We’re mildly sorry we missed this on Newsmax TV:
On Saturday, Newsmax TV will air “Trump and Me: A Conversation with Ron Kessler,” an original new documentary that takes you behind the scenes of the Trump presidency to reveal the true story of how Donald Trump became leader of the world’s most powerful nation — and how he made it great again.
For over 20 years, famed journalist Ron Kessler had almost unlimited access to Trump as he made him a subject of multiple books.
For the first time, Kessler shares his private and most candid thoughts about the billionaire-turned-president.
[…]In< “Trump and Me,” Kessler describes how Trump worked his way up the ladder of success, graduating from the prestigious Wharton School to help run his father’s real estate business, eventually turning it into a multibillion-dollar enterprise.
Kessler looks at Trump’s uphill battle in Washington to reform the bureaucracies of the FBI, CIA, VA, and other agencies that are in desperate need of fresh blood and renewed ethics.
And he discusses Trump’s efforts boost the economy, reign in trade agreements, end poverty, and fight bigotry.
“He was very prepared for becoming president because he had a grasp on a lot of world issues and a grasp of conservative approaches to the government — and he simply implemented them,” Kessler says in “Trump and Me.”
He adds, “Trump really cares about his country. He is a patriot.”
Kessler also reveals Trump’s most personal side, including his relationship with his wife Melania, family, and his staff.
Kessler has long been a pro-Trump hagiographer and, when he was Newsmax’s White House correspondent, was promoting Trump’s presidential prospects there as early as 2011, at one point gushing (in writing about flying on Trump’s commercial-size private jet) that Trump “is younger, thinner, and blonder than in his photos.”
Which makes Newsmax’s claim that Kessler’s special is “an unvarnished, unbiased look at Trump that you will not find anywhere else” particularly hilarious. We don’t doubt that you won’t see this anywhere else, but based on the above description, the show appears to be quite varnished and most definitely biased, coming from a highly biased pro-Trump writer.
