Fewer Americans tuned into the State of the Union this year, even as President Donald Trump delivered the longest one in history.

Preliminary data released by Nielsen on Wednesday showed an estimated 12 percent decrease in total viewership for the State of the Union Address across the seven most-watched networks: ABC, CBS, CNN, MS Now, NBC, Fox News, and the Fox broadcast network.

Trump’s 108-minute-long speech drew about 27.8 million viewers, down from an audience of 31.45 million for his address to a joint session of Congress last year.

And Republicans generally liked what they heard. You can really fool them all of the time.

6. And most of them were journalists obliged to watch it for the next day's story

8. And bookies needing to know if they were gonna pay out on those "live, on-air total mental breakdown" bets.

Or the "live, on-air brain aneurysm" bets.
