Newsmax had already embarrassed itself by fawning over President Trump after 200 days in office. Now it has decided to embarrass itself even further by marking Trump’s 300 days in office, as a Nov. 14 article detailed:
Newsmax will air the exclusive special “Trump 300” Friday night at 8 p.m. ET, hosted by Rob Finnerty, offering viewers a sweeping look inside President Donald Trump’s first 300 days of his second term.
The one-hour event will feature top officials from the Trump administration revealing how the president has reshaped America with historic speed and resolve.
Finnerty will speak to the biggest names of the Trump administration, including Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz, and border czar Tom Homan.
Vice Chair for the Center for Election Integrity and former White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley, former U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser KT McFarland, and CPAC chair Matt Schlapp will also join Finnerty.
Other guests include actors Dean Cain and Rob Schneider.
Is Newsmax so desperate for commentary that they had to stick in has-been actors like Cain and Schneider? Apparently so. The fawning continued;
The program will also explore how Trump’s America First agenda has driven down inflation; strengthened the dollar; expanded U.S. energy production to record levels; and created a confident, growing economy.
Officials will describe the president’s mission to restore American manufacturing, achieve peace through strength, and dismantle the weaponization of government.
“Trump 300” highlights the president’s sweeping national security achievements, including a new Golden Dome missile defense strategy, record military investment, and breakthrough peace agreements across multiple global conflicts.
[…]Viewers will see how Trump has reasserted American leadership abroad while keeping U.S. troops out of needless wars.
The special also covers Trump’s sweeping actions to defend constitutional rights; protect Social Security and Medicare; end radical diversity, equity, and inclusion mandates; and return education authority to the states.
Officials detail how the administration restored order in cities, cracked down on migrant crime, strengthened election integrity, and made campuses safe again.
From tariffs that reset global trade to energy policies that revived U.S. dominance, “Trump 300” lays out the results of the president’s bold agenda.
Presumably, not a second of Trump criticism will air. This was, of course, joined with even more fawning. First up was one of Newsmax’s own reporters:
Newsmax Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosenreported in a Newsmax Special Report on Thursday that the signal event of President Donald Trump‘s third 100 days in office has to be the brokered Gaza peace deal.
Rosen said, “Among the signal accomplishments of President Trump in the third hundred days of his second term was the deal he and special envoy Steve Witkoff brokered for a ceasefire in Gaza, which also secured the release of the remaining hostages, Israeli and American, being held captive there by Hamas.”
Rosen did eventually concede that “In terms of sequencing, all agree that reconstruction of Gaza cannot begin until security is first established on the ground.”
Rosen was followed by more fawning:
- Matt Schlapp to Newsmax: Trump Victim of Success After First 300 Days
- Tom Homan to Newsmax: ‘Fake Media’ Obscures Border Success of 1st 300 Days
- KT McFarland to Newsmax: At 300 Days, Trump Policies Play Long Game
All this was joined by Newsmax’s resident Trump toady
Presidential strategist and bestselling author Dick Morris told Newsmax that President Donald Trump’s first 300 days into his second term in office point to “a hell of a record.”
Morris told “Saturday Report” that Trump’s record, “So far, is just extraordinary. It’s a hell of a record.”
Morris pointed to illegal border crossings and how Trump has handled the issue as out of the ordinary.
[…]In addition, Morris said America’s economy is unquestionably on the rebound from what was left by the prior administration of Democrat Joe Biden.
“He’s completely halted the momentum of inflation. It’s going down. It certainly is not going up anymore.”
On the broader world view, said Morris, Trump is also winning for Americans.
“He has remedied the discrimination against American companies and people that we’ve been facing as a result of foreign tariffs. And that’s an ongoing process, but I think he’s pursuing it vigorously.”
[…]Morris offered that while some national polls do not show overwhelming support for the president, a lot depends on who is being asked to respond, and how questions are worded.
Of course Morris would say that — it’s his job, after all.
