On Fox News the <em>&#8220;Curvy Couch&#8221;<\/em> potatoes of Fox and Friends inadvertently highlighted some of the other unsavory similarities between the two spurned politicians. The segment featured co-host Steve Doocy&#8217;s critical summation of Johnson&#8217;s departure. But with the changing of a few words, the criticism seems to fit Trump even better <em>(video below)<\/em>. Doocy said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;What has happened for years is that the British people did not trust him. He would say one thing and then go do something else. And then pop up in the tabloids. And then with this thing, it&#8217;s a question of integrity. He has refused to go, even though people have been calling for him to hit the pavement for a while, because he would say look, &#8216;I have a mandate. I had an additional 14 million votes from voters who voted for me in 2019. So I&#8217;m gonna stick around.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just substitute <em>&#8220;British&#8221;<\/em> with <em>&#8220;American&#8221;<\/em> and you have a pretty good description of Trump. The American people never trusted him. He lost the popular vote (twice) and never reached even 50% approval at any time during his term. He was a frequent dweller in the tabloids due to his relentless lying, constant infantile outrage, and painfully ignorant remarks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53147\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crybaby Trump Bashes Fox News, \u2018Perverts\u2019 and \u2018RINOS\u2019 Who \u2018Didn\u2019t Have the Guts\u2019 to Impeach Him<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And of course, Trump refused to go. He still denies that he lost and desperately clings to utterly fictional claims of millions of votes that he never got. The Fox fiends continued saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Fifty-three government officials called it quits. The government of the United Kingdom and of England was in dire needs of somebody to run different cabinet positions and things like that. And so, apparently, his assistants were trying to fill the positions as quickly as people would quit. But they couldn&#8217;t. And they were people in charge of security, the courts, technology, education, finance.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many more people <em>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/tracking-turnover-in-the-trump-administration\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">called it quits<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;<\/em> during the Trump administration. And many of those departures were for misconduct in office. Counting only the cabinet officials, in just four years, Trump had five times the turnover of President Obama who served eight years. Consequently, Trump often had <em>&#8220;acting&#8221;<\/em> heads of critical departments such as Defense, State, Justice, Labor, Transportation, Energy, Education, Veterans Affairs, Homeland Security, the CIA, and even his White House Chief of Staff. He did this to partially to avoid having get these officials confirmed by the Senate, and partially because he couldn&#8217;t find people who were remotely qualified. But that wasn&#8217;t all. Fox and Friends co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy added that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;His problems really started with COVID. It wasn&#8217;t clear how he was going to handle COVID. Then he got COVID. He almost died. He said it was really touch and go.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This entire segment could have served as justification for Trump to have resigned or been impeached (which he was, twice) during his occupation of the White House. But while Fox News regards these facts about Johnson to be evidence of his failure, they still fawn over Trump, whose malfeasance was much worse. At least Johnson never fomented a violent insurrection to defile democracy and overthrow the British government.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53591\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Crimes Trump Can (Should) Be Indicted For Now, According to Watergate Prosecutor and Others<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
