The figures are early numbers from Nielsen and were released by Fox News and CNN. The total viewership number also is a drop of about 30% from the viewers who tuned in to the first night of the Republican convention in 2016.

Obvious fake news, how much of the ratting were self flogging democrats, and other people on the left?

 

[El Bombastico]

Oh God I cant wait for the angry tweets

 

[Doukou]

We don't need to watch Trump because we know he is doing a great job. 😎😏🤣

 

[echoshifting]

lmao I love this. He must be so mad about this

 

[PlanetSmasher]

Ratings are basically the only thing Trump cares about so this will hurt him a LOT.

 

[Beignet]

The only measure that matters to this sociopathic narcissist

 

[BobLablow]

Democrats had a bunch of dead people watching!

 

[teruterubozu]

Low energy. Sleepy Don. Sad.

 

[Deleted member 44129]

Still disturbing how close the numbers are. In a sane world, a tiny number of people would pay any attention to any of this shit.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

SAD!

[Lakershead22]

Is he going to say Nielsen installed more meters in Democrat households and uninstalled meters from republican households?

 

[platocplx]

that 30 % drop from 2016 is also very damning.

 

[WedgeX]

That's gonna grind some gears.

This week - while also full of tragedies - is providing some schadenfreude at Trump's expense.

 

[thecouncil]

oh weird. id've thought that more people would want to watch a shit show.

i cant imagine trumps speech will be lower than biden's though.

My wife watched and she hates Trump.

 

[chuey]

I was only watching for the shit show.

 

[BFIB]

By Thursday he will cancel all speeches and just have it be him.

The ratings he'll give a fuck about are his own night.

I actually thought their numbers would be better just because I know a lot of people who were gonna tune in to see how insane it was.

He's on every night

 

[Beef Supreme]

Pfft...Neilson is obviously part of a radical left wing conspiracy to inflate the ratings. Fake news.

 

[III-V]

Pretty gross 15.8 million people managed to watch that.

He's speaking every night.

 

[Bacalao]

Not the first time he's lost the popular vote by 3 million-ish people.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Down 30% from 2016 too. Pathetic.

This.

that 30 % drop from 2016 is also very damning.

That is what I am saying

 

[Shevek]

Very interesting, I'm quite surprised by these numbers actually. I would've imagined that Trump would've pulled larger numbers on account of both his base and those outside of the Republican voting bloc tuning in for the spectacular shitshow that was the RNC.

Probably a good indicator of momentum for Biden's campaign that Trump's is lacking.

He's going to say the numbers were so high you wouldn't believe. Numbers, numbers people have never seen before. But then CNN cut out of his speech early and aren't reporting the real numbers like everyone knows. Total fake news.

 

[Jag]

There is no doubt the memes from the RNC are far superior than anything that came out of the DNC.

 

[ChaosXVI]

It's very, very sad to know that this will actually wound him to his core. Something as pointless as TV ratings.

 

[KtotheRoc]

Yes, good. Be miserable, you rotten bastard.

 

[Garp TXB]

I bet part of it is convention fatigue in general. It was a good thing the dems went first.

I don't particularly like making myself upset. It's not even like "knowing your enemy" or anything. They're just gonna go off about lies and nonsense, so why even tune in? Didn't watch much of the dem convention, either, but I'm not a dem.

 

[MasterYoshi]

I can just imagine some shaky fucker having to deliver the news of this to him.

 

[Burli]

Oh nice, that's the only thing he cares about!

 

[Jeremy]

I fundamentally think that the number 1 reason that Trump will lose this year is because most people are simply exhausted with him, so this checks out.

 

[makonero]

lol ratings is one of the ways to truly make trump feel small, it's one of the few things he understands

Every night is his night. Everything that exists in his mind is his. Time, space, dimensions...

 

[Y2Kev]

And that's without streaming. No Rethuglican old people even know how to use a computer so I'm sure the streaming number was just NASTY and the WORST and so mean.

 

[Hiphopopotamus]

The cultists have already created a different reality and have grasped on to the CSPAN viewer numbers which supposedly were higher for the RNC than the DNC. I don't care one way or the other so I am certainly not going to ground-truth any of the claims

 

[fallengorn]

LOW RATINGS RNC. SAD!

 

[Dyle]

Beyond just TV ratings, I look forward to Biden's inauguration drawing a bigger crowd than Trump's even with social distancing rules in place
