President Trump in a new AP interview published Monday boasted that he has delivered CBS its best ratings since the World Trade Center came down. After being asked about his relationship with voters and lawmakers across the aisle, Trump pivoted to the high viewership numbers his national TV appearances bring in: Its interesting, I have, seem to get very high ratings... You know [Fox News Sunday host] Chris Wallace had 9.2 million people, its the highest in the history of the show. I have all the ratings for all those morning shows. When I go, they go double, triple. Chris Wallace, look back during the Army-Navy football game, I did his show that morning. It had 9.2 million people. Its the highest theyve ever had. He then bragged about his ratings on CBSs Sunday show Face the Nation: (Host John) Dickerson had 5.2 million people. Its the highest for Face the Nation or, as I call it, Deface the Nation. Its the highest for Deface the Nation since the World Trade Center. Since the World Trade Center came down. Its a tremendous advantage. He then immediately transitioned to railing against fake mediasave for Fox Newstreating him unfairly.

(2,434 posts)reality show and unaware he has already won the prize. He thinks the prize is to win more ratings than Obama. I didn't know there was any other way to usurp 9/11 for the GOP's purposes, but then I keep underestimating their lies and greed.
