Lou Dobbs: Trump one of the most loved and respected presidents in history.

Anyone wanting to know how a news organization gets into Trump’s good graces should watch the interview the president conducted with Lou Dobbs of the Fox Business Network. Although the interview lasted a full 25 minutes, Dobbs failed to ask a single substantive question. Instead, the conversation was an exercise in flattery. And while that may have soothed the president’s ego, Dobbs failed to conduct the kind of intellectual stress test from which a skilled politician may emerge stronger, more certain of his or her agenda.

There was little stress on Wednesday night.

“You have accomplished so much,” Dobbs said at the opening of the interview.

.....

Trump indeed made clear his affection for the network. “Your show is fantastic,” Trump said, telling Dobbs that he watches his nightly program “absolutely almost all the time.”

Dobbs returned the compliment, calling Trump “one of the most loved and respected” presidents “in history.”

“one of the most loved and respected”

You are fucking kidding?

He is truly living in the same fantasy land as the occupant of the Whiter House.

Hey Lou, you butt-kissing asshole, open up a newspaper and look at the recent polls.
Even the Fox Poll this morning has him plummeting, especially with Independents.

And it consists entirely of softball, glowing questions from state media.

No different here. He's just following in his mentor's footsteps.

Don't suck up on national TV. It's offensive to make anyone think that you might be sincere. Even to get in his foolish good graces it's harmful to the public.
