Instead of opting\u200c for a traditional stage appearance, Trump released a\u2064 prerecorded 46-minute interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson on X, the platform\u2063 formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Despite criticism from \u2063Trump&#8217;s competitors,\u2062 his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/savanah-hernandez-big-tech-keeps-trying-to-destroy-my-career-but-i-am-relentless\/\" title=\"Savanah Hernandez: Big Tech Keeps Trying To Destroy My Career, But I Am Relentless\">interview garnered<\/a> an astonishing number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/elon-musk-roasts-the-lord-of-the-rings-the-rings-of-power-tolkien-is-turning-in-his-grave\/\" title=\"Elon Musk Roasts \"The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power\": \u201cTolkien Is Turning In His Grave\u201d\">views compared<\/a> to other political events.

However, \u2062it&#8217;s important to note that\u200b these metrics only indicate how many times\u2063 the post appeared\u200d in\u2064 users&#8217; news feeds, not necessarily how many\u200d people watched \u2063or completed the video.<\/p>\n<p>This interview has\u2062 brought a surge of attention to\u200d Carlson, surpassing previous metrics. When Carlson initially announced the \u2064exclusive release\u200d of the interview on X, \u2063it received over 137.7 million tweet views, but only 28.9 million video views. Subsequent\u200c episodes of the show \u2062experienced a decline in traffic, with the eighth \u200depisode, featuring a \u200dtransgender\u2063 man, receiving just 10.6 million tweet views and 3.8 \u2063million video views.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that X <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/in-response-to-texas-abortion-law-dating-app-creates-pro-choice-badge-option\/\" title=\"In Response To Texas Abortion Law, Dating App Creates \u2018Pro-Choice\u2019 Badge Option\">previously allowed users<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-tucker-carlson-counter-debate-video-viewed-more-than-170-million-times-in-12-hours\/\" title=\"Trump-Tucker Carlson counter-debate video goes viral with 170M+ views in 12 hours.\">track video views independently<\/a>, but this\u2063 feature was removed from most versions of the platform \u2064in May.<\/p>\n<p>Out\u2062 of all Carlson&#8217;s\u200d interviews, the one with influencer\u2063 Andrew\u2063 Tate\u200b garnered \u200dthe\u200b most views, reaching\u200c an impressive \u2062107 million.<\/p>\n<p>During his appearance on Carlson&#8217;s show, Trump\u200d took the opportunity to criticize\u2063 his \u200dopponents in \u2064the 2024\u2062 campaign, \u200breferring to former New \u2064Jersey Gov.
