Media Scrambles as Trump Win Boosts Ratings, Hollywood Stays Put

In the afterglow of Donald Trump’s victory in the recent presidential election, news outlets are practically breaking their own necks to dive deeper into the revelations and reactions surrounding it. The relentless media coverage seems to suggest that Trump’s win is the gift that keeps on giving, or at least keeps ratings up. Over the last 24 hours, headlines have ranged from speculations on global ramifications to musings about Hollywood’s elite and their notorious threat of abandoning the country should Trump prevail.

Fox News has humorously pointed out the irony in the Hollywood heavyweights who promised to leave the U.S. if Trump won — speculation confirmed that they are all bluster with no intention to walk the talk. Meanwhile, The Washington Post hints that the Russians are apparently dusting off their party hats, envisioning a new global order under Trump’s reign. The financial implications are buzzing, too: CNBC is privy to how Elon Musk may stand to benefit financially from Trump’s ascension. Meanwhile, The New York Times sounds a warning bell, suggesting that this new “Trump’s America” symbolizes a drastic cultural shift for the country.

The doom and gloom brigade — represented gallantly by outlets like MSNBC and CNN — are weighing in on the supposed chaos that Trump’s presidency could unleash across the globe. Despite their dire predictions, the fact remains that Trump didn’t lift a finger to implicate any dubious tactics in this election, because a win like this didn’t need any help. Additionally, there are reports of considerable viewership on networks such as Fox News, where ratings soared beyond the combined viewership of ABC, NBC, CBS, and several cable news networks. 

 

While the election results left some college students feeling more “traumatized” than others, the University of Washington, always a beacon of progressive responses, decided to hold a self-help workshop aimed at soothing the broken spirits of those shaken by the Trump victory. Hosting a “relaxation room” and including the innovative addition of a petting zoo might be charming to some, but it raises the question—what kind of “higher learning” is happening if students require cuddling furry creatures post-election? Perhaps instead of petting zoos, they should focus on their academic responsibilities.

In the realm of government, Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania has emerged as a shining example of gratitude and commitment. His victory statement highlighted thanks to God, family, and loyal supporters, emphasizing a return to core American values. Perry’s military background as a retired brigadier general showcases a dedication to service, and his excitement to assist in Trump’s agenda is palpable. Unlike many of his counterparts who dwell on ideology from afar, Perry seems ready to roll up his sleeves for the America First cause.

On a lighter note, while the election drama unfolded, shoppers are preparing for a grand winter holiday season. According to the National Retail Federation, the average consumer is expected to spend a record $902 this year, marking a healthy increase from previous years. This surge in spending signals that despite political upheaval, Americans continue to prioritize joy and family during the holidays. With bulk spending directed toward gifts and food, the indication is clear — when it comes to celebrating the season, Americans prefer putting their money where their heart is, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office.
