How Fox & Friends Spun Trump’s Massive Losses

May 8, 2019 · 11:49 am ET · Leave a Comment

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt said on Fox & Friends that the New York Times report showing President Trump losing $1.2 billion over ten years was “pretty impressive” and showed how much he had accomplished.

Said Earhardt: “If anything, you read this and you’re like, wow, it’s pretty impressive, all the things that he’s done in his life. It’s beyond what most of us could ever achieve.”

Added co-host Brian Kilmeade: “I can’t imagine having that much money and spending that much money and being in debt. For him, it makes sense, he’s buying now, building it up because he had confidence… That’s what he has done through his entire life.”
