President Trump Calls Greg Gutfeld Mid-Show, Crowd Goes Wild
President Donald Trump didn’t wait long before responding to sharp criticisms of his record on Thursday night, calling into Fox News and telling host Greg Gutfeld about all the failures he claims Vice President Kamala Harris failed to mention in her acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Gutfeld, who hosts the network’s late-night program from 10 to 11 p.m. ET, grabbed his cell phone and turned on the speaker as President Trump panned Harris’s promises to institute price controls and insistence that the economy has done better under President Joe Biden than him. “Hey Mr. President, I’m live now! Say hello to my audience,” Gutfeld said as the studio roared. “So don’t say anything that’ll get you in trouble!”
Trump immediately reminded listeners that the latest polls show him leading and Democrats “basically told [President Biden] to get out and they staged a coup… I think we’re doing very well.” Gutfeld, laughing, wished “Mr. P” well and hung up. “I told you he was gonna call!” he said.
The former president’s attack continued well into Thursday night on his Truth Social profile where he faulted Harris for deceiving Americans into believing she would be a bridge builder in office rather than a far-left extremist. “LYING AGAIN ABOUT PROJECT 2025, WHICH SHE KNOWS, AND SO DO ALL DEMOCRATS, THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH!” Trump wrote Thursday night during his opponent’s nomination speech. Project 2025, an initiative to implement deeply conservative policies being spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, has not been coordinated with the Trump campaign, he claims. Trump also knocked Harris for having three and a half years in office to find progress on a number of fronts; instead, he wrote, Harris delivered vague promises of bipartisanship and popular policy platitudes. “She didn’t mention China, she didn’t mention fracking, she didn’t mention Energy, she didn’t mention, meaningfully, Russia and Ukraine, she didn’t mention the big subjects of the day, that are destroying our Country. There are 60 million people in poverty in the U.S., under their watch, and she doesn’t even talk about them!” he added.
In a bid to draw national media outlets away from the Democrats’ unifying event, President Trump paid a visit to the southern border on Thursday where he stood at part of a border wall in Cochise County, Arizona. He was joined by the mother and father of a 12-year-old girl who was recently kidnapped and murdered by two migrants who recently entered the country. Jocelyn Nungaray was found strangled in a Dallas creek, a case the president said highlights the “weak border security policy” of the Biden-Harris administration. “I have to go through the rest of my life with my son always asking for his sister, and I just really, really, really want everybody to please take into consideration how important border control is,” Jocelyn’s mother Alexis Nungaray said, KHOU reported.
