Geraldo Rivera lumped praise on President Trump late Friday over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic by likening him to George S. Patton, the late U.S. Army general who commanded American troops during World War II.
Mr. Rivera, a former talk-show host and Fox News contributor admittedly friendly with Mr. Trump, drew parallels between the president and Patton in a social-media posting.
“Trump-haters clearly frustrated that the American people-many of whom did not vote for him-approve of the epic job @realDonaldTrump is doing to mitigate the #coronavirus catastrophe,” Mr. Rivera said on Twitter.
“He’s flamboyant & unrestrained, but he’s like General Patton, the right warrior for the fight,” Mr. Rivera tweeted.
