Hey there, Ryan Reynolds here. It's a new year and you know what that means. No, not the diet. Resolutions. A way for us all to try and do a little bit better than we did last year. And my resolution, unlike big wireless, is to not be a raging a**hole and raise the price of wireless on you every chance I get. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.
This is Donald Trump's worst nightmare. Some of the worst inauguration ratings in history. We're getting these numbers now. Not only were his ratings terrible, President Biden's inauguration ratings were terrible.
Trump's inauguration ratings down bigly from Biden's. It goes on to say how... 24.59 million viewers tuned into the Trump inauguration. That's 27% lower than President Biden's 2021 inauguration, which had 33.76 million viewers tracked from 17 channels. Donald Trump also had 19.75% lower viewers than his first pathetic inauguration.
Remember where we had those really small crowd sizes and his press team tried to act like this was the largest inauguration in history. you had lower ratings than that, Donald, and President Biden beat you.
Also, this whole inauguration was like probably the weakest, most pathetic and humiliating inauguration in history, not just from the perspective of these very low, small, teeny tiny ratings, Donald, but also Donald Trump blamed cold weather as the reason why he was bringing the inauguration from outside, inside, into the rotunda. Guess what, Donald?
When President Obama had millions of people show up for his inauguration after the 2008 election, it was basically the same exact By the way, when John F. Kennedy was inaugurated in 1961, the weather was much colder, significantly colder than it was on Trump's inauguration.
So Trump had it inside the rotunda where he gave this really bizarre unhinged speech where he talked about attacking Panama and he talked about all of this weird stuff, never mentioned bringing prices down, never mentioned healthcare. And then we saw all of the oligarchs and their spouses because they were allowed to bring their spouses. Others weren't allowed to bring their spouses.
The billionaire tech broligarchs were all sitting right there and they were making like weird, like tweaking face stuff. It was so bizarre to see Bezos' face and Musk's face. And then Bezos' wife showed up and she was like basically wearing an open blouse and just like exposing her chest with a bra. And then... Zuckerberg was like looking at her chest. The whole thing was so bizarre.
It shows that these people may have billions of dollars, but they are classless. They are clearly yearning for attention. And it's just so utterly powerless as they're there as props, as stooges for Donald Trump's utterly pathetic speech. What I want to talk about as well, though, is that a lot is very teeny tiny for Donald Trump.
