‘Trump & Friends’

Like that one friend who invites themselves to your house and then never goes away, US President Donald Trump stunned the hosts of the Fox News program “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday by announcing that he would be appearing on the show every week until Election Day.

Trump’s entitled remark seemed to stun the morning news hosts, particularly Steve Doocy, as he responded unfavorably to the president by saying that "Fox has not committed" to having Trump on-air so often.

Donald Trump: "We're gonna [call into Fox & Friends] every week. Every Monday I think they said."

Brian Kilmeade: "Sounds good."

The moment was made even more awkward when Trump did not respond to Doocy's comment.

"All right. Donald Trump, President of the United States. He’s now gone to talk to [Fox News White House correspondent] John Roberts, maybe," the Fox host added as the interview abruptly ended with the commander-in-chief’s graceless signoff.
