Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Donald Trump And Barack Obama Spar Over Cheesecake Factory

The designer isn't convinced. In Inside Edition's most-watched new upload of the week, former Cheesecake Factory design executive Rick McCormack considers the restaurant's resemblance to Donald Trump's White House decor: "To me, there's no comparison. They're completely different."

The assignment begins with Barack Obama's rally joke that Trump has the White House looking like "Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory." Trump responds by calling Obama a lousy president, and the report follows the remark through talk shows and Jimmy Kimmel's monologue before Steven Fabian takes it into a restaurant in Wayne, New Jersey. There, the camera examines the interior before returning to the Oval Office's gold decoration.

"Donald Trump And Barack Obama Spar Over Cheesecake Factory" has drawn roughly 140,000 views. It was the biggest of Inside Edition's 15 new uploads, though the channel's strongest viewing momentum has since moved to more serious reporting.

A report about parents seeking answers after their daughter fatally choked at elementary school currently draws the most daily views. Jim Moret's coverage of a glass door shattering on a salon employee in Katy, Texas, is another busy upload, followed by a mother's account of her toddler being found breathing after being declared dead.

Across the channel, the week brought about 12 million views while subscribers remained unchanged. Daily viewing is now less than half its usual level. CNN is having a busier-than-usual day among fellow broadcasters; Inside Edition's week instead pairs a restaurant-design detour with safety incidents and families seeking answers.
