President Trump released a heartfelt tribute to his friend, the late Lou Dobbs, following his passing this week.
Expressing his surprise and sorrow, Trump reflected on Dobbs’ enduring presence and impact.
President Trump:
“Lou Dobbs was one of the greatest ever in an industry filled with great people. There was nobody like him. He was my friend, a real talent, and a tough cookie. He was so tough, but only on bad people, not on good ones.
He is someone who will be greatly missed. Lou was a big voice, a very powerful voice. It’s very devastating. I thought he would be around forever. Debbie, his wife, is unbelievable. I saw them together all the time, and they had a wonderful relationship.
I really believed Lou would be here for a long time. Then, just a few days ago, I got the bad news that he wasn’t feeling well, which made me feel badly. And come to think of it, I wasn’t feeling so great either around that time.
But Lou was a very special guy to me. He was instrumental in the success of MAGA. He understood MAGA better than anyone, and he will truly be missed. He was a great man, exceptional at what he did, and a great person.
It’s an honor to do this little tribute for him. I would do it anywhere they wanted me to. He was very, very special. May he rest in peace.”
