The New York Times reports that Trump phoned Roseanne Barr congratulating her on the incredible ratings, which were upwards of 18 million viewers Tuesday night.

After the phone call, she called Good Morning America to talk about what they said.

“It was pretty exciting, I’ll tell you that much,” she said. “They said, ‘Hold please for the President of the United States of America’ and that’s about the most exciting thing ever. It was very sweet of him to congratulate us.”

She added, “He really understands ratings and how they measure things and that’s been an interest of mine for a long time too.”

“The idea that people can agree to disagree is kinda missing from everything,” she said. “Conflict resolution and agreeing to disagree are important things. That’s what we need to do as a country — figure out what we don’t like and talk to each other and discuss how we’re going to get it changed or fixed. I hope [the show] opens up civil conversation between people and not just mud slinging. We need to be more civilized than that.”
