President Donald Trump on Thursday praised Attorney General Pam Bondi for her “fantastic” appearance before Congress in the face of many others considering the performance to have been unhinged.
On Wednesday, Bondi shouted, sneered and launched a series of personal attacks as she faced questions from the House Judiciary Committee, largely about her Justice Department’s handling of files relating to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Amid reports the president is disillusioned with his attorney general for failing to push through his agenda, Bondi repeatedly crow-barred praise of Trump into her responses, calling him “the greatest president in American history.”
During one bizarre pivot, Bondi referenced how the Dow Jones Industrial Average had hit a record high, and lauded Trump for the achievement, as she fended off questions about Epstein.
“Because Donald Trump — the Dow,” she blurted out in a moment that became an instant internet meme.
