Donald Trump's Pre-Super Bowl Interview Ratings Dismal Compared To Obama's. SAD!
President Donald Trump, a man obsessed with television ratings, should really appreciate this fun statistic: His pre-Super Bowl television appearance got less ratings than former President Barack Obama’s first interview. Sad!
The Sunday interview was part of a now-customary tradition giving the U.S. president a platform to speak prior to the Super Bowl. Speaking to Bill O’Reilly on Fox News before the big game, Trump drew a measly 12.2 million viewers in Nielsen’s overnight ratings, according to Variety. By comparison, Obama brought in 21.9 million viewers in his first pre-game interview in 2009. (He followed up with 18 million viewers in 2014, 16.4 million in 2015, and 14.9 million in 2016.)
