While his days on "The Celebrity Apprentice" are behind him, President Donald Trump is still paying close attention to his television ratings.

"Wow, television ratings just out: 31 million people watched the Inauguration, 11 million more than the very good ratings from 4 years ago," the former reality-television star posted to Twitter on Sunday morning, referring to the second time Barack Obama took the oath of office upon his re-election.
