Fox’s Kilmeade Asks Trump about His ‘Natural Relationship with Blue-Collar Workers’

Fox & Friends, which has single-handedly propped up Donald Trump’s as-of-yet non-existent 2016 presidential campaign, aired Thursday morning a four-minute faux-advertisement for the real estate mogul, in which the questions approached the IRL version of “Mr. Burns: your campaign seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?”

“You seem to have this natural relationship with the blue collar worker,” Brian Kilmeade observed, mostly because people were yelling “Trump” as a celebrity walked down the street.

“The people that like me the best are the middle class and poor people,” Trump said. “The rich hate me. I think it’s because they’re jealous. They want to be famous.”

At one point Trump half-joked that he kept a staff of people waiting outside his elevator to cheer every time he exited. Watch below, via Fox News:
