Plea draws suggestions on
Social Media that the president was not aware the disgraced media figure had died in May 2017
Donald Trump appeared to make an otherworldy plea for help to boost the fortunes of
Fox News on Tuesday, asking about the whereabouts of its long-dead and disgraced chairman Roger Ailes.
In a tweet criticising the channel’s hiring of
Democratic figure Donna Brazile, he said: “Where are you Roger Ailes?”, drawing suggestions he was not aware that Ailes had died in May 2017, shortly after being forced out of Fox amid a series of accusations of
Sexual Misconduct .
