“Just saw on the news that Trump is going to give some sort of speech tonight at 9, hope Seal team doesn’t get interrupted,” another expressed their anger even before the episode was interrupted.
“Trump couldn’t wait until after Seal Team?” asked one person.
“So CBS had a broadcast of Trump’s speech which preempted Seal Team,” wrote another viewer. “So what did they do? The speech was 15 minutes so they simply picked up where the program which means we missed the first 15 minutes. Why not just start the program at the beginning and let it flow. :(“
“You mean I have to give up SEAL Team to listen to your frickin’ lies??????” questioned someone else.
“[SEAL Team] nooooooooo why is there a special report right when Seal Team starts!” reacted another viewer.

“hopefully its a VERY short speech,” added another before the episode aired.
“This is a joke he can’t talk over the show [SEAL Team],” added one.

“Your screwing up Chicago Fire and Seal Team!” criticized one person. “Missing 2 of my favorite shows just to hear your lies!”
“Is it going to air in it’s entirety tonight after Trump’s speech is done???” questioned somebody else.
Why not put it online at 9pm EST so people can still see the entire episode at the scheduled time? The show was off for months and now we won’t even get the full episode live.
