>Does POTUS realize he sounds like a total asshole when he talks about ratings at these press briefings?
He's always been about the stats. He always calls out his Electoral College win numbers. Always calls out Economy numbers. Rally sizes. Even when he was candidate he talked about how rich he was. I like it, because it's authentically him. Not a big fan of POTUS chained and on a script, even though I respect it when he does it for important addresses to the nation like he did for the border wall, Soleimani, and Blown to bits Baghdadi.
Besides, I think the reason he's calling attention to the ratings is to illustrate why he's being removed from the televison. Not because of "lies" as MSM says, but because he's getting good ratings. It reinforces that point.
POTUS is the shit.
