Kayleigh McEnany Responds To Donald Trump Attack With 1 Of His ...

Former Trump White House press secretary-turned-Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany deployed a favorite Donald Trump line on the air Thursday, days after being accused of disloyalty by the former president who bizarrely slammed her as “milktoast.”

“He said, ‘Mr. President, thank you for saving America,’” Trump boasted at the time. “I’m telling you, that man, he was tough. I don’t think he cried when he was a baby.”

Most recently, Trump said employees in the New York courthouse where he was arraigned in April in the Stormy Daniels hush money payment case cried over him.
