Ratings Tank For Kennedy Center Honors With President Trump as Host

34 comments

1. The Kennedy Center Honors audience doesn’t overlap much with the Trump fan base, I imagine.

2. The next time he hosts he is going to require it to be simulcast on every network.

3. Weird. Here’s what he had to say before they happened:
   >In August, when Trump announced that he would host, he said, “I’ve been asked to host. I said, ‘I’m the president of the United States. Are you folks asking me to do that.’ ‘Sir, you’ll get much higher ratings.’ I said, ‘I don’t care. I’m the president of the United States. I won’t do it.’ They said, ‘Please.’ And then [chief of staff] Susie Wiles said, ‘Sir. I would like you to host.’ I said, ‘OK, I’ll do it.’”

   So I’m sure he’ll post something on Truth Social about how wrong he was and that other people would clearly have done a better job.

4. Yes, he’s a l0ser.

5. Why buy the rotted beef when you can get the spoiled milk for free?

6. >Preliminary data from Nielsen shows CBS had “its smallest ever audience” for the Kennedy Center Honors with an estimated 2.65 million viewers … a sharp, 35% decline from 2024 when the show had 4.1 million viewers.

7. It’s probably from all the rapes

8. Remember when he had to have his second inauguration indoors because of “dangerously cold weather” (it was 39 degrees in DC) and the crowds were *still* tiny?

   God that feels like 10 years ago.

9. Shocked pikachu face

10. We ALL hate you Donnie, get off the fucking stage.

11. “WOW! “Ratings” just came “in” for my “hosting” gig at the TRUMP-KENNEDY CENTER HONORS! Seventy-five billion people “tuned in” to watch YOUR FAVORITE PRESIDENT (ME!) “host” the “event.” RATINGS THROUGH THE “ROOF!” MOST WATCHED “EVENT” IN “HISTORY?” MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING!”-Trump later tonight probably.

12. They sent a strong message for sure.

13. Crazy because if it wasn’t for the overall CBS boycott and Trump forcing his way onto shit, the KC ratings would’ve been stable, the ratings for it do pretty well. Trump supporters don’t care about the arts and every thing that it is. It’s like the Target thing all over again. Trump and his crew are not well liked AND when it comes to art, the Trumps are the last ones people think about. They are just wet blankets with money.

14. He’s making a phone call right now to Neilson and CBS. The ketchup bottle is empty.

15. He doesn’t even have to fake like he’s working on Christmas Day.

16. Yeah, he’s running his mouth for the camera often enough.

17. I am sure the ratings are just another tool from the left to be bias towards him. We need to get rid of ratings and let the orange idiot make up whatever numbers he wants. I bet more people watched this than the last 5 Super Bowls and the MASH finale combined!

18. A single 24-hour period, where his name isn’t in a headline and his image isn’t on a screen, would be the most damaging thing to him.

19. *Best ratings ever in the history of our country! Twice as many people viewed it at home than were in the audience.*

20. Trump claiming the late night hosts deserve to get canceled for low ratings and thrn his own ratings are shit.

21. Damm. Now he won’t want to quit playing president to go back to being a game show host.

22. I didn’t know this was on. I would have purposefully avoided it if I’d known.

23. Caught just a few minutes and turned it off once Trump came on. But damn that David Phelps can sing. Never heard of him before and I was impressed. But will probably never hear him again.

24. Trump has whatever the opposite of the Midas touch is. Seriously.

25. The kiss of death-the orange felon’s name branding.

26. finally, some good news.

27. Trump hosted and it was on CBS. So…two very good reasons to avoid it.

28. He will be paying people to fill the room, no doubt

29. He will say it was the most watched event of the year, some say even the century. Greater than the Super Bowl.

30. Everything he touched dies…

31. Everything Trump touches turns to mushy dog shit, and it’s too bad MAGA was too stupid and hateful to have been able to understand that.

32. I’ve watched every year for a long time, it was a tradition with my mother. It was sad seeing it in the guide and scrolling past. But there’s no way I’m watching that.

33. Shocking. We are talking about a man who talked about his wife’s panties for five minutes before justifying a payout to himself. This man belongs in a home with locked doors or a prison cell. The later would best for the country.

34. I’m hoping nothing will be scheduled there as long as his name is disgracing the name of the John F Kennedy Center.

    The absolute best ‘Fuck You’ the arts world could send to Donald J. Trump. What a crying little baby child.

    What’s next? The United States if Trump? Adolf tried that with Germany. It didn’t end well for him.
