“But by golly the patient is alive and I’d rather have this president, who gets things done, then one who comes in, he’s nice and he’s polite and he smiles, but my family member dies in the hospital bed,” he continued.

“America needs to say two words to Donald Trump, thank you,” he added.

Huckabee’s comments come after Trump issued a series of tweets last week, saying he was under investigation as a part of the federal probe into Russian election meddling.
