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 nights 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, its still a ways off from President Barack Obamas first joint sessions meeting or even his first State of the Union. Compared to Obamas first address in 2009, Trumps pull is down by 17 percent.

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

So why tune in?

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!
