Roseanne Barr is reveling in Donald Trump's support for her returning sitcom's impressive debut, which the president says was a cultural and political breakthrough. "It was a thrill to get a congratulatory phone call from The President of The United States of America," Barr tweeted Thursday, two days after ABC's "Roseanne" reboot drew an estimated 18.4 million viewers. He credited producer Mark Burnett, who brought Trump to reality TV in "The Apprentice," for breaking the good news about "Roseanne." Matt Drudge tweeted: "'ROSEANNE' RATINGS BLOWOUT." Laura Ingraham added: "'Roseanne' reboot premieres to strong ratings, begging the question: why has Hollywood been ignoring us for so long?"
