economic advisor to donald trump. donald trump was famously and constantly combative with the press, what would have been the media reaction if he told a cnn reporter you're in the wrong business? >> what do you think? they would have gotten nuts. they always went nuts. you know, look, my thought here is president biden who i think had a very bad week in almost every single area, nonetheless if he had saved all that vehemence and fight for vladimir putin instead of this girl, katlyn collins, we would have been better off. trump would never have gotten away with that. trump could have apologized 10 times and not one in the mainstream media would have reported it. howie: the former president called into fox the other night, the night of the meeting with putin, and he said this. >> i guess the overall is we didn't get anything.
