Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told The New York Times in an interview published Monday that the GOP race and television ratings would “collapse” if he were to drop out.
Trump said on Sunday that he would quit the race if he dropped in polls.
“I’d go back to my business. I have no problem with that,” he told NBC’s Chuck Todd.
He told the Times in late September that the race would be “boring” without him.
“There’d be a major collapse of the race, and there’d be a major collapse of television ratings,” he said, according to the publication. “It would become a depression in television.”
Trump said that he wouldn’t watch the race “and neither would anybody else.”
“I have made Fox and CNN so much money, and MSNBC, so much money,” Trump told the Times.
Chaffetz wants so be Speaker because he thinks he’s good on television. Trump is in the race because it’s entertaining and good for ratings. We’re killing each other by the thousands every year out of sheer terror of the monsters under the bed. And bombing hospitals for good measure. This country is fucking insane.
“there’d be a major collapse of television ratings” Ratings? … what ratings? oh … I must have missed the part where the GOP race for President was turned into a Fox reality show.
Drump’s right again - for the second time today.
Trump is right. In the summer and fall of 2015, he’s the best comedy on TV.
I doubt that’s what he intended.
The Ratings President!
