Robert Kraft praises Donald Trump and Rupert Murdoch in Fox News interview

Kraft called the Fox News founder "one of the most outstanding human beings on the planet."

However, Fox host Brian Kilmeade apparently wanted to hear more about Trump, asking Kraft if he had recently spoken with or gotten any advice from the president.

“I have a lot of people who give me advice, and he’s been very supportive and I know he’s working very hard to serve the best interests of the country,” the Brookline native responded.

Kraft has described Trump as a “very close” friend with whom he’s had a relationship with for more than two decades. In 2016, the Patriots owner told The Boston Globe that Trump “went above and beyond to assist me through the most difficult time in my life” following the death of his wife, Myra, in 2011. He even gave Trump a Super Bowl LI ring.
