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.”

Says the blow hard…
I went through the same thing in the W days. However, what I have found over the years is that these people are definitely in the minority, albeit it is a very LOUD minority.
Oh and one last thing, please remember that though you may get annoyed, they are NOT the enemy.
I know. They still love me.
Friendly interviews are good but you need to make appearances on not-so-friendly shows as well but sparingly. But certain people and venues should be a no go zone like 60 minutes and this idiot from the NY Times.
Yes, Trump is hurt so much by his big ego, he is the most popular politician in America by a mile.
B.O. has the right initials. Nonsense.
Anyone who seeks the U.S. presidency has a big ego.
Shy wallflowers don’t seek the top office.
Says the old guy who lost his prime time program and is so addicted to the spotlight he starts up a stupid internet show that gets no viewers instead of retiring.
Why give them high ratings? At the very least, starve the beast.

Isn’t this the idiot who asked the young woman if she used a falafel in the shower?

Let’s not Forget BOR backed Obamacare.
Remember, no more waits at Emergency Rooms.
Remember that. All that more saved at Emergency rooms would energize the Economy.
It also termendously helped him. Imagine him running with the GOPe against him, if he didn’t have great media skills.
You take the bad with the good. Especially when there is a lot of good.
It’s interesting the knee jerk reaction on this thread is to bash Bill O’Reilly.
Although no fan of O’Reilly, his take here is correct, O’Reilly is not that smart, but he doesn’t need to be because what he’s saying here is just glaringly obvious.
Trump did many great things as President, but he also made many mistakes. The chorus group that wants to bash everyone who points those out is getting tiring, Trump will never learn from his mistakes if nobody is allowed to point them out.
Bill is the same guy who had to pay millions, because he sexually harassed women at Fox. Then he went from hating the Clintons to sucking up to them.
Yup...
So what? It’s part of the price you pay for getting people that fight and take it to your enemy in this media saturated environment. Those people will not be wallflowers. Jeb Bush please clap milquetoasts will never win anything…you sure as Hell can’t call Mitch McConnell a leader or a fighter.
The same bozos who complain about this will complain about DeSantis next (OMG he sent them to Martha’s Vineyard and he wasn’t even embarrassed!). And after him they’ll say the same thing about Kari Lake who shoves their own words down their throats and up their a$$.
It goes with the territory. The Brits in the late 30’s thought the same of Churchill. And they were right. It’s what is necessary.
Not sure if she was young, but that is the Bill O’Reilly we all love.
