POSTERIOR FEVER

Trump’s Man-Thirst Roasted on His Favorite Network

A Fox News host got a good laugh out of Trump’s “weird” comments.

Fox News’ Brian Kilmeade, 62, finds Donald Trump’s sexual comments about MAGA male candidates hilarious.

On The Brian Kilmeade Show, Kilmeade’s guest, Republican political consultant Karl Rove, 75, called Trump’s thirst over Ohio Sen. Jon Husted’s physique “just weird.”

Kilmeade, a staunch Trump ally, couldn’t help giggling as they discussed the president’s remarks about the 59-year-old senator’s hands, shoulders, feet, and jawline.

“I’m studying his body,” Trump, 80, said at a North Carolina rally on Tuesday. “I’ve never studied the body of a man before; it’s not my thing.” He added, “But I looked at his a--, and then I looked at his legs… It’s like a pile of muscle.”

“I’d feel a lot better if there was a deliberate strategy where they said, ‘Look, this is the message we’re going to deliver, and we’re gonna deliver this message so that nothing else gets covered,’” said Rove, who served in the Bush administration from 2001 to 2007 as senior adviser to the president. “But he goes off and starts talking about the posterior of Sen. Jon Husted, and I’m thinking, what kind of a message is that?”

When Rove said the word “posterior,” Kilmeade broke into a grin. “You mean George Bush wouldn’t’ve done that?” he cut in.

“No!” Rove cried. “No! I mean, what you want to have when you plan these events, you want to know the message.”

Trump’s fawning has drawn major ridicule from both the left and the right; even Vice President JD Vance, 42, joked about the president’s fascination with Husted’s rear end.

Though Kilmeade often defends Trump, he stunned his Fox and Friends co-hosts by raging earlier this month that Trump’s support of Russia is “the biggest mistake of his administration,” adding that Vladimir Putin is “the modern Hitler of our generation.” Kilmeade has also slammed Trump’s coziness with Saudi Arabia and his war against Iran.

While speaking with Rove, Kilmeade posited that Trump’s comments were an effort to appeal to athlete voters by highlighting Husted’s fitness.

“Promise me this, you’re never going to comment adversely, favorably on my posterior,” Rove joked. “It’s just weird. It’s just weird! Come on! The president of the United States [says], he’s got a great a--. I mean, please!”
