Must say though, folk seem to have been paying attention to what he’s explained.  Comments I’ve read elsewhere express better understanding of his decision-making. He’s been able to keep folk tuning in to learn more. The guy’s not without humour. They’ve seen a laid-back side to him that they never got to when he was in office.Some might even have found empathy for him. Like, initially, when he was asked what he was doing on Election Day 2016 and he said he couldn’t remember, folk from both sides of the aisle hated that response. They couldn’t fathom how he couldn’t possibly remember, found him unbelievable, blah, blah. Some in the media blasted him for saying that. Then, in a later interview, he let slip in passing that he’d been at his bachelor pad and his family were at home in another state, and his wife wasn’t taking his calls…..  Ouch! As for Mr Trump, Variety reports that Political Interviews Yield Big Ratings in Era of the ‘Reality-Show President’.Since the presidential election two years ago, TV programs from “Fox & Friends” to “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” have benefited from a “Trump bump.” Now some shows and outlets are notching viewership surges by featuring people who bump Trump. …. “Trump is a reality-show president,” noted Ben Bogardus, an assistant professor in the journalism department at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn. “Now you have these accusers, who are also very entertaining. They know how to talk to the camera. They know how to appeal to an audience.” A broad range of TV anchors — and even a late-night host — have had their moment with former FBI director Comey. Fox News Channel Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier will get his turn April 26 on his “Special Report.” …. Judy Woodruff and PBS will get a crack at Comey on April 30. People can’t get enough of what Baier calls “the Full Comey.” “He is the big story we are all following — coverage of the Trump administration and the fallout of his firing,” says Baier. “He has people who are critical of him on both sides of the aisle and people who are supportive of him,” making for broad appeal that doesn’t seem to quit. Comey’s April 17 sit-down with Stephen Colbert gave the comedian’s “Late Show” its third-highest audience numbers since Colbert took over the program in 2015. Jake Tapper won his hour April 19 among all cable news rivals when Comey visited his “The Lead” on CNN. Still, there are limits. Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC interview with Comey on the same day came in second to a Fox News broadcast of “Hannity” (whose host was recently at the center of his own news maelstrom).
