President Donald Trump called into The Five on Thursday, discussing a range of topics during the segment, including comments directed at co-host Jessica Tarlov, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The appearance was conducted remotely rather than in-studio. During the segment, the panel engaged Trump in conversation about current events and media coverage.
At one point, co-host Jesse Watters invited the president to appear on the set in the future during a time when Tarlov would also be present.
Here’s What They’re Not Telling You About Your Retirement
“Mr. President, the next time you do this on The Five, can we have you on set?” Watters asked. “Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica. I think you’d be a good influence on her. Can you do that?”
Trump responded directly when asked about Tarlov’s commentary on the program.
“Well, I think– I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” Trump said, prompting laughter from the other hosts.
“And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling [at] 42%.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually. You know, polls are just like– I hate people that use fake polls because polls are just like bad journalists. You know, bad journalists, they write fake stories. Well, fake polls do damage also. But that’s the thing. I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”

Watters replied, “She’s a lovely person. We’re working on her. Don’t worry.”
HILARIOUS: Jesse Watters: “Next time you do this on ‘The Five’ could we have you on set? Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica.”
