Trump Thanks Journalist For Holding Honest Interview

Former President Donald Trump recently commended Fox News anchor Bret Baier for his interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, describing it as “tough but fair.” Trump shared his praise on social media, highlighting Baier’s skill in exposing Harris’s shortcomings.

“Great job by Bret Baier in his interview with Kamala Harris,” Trump stated. “She has an undeniable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, so severe that she can hardly discuss any topic without bringing me into it.” Trump went on to label Harris as “the worst Vice President in history,” and applauded Baier for conducting an interview that clearly demonstrated her incompetence.

While Trump has frequently criticized Fox News over its coverage of him, he found Baier’s interview refreshing. He acknowledged that it was “wise” of Harris to agree to appear on a platform known for its rigorous questioning, especially given Baier’s reputation for being “Fair & Balanced,” even if he sometimes leans soft on those in the left-wing elite circles.

The former president’s relationship with Fox has been complex, as he has recently directed some sharp criticisms towards the network and its anchors, including Baier. Trump even mentioned that he wouldn’t participate in a debate moderated by Baier, reflecting a growing tension.

Despite these tensions, Trump has not shied away from recognizing quality journalism when he sees it. His last interview with Baier took place the previous summer, where the anchor challenged him on several contentious issues, including claims regarding the 2020 election and the handling of classified documents.

Trump’s remarks on Baier’s interview underscore the importance of tough questioning in political discourse, especially when it comes to holding leaders accountable. His comments resonate with Republican audiences who value transparency and straightforwardness in media coverage, particularly in an era where political narratives often seem distorted.
