Donald Trump said in an interview aired Sunday that “a lot of people” thought former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes would run his campaign.
Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that, at first, he didn’t want to comment on Ailes. Ailes announced he was leaving Fox last week amid sexual harassment allegations.
“But he’s been a friend of mine for a long time. And I can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how much he’s helped them. And even recently. And when they write books that are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him,” Trump said.
“And now all of a sudden they’re saying these horrible things about him. It’s very sad. Because he’s a very good person. I’ve always found him to be just a very, very good person,” Trump continued. “And by the way, a very, very talented person. Look what he’s done. So I feel very badly. But a lot of people are thinking he’s going to run my campaign.”
Thelma and Louise. Right over the cliff. Good riddance.
Needy, Donald. Not a good look for you.
Mad as a hatter. Ailes was the least of it. Here’s what the Guardian reported:
Lord his ‘word salad’ is so pathetic. What I did notice on MTP is when Trump starts in with ‘excuse me, excuse me’ you know he really means ‘Excuse me, I’m getting ready to lie here so shut up!’…
Now we know what ails Trump. Pun intended.
