<p>Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> pushed back on claims that he rips on a lot of top people who he hired in his administration by saying that for every one bad example there is, there are ten good examples.</p>
<p>Trump made the remarks in response to a question from Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who noted that Trump said in 2016 that he was going to &#8220;surround myself with only the best and most serious people.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I did do that,&#8221; Trump told Baier. &#8220;That&#8217;s tremendous. Look, we had the best economy we&#8217;ve ever had, the world has ever seen.&#8221;</p>
<p>Baier responded:</p>
<blockquote><p>This time, your Vice President Mike Pence is running against you. Your ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, she&#8217;s running against you. Your former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said he&#8217;s not supporting you.</p>
<p>You mentioned National Security Adviser John Bolton. He&#8217;s not supporting you either. You mentioned Attorney General Bill Barr. Says you shouldn&#8217;t be president again. Calls you &#8216;the consummate narcissist&#8217; and “troubled man.” You recently called Barr a “gutless pig.”</p>
<p>Your second defense secretary is not supporting you. Called you irresponsible. This week, you called your White House Chief of Staff John Kelly “weak and ineffective” and “born with a very small brain.” You called your acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney a “born loser.” You called your first Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, “dumb as a rock,” and your first Defense Secretary, James Mattis, “the world&#8217;s most overrated general.” You called your White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany “milquetoast.”</p>
<p>And multiple times, you&#8217;ve referred to your Transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, as “Mitch McConnell&#8217;s China-loving wife.”</p></blockquote>
<p>When asked why he hired all those people, Trump responded that he &#8220;hired ten to one that were fantastic.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We had a great economy. We had phenomenal people in charge of the economy,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;We had phenomenal people in the military. I&#8217;m not a fan of Milley and I&#8217;m not a fan of certain of the television people. But I knocked out ISIS, I defeated ISIS. They said, Mattis, it will take three years and I don&#8217;t think we can do it. I did it in a period of like four weeks.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people who praise you for your policies,&#8221; Baier acknowledged. &#8220;I just said that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s true. Well, I mean, you just went through a list,&#8221; Trump concluded. &#8220;But don&#8217;t forget, for every one you say, I had ten that love us.&#8221;</p>
