They are there to prop up every proposal, commentary, and attack that he throws out from Twitter, his cult rallies, or his ego-salving visits with his Fox friends. Regardless of the obvious falsity of whatever he is peddling, Fox treats it as if it&#8217;s gospel. Likewise, the network will steadfastly defend Trump from any and all criticism. They will malign Democrats, Republicans, or anyone else who dares to disagree with Dear Leader.<\/p>\n<p>For his part, Trump is greatly appreciative for that blind, unflinching support. He is also dependent on it. Which may explain why he is constantly returning the favor by exalting Fox News and their stable of Trump-fluffers. In the past year he has posted dozens of tweets exhorting his Deplorables to watch Fox.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, News Corpse has compiled some of the prime examples of this naked hucksterism. Keep in mind that this list does not include the innumerable instances when Trump simply cited something complimentary that was said about him by Fox&#8217;s slobbering hosts or quoted some sycophantic guest. These are just a few of the times that Trump explicitly directed his disciples to tune-in to his State TV network and enjoy the televised knob-polishing <em>(The dates link to Trump&#8217;s tweets, for those with stomachs strong enough to visit his Twitter page)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump\/status\/1127889348874113024\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">May 13, 2019<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; Thank you @foxandfriends, great show this morning and congratulations on your number one (by far) rating.
