Even Fox News Host Can’t Get Behind Trump’s ‘Trolling’ Walk Of Fame

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade isn’t a fan of the “Presidential Walk of Fame,” President Donald Trump’s latest controversial addition to the White House.

The Walk of Fame was installed along the West Wing colonnade outside the Oval Office earlier this year. This week, the portraits of Trump’s predecessors ― including former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton ― were given bronze plaques with commentary written in the style of Trump’s social media ramblings.

The entire display doesn’t sit well with Kilmeade, who deemed it an example of Trump’s “trolling” behavior that will easily be reversed by one of the president’s successors.

“I’m not for this at all,” he said during Thursday’s installment of Fox’s “The Five” roundtable. “So they’re just going to mock President Trump or put something on his plaque.”

He went on to note: “If he is going to do it, outdoors, just do it right, just put the profiles up there. I am not for dispelling or saying anything bad. Plus a lot of presidents that people think were bad, like Ulysses S. Grant, ended up being looked at as great. I don’t think it’s going to happen with Joe Biden, but I am not for the trolling.”

Kilmeade was referring specifically to the Walk of Fame descriptions of Democratic presidents, which contain petty insults. Obama, for instance, is described as “one of the most divisive political figures in American history,” while Clinton’s plaque includes a line about his wife, Hillary Clinton, having “lost the presidency to President Donald J. Trump!”

As for former President Joe Biden, who is depicted by the image of an autopen device in lieu of a portrait, the label deems him “the worst President in American history.”

On the flip side, many Republican presidents are summarized positively. The plaque beneath former President Ronald Reagan declares that “he was a fan of President Donald J. Trump before President Trump’s historic run for the White House. Likewise, President Trump was a fan of his!”

Many of Kilmeade’s “The Five” co-hosts, however, didn’t seem to share his view of the president’s ostentatious approach.

“If you think this is repulsive, what would you call what Bill Clinton did in there?” Jesse Watters said, alluding to Clinton’s extramarital relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. “It’s his house for now. For the next three years ― maybe more. And so he can decorate it any way he wants.”
