A host on President Donald Trump’s favorite morning news show, Fox & Friends,threw shade Friday at the president's proudest achievement. Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade made the comment Friday after co-host Ainsley Earhart said, “He said, ‘best economy in his life,’” repeating a restaurant patron’s words to their colleague Steve Doocy in Florida. “That’s pretty strong!” Earhart said. “Probably true,” Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth said. “So far, it seems, except for the $21 trillion in debt,” Kilmeade said. “That kind of bothers me.” Others on the show were quick to play down Kilmeade’s remark. “Well that’s a whole thing,” Hegseth said. “You can only take care of one thing at a time, Brian.” Earhart then joked, “What’s one more trillion? A number is so big we can’t even conceptualize it.” The news show then moved on to a story about a Democratic intern who was arrested and then fired for allegedly disclosing the private contact information of several Republican senators. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMtinyKAPwA Trump has regularly tweeted out comments while watching Fox & Friends and has often praised the show. “Was @foxandfriends just named the most influential show in news? You deserve it - three great people!” Trump tweeted in December. “The many Fake News Hate Shows should study your formula for success!”
