High ratings wasn't the goal. This is politics, not a season premier of a TV show.
You're talking to people who voted for a guy whose greatest accomplishment was starring on a reality TV show.
Trump is like that car wreck you drive by on the highway. You can't help but watch. His "ratings" were in no way shape or form reflective of his popularity, and certainly not reflective of his job performance. He is the worst president of the last 100 years. I thought it would be hard for anyone to beat GW Bush AND Nixon (both Republicans by the way)...but Trump managed to do it in only one term.
Joe Biden's address to congress was a ratings DISASTER
Early numbers show only 11.6 million people tuned into Biden's speech to Congress on Wednesday night, way down from similar speeches by ex-president Trump.
In fact, then new president Trump's first speech to Congress on April 30 2017 drew around 48 million viewers, and, although not all the numbers are in yet for Biden's speech
Even according to vociferously pro-Biden Deadline, it was admitted that "Biden’s first address to a sparse Congress was one of the least watched in recent history."
I can only watch any presidential speech for so long before I change the channel out of boredom. I listened to President Joe's speech for about 35 minutes, I think.
For how many years has he been doing the whispery grandfather tone, or is that new? (I confess to not having followed his speeches very closely before the end of the presidential campaign). Sometimes it's effective, sometimes it seems affected.
I am very pleased at the President's effort to get Americans vaccinated; though I don't think enough of us have had the shot. Yet.
It was obscenely creepy watching an old white guy talking with no mask, standing in front of two women who sat there with covered up faces like morons, listening to the plans they’ve all made to destroy America and Americans, gut the middle class, and put Americans last. But don’t worry. He’s “got the back” of gays and trans.

Remember every shot going into the Arms of the American people was contracted for by Trump early in the pandemic.

Hmm...I thought his greatest accomplishments were the successful business ventures all over the world, the billions in assets, the jet with his name on it and the series of trophy wives.
The TV series came along because he did all that other **** first.
FTR, what type of jet do you own?
