Trump made that side comment in his disastrous appearance before the cameras today.
Why did he mention them by name?
Because he wants to know that they are still on his side. He needs them to cover for him at this time. He wants them to know that he needs them.
He's watching them...

(4,845 posts)1. Yup. It's kinda like the whole "Russia, if you are listening" thing.
He is sending signals to his favorite station that he is watching and will mention them positively if they cover for him.

(6,351 posts)2. I believe he said "Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Tucker and Laura"...
First name basis. And he mentioned some other woman in front of those saying "she's really great, love her".
subtle difference but that first name only thing was weird, like they're risen to the single name only club at Trump's house.
And yeah, subtle "I got my eye on you, so don't screw this up" message.
