When Donald Trump was president, Fox News personality Sean Hannity was described as his "shadow chief of staff." Trump is now a retiree golfing in Florida, but the Fox News hold lavished praise during an interview broadcast on Friday night.
Hannity began the interview by praising Trump's work ethic while he lives at Mar-a-Lago in retirement.

Trump went on to lavish praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin while complaining about investigations into his ties to Russia.
Here's some of what people were saying:

Former President Donald Trump on Monday praised his relationship with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
The statements came after Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was transferred to a prison hospital and the Pentagon warned about Russia's troop build-up along the border with Ukraine.
Fox News personality Sean Hannity asked Trump what he would do differently if he were to run again in 2024 and win.
Trump did not lay out a vision for the future and instead complained about investigations into his ties with Russia.
Trump recounted that his 2016 campaign aides repeatedly asked him about his ties to Russia, but denied there was relationship.
"Getting along with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing," Trump argued.
"I got along great with President Putin, I liked him, he liked me," he said. "That's a good thing, not a bad thing."

Rudy Giuliani slammed for lying that Maxine Waters made a 'direct threat to the jury' in the Chauvin trial
April 19, 2021
On Monday, former President Donald Trump's longtime ally Rudy Giuliani posted a Twitter rant against Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), accusing her of making a "direct threat" against the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial in Minnesota.
Maxine Waters did exactly what Donald J. Trump did not do. But worse! It was a deliberate call for violence and a… https://t.co/ifJaOvub2P— Rudy W. Giuliani (@Rudy W. Giuliani)1618879670.0
Contrary to Giuliani's claim, Waters' claim that protesters should be "more confrontational" if Chauvin is acquitted is not actually a threat of violence, against the jury or against anyone else — and indeed, the judge in the case made clear that while he wasn't fond of her commenting on the case, it did not taint the jury.
Commenters on social media quickly scorned Giuliani, some of them reminding him he had said far worse at the "Save America" rally mere minutes before a violent pro-Trump mob invaded the U.S. Capitol.
