Fox News Host’s ‘Totally Real’ Description Of Donald Trump Has People Laughing
Fox News’ Emily Compagno drew mockery for her fawning description of former President Donald Trump.
On Monday’s broadcast of “Outnumbered,” Compagno hailed Trump’s campaign speech in Las Vegas in which the presumptive GOP presidential nominee rambled about sharks and electrocution, claimed insurrectionists who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, are “warriors” and more.
Oh, and he also ranted about a failing teleprompter and talked about stiffing the contractors who’d set it up.
Compagno, though, said it made Trump look like a “totally real, normal American.”
He handled the teleprompter glitch with “aplomb,” she added.
The Fox show’s panel discussed a montage of President Joe Biden’s gaffes before Compagno said the “bottom line” of “that moment by Trump” is that “it showed us who he is.”
“He’s a normal, average American,” she added of Trump, who was convicted in his hush money trial. He will be sentenced on July 11.
Trump “did great without the teleprompter,” she continued, claiming that media coverage of Biden’s flubs is “state TV.”
Critics firmly disagreed:

I’m Canadian, so maybe I’m just not familiar with typical American discourse, but does a normal average American often (ever?) ramble on about batteries in boats and sharks in connection to each other?

He came across as a rambling lunatic. 🙄

He told his supporters he didn't care if they died as long as they vote for him. What in the actual french fried fuck is wrong with you people?

Apparently Compagno thinks trump gives a great speech just like average Americans 😂

Oh, the delusion! Yep, normal everyday Americans often talk about options of dying by sharks or electrocution from a battery after your boat capsizes.🤪
Compagno neglected the REST. trump looked into the crowd and said "I don't really care about you, I care about your vote"!— rose petal (@rosepet19239091) June 10, 2024
Huh, … then explain the bit about electric boats, water and sharks?
