Donald Trump appeared on the Gutfeld! show on FOX News last night and got a hero’s welcome from Greg’s live studio audience. Going on this show was a very smart move by Trump and his campaign.
Greg Gutfeld reaches a massive audience, often getting better ratings than Colbert and Kimmel who have network shows. Gutfeld also reaches a different audience than his FOX News colleagues like Sean Hannity or Laura Ingraham. People watch Gutfeld! to have a good time.
Trump got laughs and applause from the crowd, talking about the debate, the election, Area 51 and more.
From FOX News:
Trump says he regrets not ‘going after’ ABC moderators during debate: ‘I wish I did’Former President Trump expressed regret for not going after ABC News anchors David Muir and Linsey Davis during last week’s presidential debate.”I think my only regret is that I wanted to be elegant, and I didn’t want to go after the anchors. I wish I did, in a way,” Trump said during an appearance Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Gutfeld!””I was very unfairly treated by the anchor. I’m not fans of those guys anymore – and his hair was better five years ago,” Trump quipped, referring to Muir, adding, “That happens with the clock.”…The former president knocked the “fake news” for its fawning praise of Harris’ debate performance, accusing her of producing a “word salad” during her first response after she was asked whether Americans are better off financially now than four years ago.”If I were Winston Churchill- he was a great debater, by the way, and an elegant debater. If I were Winston Churchill, they would say, ‘Well, he was okay, but he wasn’t special tonight,'” Trump said.

The 45th president dodged a second attempt on his life Sunday after Secret Service agents spotted a rifle barrel poking out of some bushes along one of the holes of his Palm Beach, Fla., golf course, as Trump was on a green a few hundred yards away from the sniper.“If they had told you that the shooter was there would you have tried to take him out with your 3 wood?” Gutfeld later asked Trump.“I think so,” Trump responded. “If I knew.”“Actually, the Secret Service did a great job,” he added. “They saw the barrel of a gun – big gun – and it came out through bushes. And how many people would see that?”“He really was exceptional to have done it,” Trump said of the eagle-eyed agent.“We’ve been going through a lot of it,” he said of being the target of would-be assassins in Butler, Pa., and Palm Beach. “We’re getting very good at it. But I don’t want to say that too loudly.”
