Trump denies he takes orders from Sean Hannity

But he doesn’t take orders from it, he insists.

After announcing his decision to declare a national emergency to procure $6.5 billion in funds not allocated by Congress for a wall on the U.S. border with Mexico, President Trump praised many of the giants of right-wing media, including Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson.

Asked about reports that conservative talk show hosts have helped shape his views on declaring a national emergency, the president replied that he makes his own decisions.

“I would talk about it. Look, Sean Hannity has been a terrific, terrific supporter of what I do, not of me. If I change my views, he wouldn’t be with me.”

Tuesday, on his program on Fox News, Hannity called for Trump to do exactly what he did Friday:

“The important third step needs to happen simultaneously,” Hannity explained to his audience about Trump’s decision on whether to sign off on a spending bill to keep the federal government open. “And that would be the president would need to declare a national emergency.”
