President Trump Calls Roseanne To Congratulate Her On Triumphant Return

I watched the first episode of the ‘Roseanne’ reboot last night.

It was cute.

Definitely some great one-liners in there, and in all, I think it has great potential to be really interesting as the season progresses.

It looks like someone else watched it: President Trump… and he called Roseanne last night to congratulate her himself.

According to Daily Mail:

Donald Trump has always cared about television ratings, and this week he definitely noticed when Roseanne Barr’s show pulled in huge numbers.

Trump personally called Barr to offer his congratulations after her eponymous family sitcom pulled in a whopping 18.2 million viewers on Tuesday night.

The president spoke to the comedian about the premiere’s ‘huge’ ratings, and thanked Barr for her continued public support, according to the New York Times.

He also reportedly thanked Barr, 65, for making her character in the show a passionate Trump supporter.

You know what’s cool?

The Hollywood media has done EVERYTHING in their power to make sure that conservatives are not represented whatsoever. FINALLY, someone has the balls to show a Trump supporter on TV… and do it in a way where the joke ISN’T on them.

And you know what?

IT WORKED.

PEOPLE LOVED IT.

Here’s a wakeup call, Hollywood. We’re here, we’re NOT going away, and soon you’ll realize that your refusal to acknowledge us as anything but “a basket of deplorables” is going to cost you. Big time.

The call was confirmed by White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

It is hardly a surprise that Roseanne, which follows blue-collar family the Connors and stars the comedian as a Trump fan, hit big with Middle America.

The show performed best in states that Trump easily won in 2016, while Americans in the left-leaning coastal states hardly tuned in at all.

Roseanne’s highest ratings were in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which Trump won easily in 2016 with 65.3 percent of the vote, according to Deadline.

Rounding out the top three were Cincinnati, Ohio and Kansas City, Missouri.

Chicago, which came in at number five, was the only blue state to appear in the top 10 for the show’s ratings.

But this could also be due to the fact that the show, which first premiered in 1988 and ran for 10 seasons, has always taken place in Illinois.

ABC also took efforts to promote the show in the city, even airing a preview of the premiere at the 54th Chicago International Film Festival.

While New York and Los Angeles are the top two television markets, respectively, Roseanne did not appear in either state’s Top 20.

But Roseanne nabbed the highest demo rating since the fall 2014 premiere of The Big Bang Theory, scoring a 5.1 rating in the all important adults 18-49 category.

The revival’s premiere also drew in 10 percent more viewers than the original series’ finale in 1997.

Roseanne’s ratings have baffled media analysts, who note that much of Tuesday’s audience came from viewers who weren’t even born when the first show ran.

Really? Baffled?

These mouthbreathers can’t get it through their head that MILLIONS of Americans are excited to see a show that speaks to them?

I’m not surprised at ALL.

But I’m excited for the Hollywood libs to see what they’re missing out on by shutting us out.
