He knows that ratings (advertisement $$$) is important to FOX news and the other news outlets.Exactly how clueless is Donald T. Rump?
This clueless:
"Let them have their debate and let's see how they do with the ratings." (here)
The "ratings". He actually thinks running for president is about selling widgets to the unwashed.
I mean -- holy shit.
Of course it is. It's why what they do is News Theater and not "News".
It just speaks volumes about him that "ratings" is what he thinks this all means. It just reconfirms --- nay, nails to the wall --- my point that what he's after is, and always has been and always will be, not political office but personal attention. Because that after all is what ratings is. He's just made maybe the most revealingly candid statement that's ever come out of his narcissistic mouth, ever.
