Trump Gushes Over Fox News’ Trace Gallagher in Late Night Post: ‘We’re Watching a GREAT Guy on Television’

President Donald Trump gushed over Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher in a late-night social media post on Thursday, praising Gallagher’s “highly entertaining, and very interesting” show.

In a Truth Social post made just before midnight, Trump wrote:

I’m on Air Force One, traveling back to Washington from the Great State of Iowa, with many of our wonderful and talented Cabinet Secretaries, including Kristi Noem, Doug Burgum, Brooke Rollins, Lee Zeldin, Matt Whitaker of NATO fame, and others in the Administration like Steve Miller, James Blair, SUPERSTAR Karoline Leavitt, and the legendary, first female Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, etc., including terrific Members of Congress, Ashley Hinson, Zach Nunn, Randy Feenstra, and Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and we’re watching a GREAT guy on Television — His name is Trace Gallagher, of FoxNews, a totally professional newsman who, at the same time, is highly entertaining, and very interesting. He interviewed me once in California. Keep up the GREAT work, Trace!

On his show, Fox News @ Night Thursday, Gallagher tore into “the left” for likening Trump to Hitler even though “the toothbrush moustache remains noticeably absent.”

Trump made his post on the way back from a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, where he angered supporters by proposing an amnesty for illegal workers on farms, “leisure properties,” and in hotels.

“People have worked for a farm, on a farm for 14, 15 years and they get thrown out pretty viciously and we can’t do it. We gotta work with the farmers, and people that have hotels and leisure properties too,” he said while discussing illegal immigration. “I think that that’s going to make a lot of people happy. Now, serious radical right people, who I also happen to like a lot, they may not be quite as happy but they’ll understand. Won’t they? Do you think so?”
