The President touted his Tulsa, Oklahoma speech as having “the highest Saturday television ratings in @FoxNews history, and his town hall with @seanhannity “dominated T.V. with my interview on Thursday night.” Particularly gleeful was his note that those beat the hated CNN and MSNBC (which he called MSDNC) combined.

“These are the real polls, the Silent Majority, not FAKE POLLS!,” he concluded.

Forbes reported that Fox News Channel drew a total audience of 7.661 million viewers between the hours of 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, ahead of CNN (2.2 million total viewers) and MSNBC (1.9 million viewers), both avoiding live coverage of the rally. The Los Angeles Times said weekend news programming accounted for three of last week’s four prime-time programs to average more than 6 million viewers, topped by Fox News Channel’s coverage of President Trump’s rally.
