After Lapdog Interview, Trump Ups Kilmeade Rating From ‘Six’ To ‘Approaching Nine Territory’

Posted by Ellen -7859.80pc on June 03, 2020 · Flag

After his promotion on the Trump sycophancy scale to “approaching nine territory,” Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade replied, “There’s always room for improvement,” and called Trump a "good coach."

In my last post, I noted how Kilmeade offered Trump a platform to repeat his baseless, debunked murder accusation against Joe Scarborough, while pretending to ask a hard question.

In the course of responding, Trump congratulated himself for Fox & Friends' ratings (a show Kilmeade cohosts) and then fished for compliments.

KILMEADE: Lastly, I know you've been taking aim at Joe Scarborough and Chris Cuomo. Why put them in your crosshairs when there's so many other huge problems out there?

TRUMP: I just do it. People hit me. I hit back. I fight. I've always felt that about Scarborough -- I had a lot of people in Florida felt he got away with murder -- I think. 

So I've always felt that -- that's not an uncommon story -- maybe you'll look at it. So we don't have to waste time on it, but I've always felt that he got away with murder. That was my feeling -- a very strong feeling, and I do feel it.

As far as Chris Cuomo -- no, I just report on his ratings. His ratings are terrible. Unlike your ratings at Fox and Friends where you're doing fantastically well. 

Thank you, Mr. President. I think I help you a lot, but you have three great people including you.

You used to be a six then you got to be a seven or eight. And now you're approaching the nine territory, but those other two are great.  

Anyone with a drop of journalistic integrity would have replied that he’s just doing his job, not looking for anyone to pat him on the back. But not Kilmeade.

KILMEADE: Thanks. I'm just -- there's always room for improvement. And that's what a good coach does -- you leave room for improvement. 

You can listen to the entire interview below, from Fox News Radio’s June 3, 2020 Brian Kilmeade Show.

Kilmeade didn’t do much talking but it sounded like he had something in his mouth. 😧
