The best part about this story is knowing it drives him absolutely insane to not have good ratings.

Pretty much yeah- extremely satisfying to know he got bad ratings.
but it’s not surprising- isn’t everyone sick of hearing this idiot talk by now? Like 24-7 trump trump trump for 4 years wasn’t enough, who on earth would wanna watch a 60 minutes interview

Not surprising.
Everyone knows 60 Minutes caters to a mob of violent hippies.

Both yesterday and today, they’ve made a special point on Morning Joe to call Trump a baby, just to get under his (very orange) skin.

His grip on reality is pretty tenuous at best. This may not be rhetorical.

But. We know what will happen.
- Tomorrow he will tweet that more than 10 million people watched him.
- Day after tomorrow he’ll re-iterate that 60 Minutes and A.P. is fake news.
- Three days from now he’ll forget about the whole thing, because: dementia.
So tragically predictable.

Fake News.
Most minutes in 60 minutes history.

I had the feeling this was dawning when I recently saw clips of one of his mob rallies.
His shtick sounded so used up and tired. Even newer ‘bits’ sounded more hollow, meaningless, half-baked, and petty than before.
I thought I could sense it in the crowd, too. Sure, they still cheered -everyone gets all fired up at these things, I’m sure- but there were these moments in between where attendees seemed to briefly see the true face, silently asking themselves, ‘This is a total shitshow right here, isn’t it?’
I would link to the clip, but alas, no youtube.

Must be viewer fraud.

Trump will claim that it was a huge ratings hit, and then Trump will claim that Neilsen always was out to get him … even before he was on TV.

Also the minor detail that 60 Minutes airs when most people are trying to eat their dinner, thank you very much!
