Donald Trump’s presidential announcement at Mar-a-Lago last November was viewed by around 4.5 times the number of people as that of Governor Ron DeSantis’s on Twitter this week, according to the data.
DeSantis said his glitch-ridden Twitter Space, or a recording of it, had been watched by “probably over 10 million people”. There’s no evidence of this. In fact, the Space managed only just over 300,000 concurrent listeners, with Twitter showing a currently tally of 3.9 million people tuning in.
Trump’s announcement, despite many news networks not carrying it in full, interspersing it with adverts, or not carrying it at all, achieved millions more concurrent viewers. Fox News alone pulled in over 5.16 million people in the time slot, with CNN piling on 2.43 million more.
The number of people who tuned in after the fact is harder to determine, but some indication of the level of interest in Trump’s annoucement can be determined from looking at the numbers for networks which streamed Trump’s announcement on YouTube: Fox News pulled in 1.2m views, Fox Business another 826,000, and CNBC 612,000, for example.
Video of the full speech uploaded to the site by CNN adds 660,800 viewers, ABC Action News another 923,000, with hundreds of thousands more spread out across channels for relatively obscure broadcasters, with uploads of the speech by the likes of Fox 2 Detroit, for example, boasting 117,000 views. Video streaming platform Rumble showed a further 2.05 million views on the official account of Donald J. Trump alone, while the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN) announced that it hit more than 3.8 million viewers for the speech.
Trump again demonstrated this “ratings gold” again in April 2023, with a major speech following his indictment in New York being viewed by 6.6 million viewers on Fox alone, with another 2.125 million watching on CNN – “far higher than the network ha[d] seen in prime time in months,” Forbes observed.
Great news It’s Trump or nothing changes the good old boy club are trying to set things up.
If all eyes aren’t on the election our votes will be like the 2020 ballots STATE SECRETS.
81.000.000 votes my ass
