Donald Trump Fires Fox Anchor Bret Baier After Fiery Interview

Former President Donald Trump’s interview last week with Bret Baier was marred by how the Fox News anchor didn’t come off as a MAGA fanboy, Trump complained Monday.

Appearing on Newsmax days after Baiers’ employer was dismissed as hostile, Trump was asked about how he felt about participating in the first scheduled GOP primary debate in August, which will be hosted by Baier and Martha MacCallum.

Trump began by repeating that it was difficult for him to see the need to debate given his wide lead in the polls. He then griped, again, that Fox News was hostile to him.

When I interviewed Brett, I thought it was fine. I thought it was OK, Trump told Eric Bolling in a warm way. But there was nothing friendly about it. You know, it was ugly, and I thought I did a great job. I get credit for doing a good job.

Trump then gave the impression that he felt Baier should have acted like a campaign surrogate.

Everything seems unfriendly everything is unfriendly: no smile, no Lets have fun, lets make America great again. Everything seems to be a hit.

In that interview, Baier pushed back on Trumps 2020 election lies. The Fox anchor also asked him why, in light of his 2016 pledge to surround himself with the best and most serious people, he often comes up with rich insults publicly feuding with many top members of his administration.
