Hitting Him Where It Hurts
Okay, this is a silly thing but it matters to Donald Trump.
Trump’s speech at the White House scored a rating of 14.1 across six different networks: NBC, ABC, CBS, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN.
In contrast, Democratic nominee Joe Biden’s speech at last weeks Democratic National Convention scored a rating of 17.5 across those six networks.
Trump contends all his supporters live streamed it online. Yep, all those high school graduate and old people are very technologically savvy.
I didn’t watch Trump. I think private parties behind high walls with gates are something kids do when their parents leave town.
He built a wall, okay.
If losing the popular vote by 3 million upset Covidiot 45’s little fee fees, losing the popular vote by 10 million or more and losing the Electoral College should royally screw with his fragile ego.
Being marched out of the WH 1/20/2021 should bring him the best ratings, evuh. An earlier date would be good, too.
The question I have been asking every morning – is he gone yet?
1Mr. Reality TV, losing the ratings battle. Hopefully all those RNC “viewers” who allegedly watched online, will also vote online in the election too. In one of those doofy Trump! Biden! Vote Now! boxes that pop up on their screens.
2The funniest part is that I think Trump’s Thursday night ratings were lower than Pence’s Wednesday night ratings. I bet Trump loved that!!
3The president of big beautiful walls finally got what he’s really wanted, palace walls. Understand that even with the walls, the protesters could be heard very loudly inside. No wonder he was sweating profusely.
4Ads in Florida stating that Trump plans on eliminating Social Security by getting rid of the payroll tax should cement Trump’s doom.
5I refuse to watch TV anymore, but checked the transcript of his looong speech. He must have just been reading from the teleprompter. If the word “very” does not take up 10% or more of the text, then he’s not really speaking. Same thing for all of his limited vocabulary: “beautiful”, “nasty”, “fake”, etc. [Has anyone else ever described a phone call as “beautiful”?]
So doubtless some White House underling was shouted at today, getting blamed for his failed ratings, and being told that if he/she just let Trump be Trump, it would have been a slam dunk speech. Sorry, a “beautiful” speech.
6He did build a wall JJ!
7Now if only there were a way to write MADE IN MEXICO on it.
White House Wall does not have spikes on top to rip into flesh. Obviously not designed by trump.
The “convention” used every part of the WH except the bunker, where he hides from scary Black people with signs.
8Thanks for the picture of the White House. I live not that far away and every now and then I would drive through just for old time’s sake. At one time I lived and worked in that town. I just can’t take it any more. For one thing, all the streets that are blocked off around it at night and sometimes for “special” occasions during the day. Its like a “Boys Only No Girls Allowed” thing of yesteryear. The Obamas never did that. Nor did The Shrub and his predecessors. I am aiming to move in the new year and I am going to take some very sentimental pictures with me so I can show them to my grandkids when I tell them my story. I use to be so proud of D.C. and the White House but now it all only makes me sad.
9I am ashamed every time I think these things, but the evil angel on one shoulder whispers that perhaps a bunch of those supporters at his RNC events, motorcycle rally in whatever Dakota, whatever other rallies and big groups they congregate in will contract COVID and be unable to vote. I am afraid every day that he will end up re-elected, whether because people will not vote for Biden since Biden is not [name your previous Dem contender] or people will be afraid, or too lazy or decide to write in Bambi or whatever. OR that the Russians and other nefarious entities will somehow rig things in Trump’s favor. It’s terrifying to me to think of 4 more years of this awful creature in the White House. Trump has walled off THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE. It is not his house. Never will be. My hatred for him has grown to astronomical size.
10Treehugger@10–I feel the same.
11We’re a country of approximately 350 million people. Anyone feeling as enraged as we are at being held hostage by ~60 million covidiots and the meager .01%?
