Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on this Monday. It is an interesting exercise to try to figure out how President Trump thinks. But since I've known him for more than three decades, I got it down. And I am not a sycophant. I am not somebody who goes, yes, Mr. President, yes, sir, whatever you want. That is not me, as you know. But I understand the man. So let me give you a very vivid example. He goes to Asia and he gets a lot of good stuff in the usa. He comes back and the Trump haters, the Democratic Party, no, no, no, no. Tripp wasn't very good. No, China got the better of him. It's all a bunch of bull. So in his first 10 months in office, President Trump did 100 times more than Joe Biden did in four years. That's provable. That is a fact. Some of this stuff hasn't worked. And Mr. Trump is certainly way too bellicose. But he goes to Asia and he told me directly, and Mr. Trump has never lied to me, that his deals will amount to $2 trillion in benefit for America. Now, I can't do the accounting, but again, the man does not lie to me. So why not give the president the benefit of the doubt? Japan likes him, Malaysia likes them, Cambodia likes them, China, South Korea likes them. All of that is a plus. Back in a moment. That is the Morning O'Reilly update. More analysis later on.
