His idea of unity means to unite behind his messianic eminence. It is not so much about bringing people together as it is about purging every dissenter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62211\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Felonious Trump Says Uniting the Nation Means Giving Him the Freedom to Commit Crimes at Will<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it came time for Trump to deliver his highly anticipated unification speech, he didn&#8217;t disappoint the critics who knew at the outset that he couldn&#8217;t pull off that sort of transformation. What he unleashed to the glassy-eyed cult disciples in the convention hall was a stream-of-consciousness harangue that went on for 96 minutes without ever providing a single policy proposal or affirmative vision for the future. It was nothing more than a rehash of his America-bashing rally rants, except spoken in a slower, more stodgy style.<\/p>\n<p>So no one should be surprised that Trump was ecstatic about his own performance. He posted a couple of comments on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=61934\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his floundering social media scam, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>, exalting himself and lying about his reception by the public. He began by <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/112815770800867493\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bragging<\/a> about&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Big TV RATINGS last night for the Republican Convention, the best and most successful in history! Fox led the way. MSNBC was dead last. Four Great Days!!!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fact Check: FALSE! The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/07\/republican-convention-ratings-trump-1236016185\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ratings for Trump&#8217;s speech<\/a><\/strong> were less than stellar. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=62224\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">first three nights of the MAGA-fest were not exactly barn burners<\/a><\/strong>. And while the final night&#8217;s tally was an improved 25.38 million viewers, that&#8217;s only 6% more than the COVID-hampered 4th night of the 2020 RNC convention. Even worse, it was about 20% lower than the 2016 affair.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Fact checks, Trump was found to have lied more than twenty times during his speech.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Gee&#8230; Ya mean Trump lied a whole bunch?

But it isn&#8217;t exactly news that Trump&#8217;s Ministry of Propaganda did well while airing their Dear Leader. Even so, more people watched on networks other than Fox.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump&#8217;s viewership was likely lower than these numbers represent because he didn&#8217;t begin his marathon monologue (the longest ever at 96 minutes) until about 10:30 ET, and didn&#8217;t finish until after midnight. These ratings don&#8217;t detail any viewing after primetime, which ends at 11:00. And the audience generally declines as it gets later in the evening.<\/p>\n<p>The other Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/112815777394606954\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">comment<\/a> on Truth Social was his expression of gratitude for the reception he received&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Thank you to all for the great reviews of my speech last night.

That&#8217;s slightly less than than Trump&#8217;s, but it was delivered during a virtual convention due to COVID. More recently, Biden&#8217;s State of the Union address drew more than 32 million viewers earlier this year. The Biden\/Trump debate had an audience of 51 million.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Trump&#8217;s ratings are nothing to brag about. But that doesn&#8217;t stop him from doing so. He is obsessed with numbers, whether it&#8217;s ratings, or net worth, or crowd size at his cult rallies. And he will lie profusely in order pump himself up.
