Greg Gutfield may have just become the first man in history to deliver a more fawning, ass-kissing Trump interview than Sean Hannity. That is an accomplishment that he can and will put on his resume.

Gutfeld must have his eyes set upon bigger things for himself, it is about the only way we’re able to explain the Trump interview that he put out last night, the first Trump interview of which the audience is forced to ask whether the host added a laugh track. Gutfeld does his show in front of a live audience, but it’s debatable that they laughed this hard.

Twitter never came to a firm consensus on whether the laughter was real or not, as you’ll note below, but some had other issues, specifically how Trump looked and sounded. Trump was in a good mood and the interview was “light-hearted,” to put it with extreme understatement, so one could easily be lulled out of the realization that Trump’s answers were all over the place and his face looked far more wrinkled than usual:

Trump’s only real message these days is just how much Joe Biden has wrecked the country, which is tragically ironic. The only thing “wrecked” about this country is the fact that our medical infrastructure is about to fall apart due to Trump’s inability to solidly lead on the COVID crisis.

But that’s an entirely different column. As to the laugh track…

I’m pretty sure he’s used canned applause (when he didn’t seed the audience with enough staffers to laugh/cheer/applaud him) but don’t recall if he used a laugh track or not.

No trump's speech at the UN had a live audience laugh tract too. https://t.co/YHQ7EOQcU2

Some were convinced the laughter was real and we have to point that out, Greg’s show is in front of a live audience.

I rolled back the tape and @greggutfeld is indeed simply showing clips of the Trump interview to his audience.

A very misleading post, which will no doubt go viral, from Media Matters https://t.co/AWw7idfKjQ

Still, we don’t put it past Greg at all. It looks to us like he and the show would do anything to get an advantage. Others had more questions about Trump himself:

Trump is looking rough. Also, who did the lighting in this room? Looks like a bad set from an 80s soap opera.

I can’t believe people are trying to sell the narrative that Trump somehow looks better than he did a year ago, four years ago, etc.

He looks like absolute crap. And this is under television lighting!!

What in Gods name has happened to his hairdo? It’s entered a new realm of bizarreness.

He does look all wrinkled but he’s not going downhill fast enough to us, not mentally, at least. We had hope that he’d fall apart once outside the White House, not quite yet.
