The Trump MAGA base did not turn out in droves for yesterday’s inauguration.
In fact, yesterday’s ratings were down 6 million viewers the 2021 numbers for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Total viewers across 15 networks was just 24.59 million, down from Biden’s 33.7 million.
Trump’s 2017 numbers were 30 million, which he means he lost to himself yesterday.
Young people did not watch the proceedings, they tuned it out. According to Nielsen, 17.4 million viewers were 55 and above, 4.67 million were 35-54 and 1.43 million were 18.34.
Of course because it was a right wing installation, and older viewers, Fox News got the most eyes. CNN and MSNBC did little business. In 2021, when Biden came in, it was the reverse.
All of this makes perfect sense. Trump’s audience skews older — he’s frightened them, but of course today he essentially raised prescription drug prices for Medicare, reversing Biden’s huge strides in making drugs affordable. Trump has conned his constituency into believing he’s on their side.
But younger people, meaning anyone from 18 to 54, knew better. So they ignored this whole miserable event.
Today was Day 2 of Trump destroying the country, raping the land, and denying people all over the world basic human rights. Unless, of course, you watch Fox, where he’s a hero.
