And now all of a sudden theyre saying these horrible things about him… Its very sad.

Because hes a very good person.

Ive always found him to be just a very, very good person.

And by the way, a very, very talented person.

Look what hes done.

So I feel very badly.

(Ailes denied these claims.)

I think its so sad.

Hes such a great guy, TrumptoldBloombergon Saturday, referencing Ailes resignation.

And that includes the founding of the major networks.

So, its too bad.

Im sure it was friendly.

I know Rupert [Murdoch].

Hes a great guy.

Trump also hinted that Ailes might step in to help the Republican presidential nominee with his campaign.

Well, I dont want to comment, he added during his interview with Todd.

But, hes been a friend of mine for a long time.
