Jesse Watters Thanks Trump for Being a De Facto ‘Fox News Producer’

Fox News host Jesse Watters thanked President Donald Trump for essentially acting as a “Fox News producer” because of the content Trump creates.

On Wednesday, the president held an “Antifa roundtable” at the White House, where he reiterated his claim that a group of far-left activists is conspiring to wreak havoc in U.S. cities. The meeting came amid reporting that Trump is considering invoking the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to deploy active-duty soldiers to conduct law enforcement operations in the U.S.

Shortly afterward on The Five, Martha MacCallum asked Watters about the matter.

“So, Jesse, one of the things that the president’s considering is the Insurrection Act because a federal judge in Portland has blocked his ability to go at this the way he wants to,” she said. “Do you think we’re gonna see the Insurrection Act employed in order to get more National Guard to these places?”

“I wish we didn’t have to see it,” Watters replied. “But Democrats are not doing their job, so we might have to see it.”

He then pivoted to Trump as the content-creator-in-chief.

“It is funny to watch Trump be a Fox News producer,” Watters continued. “We wake up in the morning, and we look at the news, and you see Trump is holding an Antifa roundtable at the White House. And you just say, ‘Thank you. Thank you, Donald Trump. This is the best.’ We know all of these reporters that are around this roundtable. Nick Sortor, [Katie] Daviscourt, Andy Ngo. They’re, like, guests on our shows. The mainstream media’s probably never heard of any of these people, and this is why this is such great programming.”
