Former President and current Florida retiree Donald Trump appeared on Fox News for an interview with right-wing host Sean Hannity on Friday night, and he totally outdid himself.
The bizarre interview started off by Hannity praising Trump’s work ethic while he lives at Mar-a-Lago in retirement.
In response, Trump complained about investigations into his ties to Russia and went on to lavish praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
As expected, internet users were quick to respond:

HANNITY: "You are working as hard as you did when you were in the White House."
NARRATOR: "This was one of few statements Sean Hannity ever made that was true. After leaving the White House, Donald would get up around 10AM, eat an Egg McMuffin or 7, and watch TV until tee-time."

Trump: "It's never happened to another president. I don't know if you know, Sean, in a second term, a president usually gets less votes."
George W. Bush, for instance, got 62 mill votes in '04 after just getting 50.5 mill in '00.
Clinton got 44 mill in '92 and 47 mill in '96. pic.twitter.com/cm6OR2MT7p

Yes I'd imagine that waiting to see if he'll end up in prison would probably have some impact on his political career. https://t.co/amBkGTfdxo

He's not stupid. He "sells" his audience a version of a twisted reality so he can manipulate them. He doesn't necessarily believe in that reality. It's just a means to an end. He's a con man.

Trump should just drop a confession album and save us all the trouble. https://t.co/UUUj4u924I
