Greg Gutfeld defended Donald Trump’s comments about a potential economic crash, clarifying that Trump did not wish for it to happen during his presidency.
Gutfeld criticized the media’s portrayal of Trump’s remarks and used an analogy to explain the context.
“And when there’s a crash, I hope it’s going to be during these next 12 months because I don’t want to be Herbert Hoover,” Trump said. (Trending: GOP Rep. Mace Clashes Directly With Hunter Biden At Hearing)
“The only reason it’s running now is it’s running off the fumes of what we did,” he added.
“When it comes to a commander-in-chief’s duty, they’re not supposed to wish for an economic downturn,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.
“They’re supposed to put the American people first; that is what the commander-in-chief is supposed to do. They’re not supposed to hope that American families suffer.”
“He — what Trump said is if the economy bottoms out, I hope it’s before I’m in office. That’s what he said,” Gutfeld pressed. “But the media ran with it saying, like, he wants the economy to crumble.
“Let me translate this so the media understands it, the people who work in cable news. If The Five ever gets a low rating, and I’m not saying it will, I don’t want to be on that show! Right? I don’t want to be on that show,” Gutfeld said.
“Now, I didn’t say when The Five gets a low rating because it never does, but if it does, I don’t want to be on the show. Does that sink into Joy Reid’s head now? ‘Oh, I get it. He was saying he didn’t want — he doesn’t want it to happen, but if it does, before he becomes president. Now I understand,’” Gutfeld added.
Meanwhile, a poll suggests that many voters believe Trump is being unfairly targeted by the Biden administration, with a majority wanting the Department of Justice to stop targeting Trump and let voters decide the next president.
“Nearly 7 in 10 voters, or 69%, believe that politics ‘has played’ a role in the four indictments against Trump, according to a new survey shared with Secrets,” Paul Bedard wrote.
“Voters are angered at what they see as Democratic strong-arm tactics to take out America’s most popular politician with legal and political tactics and believe that President Joe Biden and his Justice Department are behind it.”
“Biden is trying to make Donald Trump the Nelson Mandela of America,” pollster John McLaughlin said.
