks airing coverage between 9 and 10:15 p.m. ET. On par with early metered market stats, a cumulative 27.8 overnight rating among households, it’s still a ways off from President Barack Obama’s first joint sessions meeting — or even his first State of the Union. Compared to Obama’s first address in 2009, Trump’s pull is down by 17 percent.”

He'll be whining again if he knew Obama beat him again.

it will get repeated as fact. Look at how the corporate MSM sucked up to him for barely stumbling through reading a teleprompter last night "oh how presidential, sniffle sniffle"

Ugh!
