for the past several weeks, Donald Trump has virtually abandoned his campaign to avoid prison …er… his campaign for president. He has scaled down his public appearances, limiting the number of attendees to a few hard core cult disciples and members of the MAGA media. His television interviews have been conducted mainly by phone.<\/p>\n

Either Trump is afraid to go out in public after his “ear death”<\/em> experience in July. Or he is just too old and physically debilitated to keep up a normal campaign schedule. So now he just does these interviews in his pajamas at his Palm Beach hotel\/home. His retreat into his Mar-a-Lago bunker may also be due to his suffering from depression as a result of having fallen behind Kamala Harris in most polls since the torch was passed to her by President Biden.<\/p>\n

On Thursday morning Trump called in to Fox News for another tele-fluffing by the “Curvy Couch”<\/em> potatoes at Fox and Friends. These segments are usually nothing more than free advertising and in-kind campaign contributions that Fox should be required to report to the Federal Election Commission. And this one was no exception, except for one small portion wherein Fox’s Brian Kilmeade went rogue with something that Fox News never does: A Fact Check.<\/p>\n

Trump:<\/strong> Biden sent ‘Comrade’ Kamala to see Putin in Russia three days before the attack. She went, she said, she gave her case. He attacked three days later. He attacked three days later. He laughed at her. He thought she was a joke.
\nKilmeade:<\/strong> Just as a quick clarification, we don\u2019t have confirmation that the Vice-President went to Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin. I know that she went over to Europe right before the incursion when Russia invaded Ukraine. And it’s a war that’s still going on right now.
\nAinsley Earhardt:<\/strong> I’ve heard that said a lot. You don’t have confirmation that that’s true?
\nKilmeade:<\/strong> No I don’t know if the Vice-President ever met Vladimir Putin.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
