Obsessed as he is with big crowd numbers and ratings, the narcissistic Malignant Fascist won't be happy about these numbers, as reported by the Associated Press:
"An estimated 24.6 million television viewers watched President Donald Trump’s second inauguration, the smallest audience for the quadrennial ceremony since Barack Obama’s second inauguration in 2013.
The Nielsen Company said Tuesday that viewership was down from Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration, which reached 33.8 million, and Trump’s first move into the White House, seen by 30.6 million in 2017. [snip]
The length of Trump’s inauguration coverage may have hurt him in bragging rights. The 24.6 million figure represents the average number of people tuning in to coverage on one of 15 networks between 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Eastern. In past years, the coverage didn’t go on for so long, which meant the averages were likely higher because people tune away as the day goes on." (our emphasis)
We'd venture to say that the length of the coverage and the ugly and familiar content was what caused people to tune out the MF's celebration of American fascism.
