If ten years ago you had told me that the most interesting television presidential interview would be Greg Gutfeld and Donald Trump, I would have said, “Greg who?” followed by, “You mean the guy from The Apprentice?”
But Gutfeld provides Trump with one of the only television spaces where he’s not fending off attacks from so-called journalists. Now I don’t count the Hannity type infomercial. It’s too phony for anyone to take seriously. And surprisingly, Trump doesn’t seem at ease when he sits down with Tucker Carlson for whatever reason.
With Gutfeld and his panel of goofballs Trump seems jovial and loose which is when he’s at his best. And Gutfeld has a decent sized audience for cable tv. I’ve been watching Gutfeld on and off since his “Red Eye” days. He’s basically a libertarian but he doesn’t attack the Right much anymore so he’s relatively benign. Good to see Trump getting a platform.
