With the unemployment rate of 14.7 percent and over 70 thousand Americans dead from a pandemic he dismissed, President Donald Trump found time to call into his favorite show: Fox and Friends.

Similar to his previous calls in to the network, the President delivered rambling diatribes with no clear purpose.


In one notable moment, he went from railing against former Attorney General Jeff Sessions—whom he claimed he only appointed because Sessions was the first Senator to endorse him—to bragging that he learned a lot from disgraced former President Richard Nixon.

That last claim coaxed a scoff from one of the show's hosts.

Watch below.


The President said:

"I learned a lot from Richard Nixon. Don't fire people. I learned a lot. I study history, and the firing of everybody — I should've in one way, but I'm glad I didn't, because look at the way it turned out. They're all a bunch of crooks and they got caught."

Ironically, the President said he learned from Nixon not to fire people.

When he was a reality television star, Trump's catch phrase on the apprentice was "You're fired." That philosophy followed him to the White House, where at least 21 administration officials were fired or pushed out, let alone the dozens of officials who resigned. Trump's administration has an 86 percent turnover rate—the highest in American history.

No wonder even Fox and Friends hosts couldn't hold back their incredulity.



People were also struck at Trump's claim that Nixon—who resigned in disgrace after his conviction for ordering a break-in of the Democratic National Committee headquarters became inevitable—"may" have been guilty.






It sure sounded like Trump was bragging that, unlike Nixon, he didn't get caught.





If only Trump would really learn from Nixon—and resign.

According to former presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway—who gave us the term "alternative facts"—the campaign has sparked "panic on the left."
