Trump Gushes Over Fox Host During Flood Disaster Visit: ‘Show Is A Big Success!’

President Donald Trump gushed to Fox News host Will Cain about his show’s ratings and success after Cain spent time thanking Trump for showing up to disaster zones.

Trump appeared on Friday’s edition of Fox News Channel’s The Will Cain Show during his trip to tour flood damage in Texas, during which Cain alluded to Trump’s visit to another disaster — the East Palestine train crash that resulted in an environmental catastrophe, but no fatalities.

Trump congratulated himself for visiting the community — whose name he couldn’t quite place — and stopped to praise Cain:

CAIN: Not every president has visited disaster zones and been here in touch with ordinary Americans. Why is it important to you to show up in Texas?

TRUMP: Well, I showed up in Ohio, and it was a great thing to do. And I made permanent friends in Ohio in that little community that had — remember the train going through, and it was a mess. It was a mess.

And other people didn’t show up for like a year-and-a-half. And, frankly, I made real friends there. We did a good job. We helped them out. And we’re going to help this community too. We’re going to help this community too.

They love each other. I just left this group of people. They just love each other. They love the community. And they’re going to rebuild. They want to rebuild. I didn’t hear one person — we spoke to a lot of people. Didn’t hear one person that wants to leave. And some lost a daughter, two daughters even.

And, boy, it’s a tough — it’s a tough thing that they’re going through. But it’s an amazing community. I like to do it. I think I have an obligation. I think, as president, I really have an obligation to do it. I have done it many times, but this is as bad as I have seen.

CAIN: I think you’re going to end up with a lot of friends in Texas. You already have a lot of friends in Texas.

TRUMP: Yes.

CAIN: But you will end up with more here in Texas.

TRUMP: Texas has been great. And you have been great, and you have been doing very well, I have to say.

If I can interject, he’s got very high ratings. His show is a big success, so we will at least say that.

CAIN: Well, thank you, Mr. President.
