President gives shout out to Lake Worth after seeing Fox News interview.
Donald Trump is grateful for Lake Worth. The president thanked the Palm Beach County city in a tweet Sunday morning.
Trump didn’t say why he was thanking the city, but the tweet was likely inspired by supporters who praised the president in a 10 a.m. Sunday live segment, from Lake Worth, on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends After the Show Show.”
The segment featured Fox News correspondent Ed Henry’s appearance at Benny’s on the Beach, a South Ocean Blvd. restaurant. Henry, known to be a huge baseball fan, was there to promote his new book “42 Faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story.”
The live report showed Henry, before he was scheduled to read an excerpt from the book, thanking his colleagues in the Fox News studio before saying the “real story” is that Benny’s is not far from Trump’s Mar-aLago, and that a lot of Trump supporters had come out and wanted to share their opinions as the administration nears its 100th day.
A woman identified as Valerie said, “I think he’s doing a great job, yeah, he’s doing a great job, representing the people of the United States, the people, the red people.”
“Alright, the red people, I haven’t heard that before,” Henry responded.
“He’s doing awesome, awesome, awesome — couldn’t ask for a better president,” another woman said.
“My biggest issue is health care, and I think he’s doing the best he can with that,” said a man wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.
“There was a big stumble in the first 100 days, so how does he get it back together?” Henry interjected.
“He’s in one of the most dangerous swamps on the planet, but he’s King Croc,” the man replied.
The segment ended with Henry signing off and the supporters chanting, “Trump! Trump! Trump!”
Then, at 10:07 a.m., Trump tweeted his gratitude.
