Former President Donald Trump spent the last day of 2022 reflecting—not on the many legal challenges he faces in the new year, and not on the 2024 presidential campaign he kicked off in November that has been widely panned as “low energy,” but on the cable news networks and how they seem to have moved on from the man who was long considered “good TV.”
In a message published Saturday to his Truth Social platform, Trump suggested that ratings declines the cable news networks experienced in 2022 are all, essentially, about him. “Wow!!! So while Trump Hating CNN & MSNBC (MSDNC!) RATINGS are both at record lows, numbers that they have never seen before (“they’re toast”),” Trump wrote. “Fox News Ratings are also way down because they never say “Trump” or TRUTH, never talk about the Rigged Presidential Election, and is a Fake Polling Network. Our giant MAGA base, much bigger than anyone knows, does not like watching Fox play their games. Their Ratings will continue to sink. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
