Trump's shadow cabinet works at Fox News.
“Hold that thought, I need to call a Fox News weekend host for legislative advice.”
If you’re a member of the Trump cabinet, be prepared to hear those words the next time you have an Oval Office meeting. That’s basically what happened to embattled Veterans Affairs secretary David Shulkin.
Summoned to the White House to discuss legislative options for how to fix the agency, Axios reports, “Trump surprised Shulkin by dialing in Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth on speaker phone to get his opinion of the legislation.”
“Trump talks to Hegseth regularly and enjoys watching him on Fox and Friends,” according to Axios.
Not only does Trump seem to have a shadow cabinet of sorts, which he consults freely for advice, but many of those cabinet members appear to work at the chronically hateful and untrustworthy Fox News. Hegseth is just the latest reveal.
Just last week, seeking refuge from the Stormy Daniels scandal, Trump invited Fox News host Jesse Watters to dinner. Watters a history of racism and stalking. He also once made a sexual “joke” about Ivanka Trump, after which he took a sudden “vacation” from his show.
Trump’s outside advisers also include irrational Fox News hosts like Jeanine Pirro and Sean Hannity. Last year, when dealing with the intricacies of the Iran nuclear deal, Trump reportedly calledHannity for insights. Keep in mind, Hannity dropped out of college to become an AM radio talk show host. Yet that’s who Trump turns to for sensitive policy advice on foreign affairs.
This year, Trump once again turned to Hannity during the roll-out of the GOP’s doomed Nunes memo.
Putin's Bitch loves the Russian MSM doesn't he...
