“I think he has kept the fight up with the press, which a lot of his supporters are really pleased with. I mean I think that’s really who he defeated during the election, was the press,” Beck said.

Beck did not support Trump during the presidential election and has since criticized the president for not delivering on various campaign promises.

Beck during the appearance also dismissed a recent poll that showed Trump’s supporters are still standing by the commander in chief.

“So I feel like that’s kind of a misleading poll in some regard because I don’t think people feel they had, if they had to take it all over again I think they’d do the same thing because they didn’t feel they had a choice on either side,” said Beck.
