North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum’s comment from just last year came back to haunt him after he lavished praise on the former president.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) received an awkward reminder of his past criticism of Donald Trump after he went full “dear leader” with his latest praise of the former president.
Burgum, who is reportedly a contender to become presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump’s running mate, waxed lyrical about his potential boss to Fox News’ Shannon Bream at the weekend.
“This guy is tireless, he’s committed, he’s smart, he’s funny. He’s nothing like he’s portrayed in the press,” said Burgum.
Burgum, who ditched his own presidential run in December, claimed he’d “absolutely” do business with Trump because of the ex-POTUS’ successes in television, real estate and politics.
He added, “We should be grateful that we’ve got someone with that kind of talent from the private sector that’s willing to put himself back in the presidential race again.”
