Record-Setting 80 Million People Watched Trump’s Return To The Campaign Trail: ‘People Want Honest Coverage!’
DC Enquirer ^ | February 2, 2023 | Reed Cooper

A reportedly record-setting 80-million-people watched 45th President Donald Trump’s first two campaign events this past weekend with two stops in New Hampshire and South Carolina. The events mark the first time that the former president since has taken to the campaign trail since he announced his 2024 bid in November.

“WOW, BIG news just in! My weekend visit to New Hampshire and South Carolina was record setting business on social media! Over 80,000,000 watched. It is no surprise now why the Fake News Media ratings are SO BAD. People want honest coverage,” Trump announced in a post on Truth Social on Monday.

My weekend visit to New Hampshire and South Carolina was record setting business on social media! Over 80 million watched. It is no surprise now why the Fake News Media ratings are SO BAD,” Trump continued on Thursday. “People want honest coverage. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”

Trump, while speaking in Columbia, South Carolina alongside his leadership team in the state, said America needs a fighter back in the White House and laid out his plan for America.

“We need a fighter who can stand up to the left, stand up to the swamp, stand up to the media, stand up to the deep state. Am I allowed to say stand up to the RINOs, too?” Trump said. “We’re going to find the deep state actors who have burrowed into the government, fire them, and escort them from federal buildings. That will go very quickly.”

“We’re going to stop the appalling weaponization of our justice system. There’s never been a justice system like this. It’s all investigation, investigation. I’ve been going through it for seven years,” Trump continued. “We’re going to stop the left-wing radical racists and perverts who are trying to indoctrinate our youth. And we’re going to get their Marxist hands off of our children.”

WATCH: DONALD TRUMP BLASTS WASHINGTON D.C. FOR BILL THAT GOES SOFT-ON-CRIME – ‘WASHINGTON D.C. WILL BECOME A HELLSCAPE’

This isn’t the only news Trump has to be happy about, either!

After Meta-formerly-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth dropped by $70.2 billion in 2022, dropping him 14 spots down to the 20th richest person in the world, according to Bloomberg, Meta announced last week they will be reinstating Trump to their platforms “in the coming weeks.”

“FACEBOOK, which has lost Billions of Dollars in value since ‘deplatforming’ your favorite President, me, has just announced that they are reinstating my account,” Trump reacted in a post on his booming social media platform, Truth Social.

“Such a thing should never again happen to a sitting President, or anybody else who is not deserving of retribution! THANK YOU TO TRUTH SOCIAL FOR DOING SUCH AN INCREDIBLE JOB. YOUR GROWTH IS OUTSTANDING, AND FUTURE UNLIMITED,” Trump added.

Meta reported their first-ever quarterly decline in revenue from the previous year in July 2022.

In January 2021, Facebook suspended President Donald Trump from Facebook and Instagram for two years.

No more remote ballot boxes, limit mail-in ballots, make presidentional election years a federal holiday so majority can vote in person, ID required.

I worked a polling place near a University. Most students had not taken the time to register so they had to use valid rental agreement papers.

That’s ridiculous. I don’t believe 80 million for a second. But if it makes people feel good and helps with recruiting donors, then by all means let’s just make it an even 100 million.

80 million?

There isn’t 10 million people in the US that could point both SC and NH out on a map.

TRUMP is coming back with a vengeance. This time even Democrat wokesters Will Vote for him. GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Where are the Peace marches? Sit ins and rallies? Maybe they will come with the return of the draft—this time girls will go too. One battle will make them Women! (and many mothers). WE have some hard times coming—and Trump will be there. Good! We need a deal maker to end this war that is looming.

No one cares what you believe.

you don’t have to know anything about maps or states or countries to watch something on the internet, DUH.

Find a better argument. That one does not fly

I never said anyone did, but anyone who believes that number is not thinking clearly. Only the Super Bowl gets a number like that and I hilariously doubt 80 million people watched Trump give a speech on a Friday night. My dad, a Trumpster, did not even know about it. Neither did others. I like Trump and I didn't even watch it because I figured I'll watch it later.

Eighty million is only achieved on a free over the air network broadcast, which this was not. I'm always amazed at what people believe.

Are the numbers ginned up?

I would venture a guess that it’s a collective total of hits, views, impressions, shares, subscriptions, downloads, etc., across all media platforms.

One can find personalities on YouTube that have billions of views. Yes, that’s billions with a “b” so in the context of todays’ viral phenomenon, it is quite possible 80 million “interactions” took place.

Also, the world wide web (Internet) and its global reach at the speed of light might account for a certain percentage of the 80 million interactions being counted.
