Even Trump Can't Stop Mocking Sean Hannity's 'Dumb' Softball Questions

[DonViejo]

Trump craves friction to set off sparks and drama. Hannity’s slobbering extinguishes them.

Donald Trump’s close relationship—on air and off—with Sean Hannity hasn’t stopped the president from mocking the Fox star behind his back for being such a suck-up, according to three sources who have independently heard this mockery. These sources asked to remain anonymous in order to discuss private conversations with the president, and in one case also to avoid incurring the ire of Hannity, whom they called a “perfectly nice guy.”

Trump’s many radio and TV interviews, always touted as “exclusives” and rarely making any news, have been widely derided by media critics and political observers as simpering propaganda. And the president himself, a man famous for demanding relentless validation and unwavering loyalty, feels the same way.

Trump has repeatedly—and sometimes for a sustained period of time—made fun of Hannity’s interviewing skills, usually zeroing in on the low-quality laziness of the host’s questions, the three people with direct knowledge tell The Daily Beast.

“It’s like he’s not even trying,” Trump has said, one source recalled, right before the president launched into a rough imitation of Hannity’s voice and mannerisms to complain that the questions about how “great I am” give him nothing to work or have fun with.

1. Honest, reading this on my phone while logging in on my computer at work...

I typed in "dumba" and caught myself.

Jeff Lord. Haven't heard from him in a while. Hard to figure because it was just so important for CNN to have him in everyday during the campaign.

Yeah Fox News, want to explain your network hosting Teabaggers across the country?
