US President Donald Trump and Television show host Sean Hannity apparently have a good rapport, given that Sean has been criticized for being favorable to Trump’s campaign. Reportedly, during the 2016 Presidential Election, Hannity provided more airtime for discussions on Donald Trump and criticized Hillary Clinton on corruption and malfeasance heavily. Some have called him Trump’s biggest media booster.
In the same way, Sean Hannity was always picky on Barack Obama about his birthplace – like Donald Trump. In October 2016, in order to trigger the seemingly lost gossip, Sean offered Obama a one-way flight ticket to Kenya.
