Fake news?
Trump reportedly puts a Fox Business host on speakerphone during meetings in the Oval Office
Trump reportedly puts a Fox Business host on speakerphone during meetings in the Oval Office
President Donald Trump makes no secret of his approval for Fox Business and distaste for other outlets like CNN and MSNBC, but a new report says he actually calls a TV personality on the conservative network to have them participate in meetings in the Oval Office.
Trump reportedly calls Fox Business host Lou Dobbs to gossip and ask advice, and will even put him on speakerphone during White House conversations on "some of the administration's more sensitive discussions," The Daily Beast reports.
Dobbs holds similar views to Trump on immigration and other key issues, and has often defended the president against his critics, conservatives and otherwise.
"He cherishes Lou," The Daily Beast quoted a senior White House official as saying. During Trump's tax reform push, he reportedly insisted on speaking to Dobbs, and remarked after hanging up "love Lou."
