Trump Cries To Aides That Harris Will Get Larger Convention Audience Than He Got

Donald Trump’s RNC convention was one of the least-viewed conventions in recent history, and according to new reports, he’s fuming to aides about his fears of Kamala Harris getting higher ratings with the DNC convention this week. Ratings are the only thing that Trump cares about, and he is desperate to not be outshined by the Democrats. But don’t worry, even if his ratings were lower, he’ll still lie about them and claim that he won, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Donald Trump's Republican Convention from about a month or so ago, was actually one of the least watched Republican conventions in years and years and years. And it started off really low on Monday night, and then as each night progressed, the ratings for it actually continued to get even worse, which of course was a huge blow to Donald Trump. And that's why, according to multiple sources who spoke with Rolling Stone, Donald Trump is now terrified that Kamala Harris's, uh, convention speech on Thursday night is going to draw in more viewers than Donald Trump did for his Republican convention. And I think it's probably pretty safe to assume that yeah, that's definitely going to happen and there's nothing you can do about it. But for a man who is currently so obsessed with his rally crowd sizes, her rally crowd sizes, his ratings on tv, it's going to be the most detrimental thing to Donald Trump imaginable.

If Harris pulls in more viewers than he did, and the Harris Walls campaign is actually already prepared for that scenario, and they've said, yeah, we're gonna rub it in his face if that happens. Here's what they said. If Thursday night's broadcast hauls in enough viewers, it would give Democratic operatives yet another tool to try to mess with Trump's head. A recurring theme in the Harris Walls messaging Salvos, a Harris campaign official simply tells Rolling Stone that, yes, of course the campaign will publicly troll team Trump. If the Vice President's ratings end up being higher than his were so they're already prepared, they're gonna weaponize this. And you know, we've gotta get there. We've gotta get the ratings data, which of course is not gonna be available till at some point, likely on Friday. But given the fact that Donald Trump's Republican Convention pulled in fewer voter or viewers, excuse me, than any convention in recent years, I think this is a safe assumption.

There is energy, not just at the convention for the Democrats, but energy with the public. They want to tune in, they want to see hell. And by the way, the media's done such a good job of hyping up all the protests and oh God, is something gonna happen? Then of course people are gonna tune in. Now they're wanting to know like, well, I need to watch because maybe there's gonna be something crazy with the protests. So the media already accidentally set the stage for the DNC getting higher viewership than the RNC. Not to mention Harris', for all practical purposes, knew as a candidate, Trump was old and stale. It was his third convention, right? You're watching reruns. At that point, nobody cared. They're gonna care about Harris because they do care what she has to say because again, she is relatively new to the national spotlight as the main

Candidate. So Trump better get prepared for heartache because this isn't gonna end well for him. But I will say, it doesn't matter if Kamala Harris's convention pulls in a hundred million viewers. It doesn't matter if she pulls in 200 million viewers, because I can promise you right here, right now, no matter how many viewers she gets, Donald Trump will claim that he got more. It's all fake news. None of it's real. It's all AI generated. He will not accept it, just like he will not accept the election results. So don't worry if he does end up losing the ratings battle, he's just gonna lie about it and pretend it never happened. 'cause that's what he always does.
