Stormy Daniels Gets Higher Ratings Than Donald Trump
by EG
Donald Trump hasn't yet tweeted that the Stormy Daniels interview on failing 60 Minutes got lower ratings than his own interview, but when he does, don't believe him. Daniels' interview drew the biggest audience for the show since it aired an interview with Barack and Michelle Obama back in 2008. Daniels' interview also scored a bigger audience than Trump's own 60 Minutes interview in Novemeber 2016. It's hard to imagine anything that would irritate Trump more than being beaten in the ratings by both Daniels and Obama, and that's just what happened.

UPDATED: Stormy Daniels’ 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper drove the CBS newsmag to 21.3 million viewers, up +111% from last week and its most watched episode since Steve Kroft’s interview with Barack and Michelle Obama in November 2008, shortly after he was elected president.
That decade-old interview had attracted 24.5 million viewers, with all three segments devoted to the president-elect and his wife.
Previously this morning, Sunday’s 60 Minutes hit 16.3/27 in the 56 Nielsen metered markets – a big night for Stormy, being way up compared with previous Sunday’s 7.6/13. Back on November 16, 2008, the Obamas’ interview clocked a metered-marked 17.4/26.
Cooper’s taped interview with Daniels will repeat tonight on his CNN primetime show, AC360.
Interest in Daniels’ story had been running high for weeks, reaching the boiling point Sunday. Several hours after the interview wrapped, the porn star who claims to have had an affair with now-president Donald Trump still was No. 1 trending topic on Twitter in the United States.
In Sunday’s broadcast, Daniels for the first time described the threat she says a man made against her in 2011 in a Las Vegas parking lot, unless she dropped her story, after she had agreed to tell all to a tabloid.
Daniels also said for the first time that she wasn’t attracted to Trump, which some pundits had predicted might trigger a POTUS Twitter tirade this morning. She also claimed to have spanked the future President of the United States in his hotel suite the day she met him, using a magazine that had his face on the cover.
