Trump and the entire MAGA wingnut echo system feigned outrage and went ballistic over Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks that had nothing to do with Charlie Kirk and ABC suspended him, but the initial scream-a-thon proved pointless as Kimmel’s return ratings were mind boggling.
I expected Kimmel to get a sizable bounce, but the response was off the charts incredible. This shows how weak and mealy-mouthed Trump’s attacks are to the public at large.
The leadership of many corporations are run by right wingers and Trump donors so it wasn’t a surprise they jumped in to castigate Kimmel.
However, viewers are not intimidated by Brendan Carr or the MAGA thugs in the media, hence the incredible ratings.
Well, let’s take a look at YouTube views, Jimmy Kimmel Live video views. The six-month median, the median video only gets 240,000. Look how many views Tuesday night’s monologue already has.
6.7 million.
That’s over 25 times as large as the median Jimmy Kimmel video normally gets, and I was looking. It is by far the largest video in at least six months, so if Donald Trump’s idea was to give Jimmy Kimmel more press and more viewership, he absolutely did so. Of course, I don’t think that is what Donald Trump intended to do.
