People Are Stunned By Fox News Guest’s Head-Spinning Claim About Donald Trump
Critics responded to a Fox News guest’s claim about Donald Trump with a collective “Huh?”
The “Outnumbered” panel on Monday fawned over what they described as the former president’s “measured” and “firm” response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that Colorado must include him on its 2024 presidential primary ballot.
“So good,” television personality Kym Douglas first said of Trump, who argued that voters, not a court, should decide who should be president.
Then she added, “What I love about him, he never plays the victim. He was like, ‘Keep weaponizing me. I just keep winning.’ Never plays the victim. I thought he was super presidential today.”
The claim confused many, seeing how Trump’s attempt to portray himself as a political martyr is actually one of his main campaign tactics as he closes in on the Republican presidential nomination.
Critics duly noted that and more on X, formerly Twitter:

We may have reached new levels in Fox News' sycophancy towards Trump.
In this segment alone, you have one host literally compare Trump to God while another one says Trump "never plays the victim."
Meanwhile, there are a bunch of "preach" and "drop the mic" shouts throughout. pic.twitter.com/bIvkGgpank— Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona) March 4, 2024
This segment is beyond stupid. @HARRISFAULKNER literally lets a panelist lie by saying Trump never plays the victim? @FoxNews is literally the communications arm of the @GOP. https://t.co/z6LNQeQBF7
