The host of a Fox Business show offered up Ontario Premier Doug Ford as "more proof" that U.S. President Donald Trump's mentality is catching on around the world.

"You say you're open for business, you're cutting red tape, you're cutting taxes on business. That's Trumpian," "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney said to Ford in a segment Tuesday.

"Well, I don't know," the premier responded. "We were in politics well before the president was."

Ford's father, Doug Ford Sr., served as an Ontario MPP from 1995 to 1999, and the premier sat on Toronto city council from 2010 to 2014 during his late brother Rob Ford's infamous tenure as mayor.
