The speech by President Donald Trump on the inaugural night of the Midterm Republican Convention in Dallas was a resounding success that attracted television ratings higher than the inaugural game of the NFL season.
"The Republican Midterm Convention last night in Dallas was a resounding success and sold-out, much bigger, better, and more important than anyone thought possible", Trump wrote on social media this morning. "It was truly incredible, it was broadcast everywhere and had very high numbers, despite competing against the NFL. The total numbers surpassed those of the NFL," he added.
The convention competed on Wednesday night with the inaugural game of the American football season, where the New England Patriots faced the reigning champions Seattle Seahawks. The nationally broadcast game began at 8:20 p.m. Eastern time, while Trump's speech started shortly after 9 p.m.
