Throughout the 2020 presidential campaign, Donald Trump has affirmed his cowardly approach to the media. The vast majority of his interviews have been reserved for the Fox News Trump-fluffers that he knows will be gentle with him. He has virtually sealed himself in a Fox News bunker<\/a><\/strong>. But despite his tedious and impotent repetition of Stalinist inspired catch phrases like “fake news”<\/em> and “the media is the enemy of the people,”<\/em> Trump, as he recently admitted, spends hours watching Fox every day<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Donald<\/p>\n

Trump’s reliance on glassy-eyed disciples like Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Lou Dobbs, and Maria Bartiromo, is further evidence of the cult-like nature of his following. And no one can plausibly deny that Fox News isn’t fulfilling its role as Trump’s Ministry of Disinformation. It’s the same sort of mutually beneficial relationship that parasites enjoy with their willing hosts.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday morning Trump visited once again with the network’s “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends. The “interview”<\/em> was typical of the slobbering tongue baths that Trump is accustomed to on the network. The adoring hosts smiled vacantly as Trump accused Joe Biden of using drugs during previous debates and public appearances. They declined to follow up after he asserted that the governor of Nevada is going to rig the ballots in his state. They fawned over his phony “peace”<\/em> agreement that entirely excluded the Palestinians. They valiantly kept straight faces when Trump blamed wildfires on “exploding trees.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However, there was a moment of melodrama when Trump seemed to reveal a secret agreement that he made with his Fox News benefactors. It went something like this…<\/p>\n

Trump:<\/strong> It’s good to be here. It’s great to be with my friends. I think we’re gonna do this, we’ve agreed to do it once a week in the morning, and I look forward to it. Like the old days.
\nSteve Doocy:<\/strong> I haven’t heard that. Well, that’s an exclusive.right there.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
