Bill O’Reilly, host of No Spin News and author of Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity, said on Friday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow that former President Donald Trump is “addicted” to fame.
“Trump is addicted to the spotlight,” O’Reilly stated. “He has to have it, and that’s hurt him, because once you have to get attention at all times, you’re going to make mistakes. For example, this Maggie Haberman, New York Times reporter, he gives her three interviews. He knows she’s going cut his throat. He’s got to know what she’s been doing for six years. Why would you give access to somebody who’s going to hurt you? Because he wanted to be in the Times. He wanted to be in this world.”

Bill…oh so boring Bill. Mr Mega-head. You and Sean Hannity. Trump. Not”addicted.” Fame was always part of his toolkit. He owned it. He used it. He wasn’t a bonafide politician. He was the one politicians sought out. His lure was money and fame. Politicians slobbered all over him.
Doesn’t make it correct either
Trump had much mor fame and notice as a TV star
Is that really controversial? You can vote for Trump and love Trump and still have to admit that it’s true.
Says Ted Baxter (h/t Rush)
Why else would he talk to Bob Woodward or Maggie Haberman?
That's rich coming from O'Reilly and I think he's got Trump confused with "um, it's all about me, the attention whore", hannity.
Could be that O’Reilly in that interview was talking mostly to Trump, not us. Most important to me is what Republican can win the next presidential election. Trump’s personality costs him votes, no doubt.
No, but my bloomers are in a bunch.
I guess actually reading the articles is not what a lot of freepers do. It's so much easier to deliver knee jerk reactions based on the headlines. But I understand Dems do it all the time so why shouldn't we?
I always had a soft spot for O’Reilly’s bloviating, because he read one of my emailed comments on the program. Li’l ol’ ME, on national TV!
The bad news is, I missed it. It was a rec basketball evening followed by a rehydrating stop at the pub. A fellow choir member told me at rehearsal a couple of days later.
This from a guy who doesn’t know the difference between a Falafel and a Loofah.
Thank god he doesn't listen to you dingleberrys.
It’s what it is, like it or not this is our society. Trump reached people that other politicians simply cannot precisely because of who he is.
Lord knows I don’t always want politicians like Trump, but I’m willing to look past it. So it just doesn’t bother me.
And I think seeing Brandon for the last two years, a lot of people who thought Trump was tacky are waking up to the fact that all politicians are “tacky” to a degree.
I shouldn’t even bother to reply to you but your disdain for Freepers should be reason to wonder why you are on this forum???
Bill O most certainly said the rude statements about Trump.
And his ‘damning with faint praise ‘ doesn’t cut it.
Correct. They both are.
The same thing happened when I refused to equate political neophyte Sarah Palin with Ronald Reagan, who had a lifetime of incredible success in a variety of fields.
Again, with Ukraine. If you refuse to support The Narrative™, you are a Putin Bot.
So now, if you agree with BOR on this one aspect of President Trump's personality, you are a NeverTrumper.
It feels like I'm dealing with emotional little girls, the way so many Freepers slam the door and shout, "I HATE you!"
That’s MISTER Dingleberry to you, Sir.
Just because what he’s saying about Trump also applies to himself as well doesn’t make it wrong.Trumps record of achievements makes Trump right and you losers in the peanut gallery look like the fools.
With no political experience:
Trump accomplished more in one term than any other President in your lifetime.
But I can imagine that part of the Democrat strategy was to have everybody else hear him all the time as well.How did that work out for you? Who're the fools in that picture?Very well said.
In no way do I have distain for freepers- just those who comment without reading the articles. And that sure ain’t most of them but there are enough to annoy me.
This site has the best news links and some of the more intelligent posters around. But I don’t do political idolatry and puts me on some peoples S**T list
