在周六上午的一系列推文中，唐纳德·特朗普总统指责新闻媒体正确报道了共和党全国代表大会和他接受提名的演讲在电视收视率上被民主党全国代表大会和乔·拜登一周前的演讲击败。
根据尼尔森收视率调查，周四晚上特朗普在RNC的演讲吸引了2340万观众，而拜登的演讲吸引了2460万观众。总的来说，民主党人在所有四个晚上的大会上的平均收视率也高于共和党人。数据显示，RNC平均拥有1940万观众，而全国数字电视中心平均拥有2160万观众。
作为对收视率的回应，特朗普公布了他的竞选团队的自报数字，其中包括数字和电视观众。
“哇!尽管民主党人在电视和网络上的观点都是谎言(骗子!)，我们有1.479亿，共和党全国代表大会把民主党全国代表大会吹走了。一点也不近!”法宝书写在周六的推特上。“就像他们对俄罗斯的谎言一样，足球(PLAY!)和其他一切!11月3日。”

他继续说，转发了自己的竞选数字:“假新闻不想报道这些数字。@latimes等人在真正的数字出现之前就相信了歪德姆。很遗憾，在“特朗普”这个问题上，我们没有诚实的报道。假消息来源，他们说什么都行，认为他们可以逃脱惩罚。11月3日。”
特朗普经常将电视收视率作为衡量成功的标准。今年4月，他在推特上写道:“我这辈子的收视率很高，这对我来说没什么不寻常的。”白宫新闻发布会的收视率“非常高”(周一晚上的足球，单身大结局，纽约时报)，但我不在乎这个。我关心的是把假消息传递给人们!”
我一生都有很好的“收视率”，这对我来说没什么不寻常的。白宫新闻发布会的收视率是“爆棚”(周一晚上的足球，单身大结局，@nytimes)但我不在乎。我关心的是向人们传播假消息!

Trump blames media after DNC tops RNC in TV ratings
In a series of tweets Saturday morning, President Donald Trump targeted news outlets for correctly reporting that the Republican National Convention and his speech accepting the nomination were beat in TV ratings by the Democratic National Convention and Joe Biden's speech a week earlier.
Trump’s speech at the RNC Thursday night drew 23.4 million viewers compared with Biden’s speech, which drew 24.6 million, according to Nielson ratings. Overall, the average viewership for all four nights of the conventions were also higher for Democrats than Republicans. The RNC had an average 19.4 million viewers while the DNC averaged 21.6 million, according to the data.
In response to the ratings, Trump publicized his campaign's self-reported numbers, which includes digital and television viewers.
"Wow! Despite the Democrats views across TV and online lie (Con!), we had 147.9 million, the Republican National Convention blew the Democrat National Convention AWAY. Not even close!" Trumpwrotein a tweet on Saturday. "Just like their lies on Russia, Football (PLAY!) and everything else! NOVEMBER 3rd."

He continued, retweeting the campaign's own numbers: "The Fake News doesn’t want to report these numbers. The @latimes and others believed the Crooked Dems before the real numbers came out. Too bad we don’t have honest reporting when it comes to “Trump”. Phony sources, they say anything and think they get away with it. November 3rd."
Trump has often used television ratings as a measure of success. In April, he tweeted: "I’ve had great “ratings” my whole life, there’s nothing unusual about that for me. The White House News Conference ratings are “through the roof”(Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale , @nytimes) but I don’t care about that. I care about going around the Fake News to the PEOPLE!"
