Low ratings for SOTU according to Nielson

28 million watched across all network and cable platforms compared to 36.6 in 2025. And 2025 was already very low. People are sick of him. Makes me think that the men's Hockey team members who allowed themselves to be used by trump are going to regret it. Align yourself with a loser and it is hard to get the stink off.

He has little new to offer and he didn't even offer that. A lame duck speech for a man that wishes he accomplished things, didn't, and has no plans to accomplish more.

but it seems like he would come across as obsessively needy and weak the way he was basically begging for applause and bragging.

I hope someone gets these stats to Donald. They will drive him crazy. (Well, crazier.)

Donald Trumpâ€™s State of the Union this week drew an audience of 28 million television viewers.

Joe Bidenâ€™s 2024 State of the Union drew an audience of 32.2 million viewers.
