Taggart star Colin McCredie mocked Donald Trump’s viewership ratings and he’s got a point.

The 47-year-old slammed the US president after he bragged about being a ‘hit’.

Trump’s account tweeted: ‘President Trump is a ratings hit. Since reviving the daily White House briefing Mr. Trump and his coronavirus updates have attracted an average audience of 8.5 million on cable news, roughly the viewership of the season finale of ‘The Bachelor.’

‘Numbers are continuing to rise…’

8.5 million views might sound like a lot, but Colin disagrees.

He responded: ‘That’a actually p*** poor, Donald, when you consider my first appearance in Taggart got 13million!’

The population of the USA is over 327 million, which means only 2.5% of people tuned in to his daily briefings.

At least the numbers are rising.

Trump’s tweet was taken from a New York Times article which explored his ratings compared to other reality TV shows.

‘…On Monday, nearly 12.2 million people watched Mr. Trump’s briefing on CNN, Fox News and MSNBC, according to Nielsen — ‘Monday Night Football’ numbers,’ he continued the quote. ‘Millions more are watching on ABC, CBS, NBC and online streaming sites, and the audience is expanding.’

However, the full article’s main focus was that news networks were debating whether to air the conferences as the president has been providing the public with misleading information about Covid-19.
