Trump's speech TV ratings are down from Obama's first state of the union...






President Donald Trump’s first address to a joint session of Congress reportedly pulled in more than 43 million viewers across eight major networks airing the hour-long speech, down from the numbers pulled by his predecessor’s first similar speech. President Obama’s 2009 address to a joint session brought in an average of 52.4 million viewers—as such, Trump’s remarks were down 17 percent from that year. Additionally, Obama’s first official State of the Union, in 2010, pulled in 48 million viewers. As media watchers might expect, Trump-friendly Fox News dominated individual network ratings, grabbing 10.1 million viewers during the speech.

What this poll really shows is trump pulling biggly numbers... bigglier than any numbers in the history of numbers! To suggest otherwise is a conspiracy by the Dems, Jews and lying mainstream media... and black and brown people... and elites... and that one guy who says the stuff.
