He hasn't tweeted out these numbers for some reason.

President Donald Trump sat down on Sunday afternoon with Fox News for the president’s now-customary pre-Super Bowl interview. The segment with “O’Reilly Factor” host Bill O’Reilly, which aired during Fox
Broadcasting’s pre-game coverage around 4 p.m., drew a 7.8 household rating in Nielsen’s metered market overnight ratings.

Viewership figures will be available later Monday.

Here at last we have a true apples-to-apples comparison for a television event with Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama — or at least as close to one as we’re going to get.

President Obama’s last three sit-downs before the Super Bowl drew overnight household ratings of 9.2, 10.2, and 11.5. His first pre-Super Bowl interview, with NBC’s Matt Lauer in 2009, brought in an average audience of 21.9 million viewers in Nielsen’s final accounting; the overnight household rating for NBC from 4:30 to 5 p.m was a 9.6. The half-hour of 2011’s Super Bowl pre-game coverage — that included O’Reilly’s highly anticipated interview with Obama — attracted an average audience of 17.3 million.

We already knew that he's the YUGEST ever, the bestest thing since sliced bread (white, by the way), and already on his way to telling us who will win March Madness, Augusta, Kentucky Derby, NBA Championship, World Series, and elections for 2017, 2018, and the already pre-ordained presidential election of 2020.

Go to the back of your closet and see if you can find one of those "Magic Fortune-telling" balls and turn it over a couple of times. Sooner or later you will find the answer you're looking for.

Until then, we have..................................
