Fox News Host Ainsley Earhardt: Trump’s a ‘Rust Belt’ Guy, a ‘Blue-Collar’ Worker
By Justin Baragona, The Daily Beast 22 minutes ago
Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt claimed Friday morning that President Trump is a Rust Belt blue-collar worker, seemingly ignoring all reality.
The claim came while Earhardt described how it would be interesting if Trump faced off with former Vice President Joe Biden—whom she also described in those terms—in the 2020 election.
Praising the president’s Thursday night Ohio campaign rally , Earhardt said on Fox & Friends that it would be tough to defeat Trump if the “economy continues to stay strong” and he remains “strong on immigration.”
‘Fox & Friends’ Host Apparently Believes McDonald’s Workers Make Tips
She continued: “It’s interesting that America is favoring either President Trump or Joe Biden depending on what party you are in,” Earhardt noted, as her co-host Steve Doocy added: “That would be a contrast.”
Earhardt, who also believes McDonald’s workers make tips , continued: "They’re both Rust Belt people though. They’re both, like, blue-collar workers that have money, but blue-collar.”
During his rally on Thursday, the president—who is the son of a multi-millionaire who was born and raised in New York and who famously has an apartment mansion plated in 24K gold and marble—painted himself as being from Cincinnati, telling the crowd he worked in the city for years and had “great success.” In reality, his father owned apartments in the area and sold the complex in 1972, with the younger Trump having little-to-no involvement in the property .

OMG. Trump is as far from blue collar as you can get.
When the bimbo goes down the roots through the cranium into a space left empty.
The delusion is strong in some.
Trump's only connection to being blue collar seemingly is that he is a blowhard who likes to insult people. If you crossed King Louie the 14th of France with Ralph Cramden and then Don Rickles you would end up with something like Trump. A rich know nothing who likes to attack people with words.
Through inheritance, Trump was a millionaire before he was ten years old. There is no record of him ever working a blue collar job, or living in blue collar housing.
His attachment to "regular people" is a facade.
He has a big connection to blue collar people - he screws them over by not paying them, his family screws them over on rent controlled apartments, his family doesn't remove the vermin infestations of their apartments the blue collar folks live in, and so on.
Earhardt was hired as a reporter for WLTX-News 19 , the local CBS station in Columbia, South Carolina , before she graduated from USC. [3] From 2000 to 2004 she worked as the morning and noon anchor.

[12] Amid the Trump administration's negotiations with the Kim Jong Un, Fox & Friends ran North Korean images of Kim Jong Un touring industry in his country; Earhardt described the images as "very romantic". [13] In 2017, she claimed that "5.7 million... illegal immigrants might have voted" in the 2008 election. [14]
In May 2019, after The New York Times documented Trump's "deep financial distress" between 1985 and 1994, which included losing more money than almost any other American taxpayer, Earhardt praised Trump, saying “it's pretty impressive, all the things that he's done in his life. It's beyond what most of us could ever achieve."

[25] [26]
You just keep telling yourself that for the next 5.5 years...
He's supposedly an "Elite" but with an 8th grade drop out education which is why some rust belt white workers with the same education level absolutely love him.
I call him a Manhattan Elite because that's what he is. He thinks he's better than everybody else just because he's supposedly rich and has a fancy-schmancy apartment in Manhattan.
He's not blue collar and this chick is dumber than a bath mat

Answer her question. Oh, wait, you can't because you don't even know what you mean?
Color me surprised
Ever hear of typos? But you never make any do you?
And just stop with the pussy footing around. You don't know what you mean so now you're just gonna engage in a back and forth with me.
You can engage yourself. I'm done with you
This whole seed is nothing more than that.
There have been four Democratic debates. Who among the Democratic candidates are best positioned to win blue-collar hearts and minds?
I've been under the impression that the left defends women and is inclusive. After reading the comments on this seed, I learned that I was wrong. The descriptions of Ainsley Earhardt include the following mockery: skank, titty bar, strip club, porn references, bimbo.
Those are far from acceptable when describing respectable women, which, as far as I know, Ms. Earhardt is, even if one disagrees with her comments or politics.
Once again, some have shown intolerance and worse ... and base it upon identity politics. Thank you for exposing yourselves.
[Deleted]
And some of your NT buddies have called Mrs Obama and Mrs Clinton a helluva lot worse but where are you when they are "exposing themselves"?
Nope, she's not a worker drone from that hive so she must be attacked. Hive mentality for those drones ....
The truth usually does when you don't want to hear it.
"The" truth
Okay, i'll play your sophomoric game just once.
13.2 is the truth .... you just can't handle the truth.
SOSDD
Well said Jasper.
Jasper?
#5.2.4
Respectful?
5.2.5
Nope. But why should I be?
Yeah people suck, welcome to Earth.
Ainsley just posted a tweet to Trump, telling him to get a tetanus shot and a bottle of CLR
Fox News Host Ainsley Earhardt: Trump’s a ‘Rust Belt’ Guy, a ‘Blue-Collar’ Worker
This is hilarious, did not realize that Fox news had a comedy segment. The only blue that might be found on Mr. Trumps collar, would be eye Stormies eye shadow.
Ainsley looks like she should be chained up to a truck axle in Michael Vic's backyard.
That took me a minute. Everybody else seems to think she's more like an Afghan wolfhound.....
What the fuck? Since when does being born rich, living your entire life in luxury because of your parent's wealth, and having jerking off being the most work your hands have ever done make you a blue collar worker?
Well he understands us and our needs and identifies with us and Ainsley gets it, unlike the arrogant condescending progressive left. Trump is our retribution against the bi coastal ivory tower elites establishment of both parties.
