President Trump offered rare praise for MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow after she highlighted the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers's effort to respond to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
"Thank you to Rachel @Maddow for putting our Military on full display, and showing how GREAT a job the Federal Government is doing," Trump tweeted Friday. "Also, a special thanks to General Semonite, a Patriot of the highest order and a truly talented engineer and builder!"
Maddow brought Gen. Todd Semonite, commanding general for the corps, on her show Thursday to discuss how the federal government is creating makeshift hospitals in key regions of the country and providing support to people affected by the virus.
"You heard in that clip where a lot of governors said we've gotta be able to build hospitals in a couple of weeks. You can't build a hospital in a couple of weeks," Semonite said. "And the whole goal of what we're trying to do is to go into an existing facility ... and therefore modify it to be able to take care of that shortage."

Praise from him will be like a burr under her jockstrap.
Playing them like a Stradivarious, not just any ordinary fiddle.
Definitely, she freaks out about losing her job!!
3D Chess
This will bother her and the haters more than criticism.
He’s messing with her. Best potus ever.
If you’ve paid attention that’s just how Trump operates, he’ll give props where warranted even with an obvious political “enemy” in the hopes of forming a constructive working relationship, prime example being Pelosi. However, after the olive branch, if they really cross him again then all bets are off, then they earn their humiliating nickname. Maddow will be no different.
I hope the General doesn’t catch anything from the madcow.
And not just coronavirus.
“He’s messing with her.”
Hell, yes. And masterfully.
Trump never said he likes Madcow....just the subject matter of that one show.....
Did CNN hire you.?
No, it doesn’t say he LIKES her.
He just praised her for doing something right.
What a way to blindside them.
They’ll be beside themselves wondering what’s up with that.
Put a black light on her and blue splotches everywhere.
That’s what I love about Our President. He “heaps burning coals on the heads of his enemies” (doing so in Biblical times was an act of kindness, giving someone fire to cook with or stay warm) - and then watch them return his kindness with anger, thus revealing their true nature once again.
You know President Trump. It was as much a sardonic offer of praise, as it was a sincere one. Much like his offer of congratulations to Mitt for not having Covid-19.
Naw, he is trying to get her in trouble with the crazies.
Trump likes Maddow?
No but he is putting partisan politics aside and praising anyone that helps and does the right thing ... as it should be.
Meanwhile the dems continue to play their little petty partisan games.
I wish. Fully employed with benefits? I surely can bang out some fake news for all that. No problem.
