Fox News Host Can’t Get Behind Trump’s Walk Of Fame | EUROtoday

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade isn’t a fan of the “Presidential Walk of Fame,” President Donald Trump’s newest controversial addition to the White House.

The Walk of Fame was put in alongside the West Wing colonnade outdoors the Oval Office earlier this yr. This week, the portraits of Trump’s predecessors ― together with former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton ― got bronze plaques with commentary written within the fashion of Trump’s social media ramblings.

The whole show doesn’t sit nicely with Kilmeade, who deemed it an instance of Trump’s “trolling” habits that can simply be reversed by one of many president’s successors.

“I’m not for this at all,” he mentioned throughout Thursday’s installment of Fox’s “The Five” roundtable. “So they’re just going to mock President Trump or put something on his plaque.”

He went on to notice: “If he is going to do it, outdoors, just do it right, just put the profiles up there. I am not for dispelling or saying anything bad. Plus a lot of presidents that people think were bad, like Ulysses S. Grant, ended up being looked at as great. I don’t think it’s going to happen with Joe Biden, but I am not for the trolling.”

Kilmeade was referring particularly to the Walk of Fame descriptions of Democratic presidents, which comprise petty insults. Obama, as an example, is described as “one of the most divisive political figures in American history,” whereas Clinton’s plaque features a line about his spouse, Hillary Clinton, having “lost the presidency to President Donald J. Trump!”

As for former President Joe Biden, who’s depicted by the picture of an autopen machine in lieu of a portrait, the label deems him “the worst President in American history.”

On the flip facet, many Republican presidents are summarized positively. The plaque beneath former President Ronald Reagan declares that “he was a fan of President Donald J. Trump before President Trump’s historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!”

Many of Kilmeade’s “The Five” co-hosts, nonetheless, didn’t appear to share his view of the president’s ostentatious strategy.

“If you think this is repulsive, what would you call what Bill Clinton did in there?” Jesse Watters mentioned, alluding to Clinton’s extramarital relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. “It’s his house for now. For the next three years ― maybe more. And so he can decorate it any way he wants.”
