<\/a><\/p>\nOn Thursday morning Trump called in to Fox News to frantically unravel<\/a><\/strong> in a half hour interview – or more accurately, a frothing tantrum – with his fawning Fox and Friends. In the course of the spectacle, Trump admitted that he lied about how long he was Russia; threw his lawyer, Michael Cohen, under a freight train; contradicted his prior claim that he knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels affair; threatened to interfere with Justice Department activities and personnel; declared James Comey guilty of something or other; and lashed out at Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and, of course, the media. He was so deranged that the hosts actually struggled to interrupt his extended outburst and eventually cut him off.<\/p>\n The consensus reaction to the segment from across the media was that Trump was “unhinged,” “shocking,” “bonkers,” “bizarre,” “jaw-dropping,” “unwieldy,” “crazy,” “surreal.” <\/em> And those were the more diplomatic descriptions. It was so awful that retired Four Star US Army General Barry McCaffrey tweeted<\/a><\/strong> that he is “Worried about health of Pres Trump.”<\/em> Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ attorney, said that “the President should appear on Fox and Friends every morning.”<\/em> And he just might get his wish.<\/p>\n Trump’s White House counselor, Kellyanne Conway, visited Fox and Friends on Friday morning and the subject of Trump’s appearance the day before naturally came up. Ordinarily it wouldn’t be surprising for a paid shill to fiercely defend the President, but under these circumstances it might have been better to let the memory of this public breakdown subside. Instead, Conway doubled down in a bigly way. After conceding that Trump is “a tough act to follow with yesterday’s interview,”<\/em> the creator of “alternate facts”<\/em> proceeded directly to her alternate universe (video below):<\/p>\n Conway:<\/strong> The president had a great time bringing his case directly to the American people, as he does on social media and in these bilateral Q & A\u2019s certainly at the south lawn, and in the press pool sprays, and with other interviews. And the president has said that he would like to, perhaps, come once a month and as news breaks. Indeed. Trump did have a weekly call-in segment on Fox and Friends, prior to seeking the presidency, called \u201cMondays with Trump.\u201d<\/em> It was the launching pad that Fox News provided for Trump’s future political campaign. But after Thursday’s debacle, it’s unfathomable how anyone could suggest that they would want to “replicate”<\/em> that epic embarrassment. Only in Trump World could someone get a pie in the face, slip on a banana peel, into a pile of manure, with their pants falling down, and think “Gee, we should do this once a month.”<\/em><\/p>\n Also during Trump’s interview, he gave himself an A+ for his performance in office. It’s that sort of self-delusion that makes it possible for him and his disciples to pretend that a nationally broadcast catastrophe was a huge PR success. But if he is determined to have a regular gig at Fox again, he should know that there’s a lot of support for him to do that – among Democrats. Go for it, Donnie.<\/p>\n How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:
\nDoocy:<\/strong> Wait. Come to Fox and Friends once a month? (Giggling and clapping) WOW!
\nKilmeade:<\/strong> Alright. Fantastic. That’d be great.
\nConway:<\/strong> He said he’d like to replicate that on pretty much a monthly basis. And you know, back in the private sector he was on every week. Every Monday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
