Donald Trump, who was lampooned on the recent Emmy Awards show, said that he was “saddened” by the show’s poor ratings.
He tweeted:
I was saddened to see how bad the ratings were on the Emmys last night – the worst ever. Smartest people of them all are the "DEPLORABLES."

The show, however, raked in 11.4 million viewers, compared to last year’s 11.3 million.
It’s not the first time that Trump has slammed the Emmys, it had mostly to do with his reality television show – The Apprentice not winning the award.
“@maathewdavis: @realDonaldTrump Emmys are a joke. the donald needs to fix them like he did with the Miss Universe pageant.”

Emmys telecast is way down & lowest telecast on record among young adults. Emmys have no credibility-Should have nominated Apprentice again!

Kellyanne Conway, advisor to Trump, appeared on Fox and Friends TV Show, and criticised the behaviour of those present on the show.
“They want you to stick to your knitting. They want you to stick to the stuff that other people write for you,” she said, reported Variety.
Conway was appreciative of Sean Spicer’s cameo at the awards ceremony, however.
“This is something that folks in Hollywood often lack — which is introspection and good humor,” Conway said of Spicer.
