data-mm-id=”_3ohtd4n8h”>Donald Trump is speaking to any audience he can find at this point. On Tuesday afternoon he spoke to the Federation of Republican Women in Concord, New Hampshire, where he was talking about The Apprentice, which turned into a rant about CNN.Trump started by saying he got Jeff Zucker his job at CNN, "but it took too long to fire him." He then started talking about his town hall, calling it a "ratings bonanza." Trump says Chris Licht was fired from CNN "because he got great ratings" with the Trump town hall, adding that it was the best ratings they've had in 11 years.Ratings under Licht were CNN's worst in nearly a decade, and the town hall wasn't their best show in 11 years. pic.twitter.com/7ksgnZhsXI— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) June 27, 2023"They fired the head of CNN and he had the highest rated show in 11 years. It's supposed to work the opposite. This world is really screwy. Open borders. No voter ID. Fire the guy who just got great ratings. They fired him because he got great ratings."Chris Licht was not fired because he got great ratings. In fact, ratings were down across the board at CNN. And there were plenty of other issues that led to him being fired in Central Park following an embarrassing profile in The Atlantic. While Trump's CNN townhall did good numbers, it was not their best anything in 11 years. Approximately 3.3 million viewers tuned in to watch Trump call Kaitlan Collins a "nasty person," which was four-times the eyeballs CNN usually gets in the 8 p.m. timeslot. However, the numbers were not as good as a 2016 town hall with Joe Biden that drew 3.4 million viewers. Or any of Trump's town halls on Fox News back in 2016 according to Axios.

Gregg Berhalter is not speaking to Gareth Southgate – or at least Southgate is not speaking to Berhalter – but the United States head coach knows the huge pressure his England counterpart is under.
Berhalter and Southgate have grown close in recent years as they have led their countries respective national teams, with the USMNT boss describing Southgate as a mentor after the two sides were drawn together at the World Cup.
The outcome of that draw has seen the pair drift apart of late, however, ahead of a meeting between the USMNT and England at Al Bayt Stadium on Friday.
I ve been WhatsApping him, but I haven t seen the blue checkmarks, so I don t know what s going on, Berhalter said with a smile on Thursday.

Canada were eliminated from the World Cup after just two matches despite again playing their part in an entertaining encounter as Croatia won 4-1 at Khalifa International Stadium.
Back at the finals after 36 years away, Canada thrilled in their opening game against Belgium, only to be narrowly beaten.
It looked to be a similar story again on Sunday, although Croatia were ultimately deserving winners after two goals from Andrej Kramaric and one each from Marko Livaja and Lovro Majer overturned an early Canada lead.
Alphonso Davies opener was his country s first goal at a World Cup, but still it was a fifth defeat from five on the global stage, ending their hopes of progression as Croatia join Morocco on four points in Group F.

Unai Emery says Aaron Ramsey could be back in action for Arsenal in the next two to three weeks.
Ramsey had to be substituted during the first half as Arsenal knocked Napoli out of the Europa League, booking a semi-final spot, on Thursday.

His progress this season is amazing, Emery told Sky Sports of the Wales international, who joined Arsenal in 2008.
At the beginning [of the season], he was a little confused maybe, because he is i…
Philippe Clement was left puzzled after Rangers conceded a rare penalty in the 3-1 win over Kilmarnock at Ibrox.
The Ibrox club had called for more transparency over VAR’s interpretation of handball after there had been no spot-kick awarded after the ball had come off Celtic defender Alistair Johnston’s hand inside the box in the 2-1 defeat at Parkhead on Saturday.
Rangers were leading 2-0 against fourth-place Killie through goals by Ross McCausland and Abdallah Sima when VAR called for a penalty check after Rory McKenzie’s cross struck the arm of Gers defender John Souttar inside the box.
Referee John Beaton went to his pitchside monitor and then pointed to the spot, with Danny Armstrong giving Jack Butland no chance before Todd Cantwell restored the two-g…

Arsenal s top-four hopes were dented by a 3-0 defeat to an impressive Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Monday.
The Gunners were unable to reclaim their spot in the Premier League top four having been leapfrogged by arch-rivals Tottenham, who defeated Newcastle United 5-1 on Sunday.
They struggled to cope with the intensity of Palace – coached by former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira – and shipped goals to Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew in quick succession in the first half.
After failing to take the chances that came their way, Arsenal were punished by a 74th-minute spot-kick from Wilfried Zaha that ended their hopes of mounting a late comeback.
Arsenal had the lion s share of possession in the opening quarter of an hour but they fel…
Borussia Dortmund s work rate out of possession was key as they went top of the Bundesliga by beating Heidenheim 4-2 on Friday, according to coach Nuri Sahin.
BVB moved onto seven points from their first three league games under Sahin with their victory at Signal Iduna Park, as Karim Adeyemi scored twice in between strikes from Donyell Malen and Emre Can.
