LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the midst of the drama surrounding former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker's testimony at Donald Trump's hush money criminal trial, Fox News host Jesse Watters honed in on a particular aspect: Pecker's assertion, made under oath, that Trump was "popular with the ladies."

This revelation, underscored by Watters during a segment on 'The Five', garnered attention for its portrayal of Trump's romantic life.

Jesse Watters highlights Pecker's testimony on Trump's romantic life

Watters kicked off the segment by referencing the prosecution's focus on Pecker's "catch and kill" strategy aimed at suppressing negative stories about Trump, which Watters deemed legally permissible.

However, he emphasized Pecker's testimony regarding Trump's romantic pursuits, highlighting the statement that Trump was renowned as the "most eligible bachelor" and had relationships with "the most beautiful women."

Watters then added, “He also testified under oath that Trump was popular with the ladies,” specifying Pecker's remark, “Mr Trump was well known as the most eligible bachelor and dated the most beautiful women.”



 

Media focus on trial dynamics and Trump's response

While Watters seized upon Pecker's testimony, other media outlets, such as The Washington Post, delved into different angles of the trial. The Post's coverage scrutinized Trump's interactions with the media outside the courtroom and noted Justice Juan Merchan did not "immediately issue a ruling" on the alleged gag order violations but had a "testy" exchange with the former president's lawyer Todd Blanche.

Referring to the trial as the "Salem Trump Trials," Watters echoed Trump's characterization of the proceedings as a "kangaroo court." He dismissed concerns about Trump's media engagements and gag order violations as attempts to "muzzle" the leading presidential candidate's voice during a critical election period.

Trump himself has been vocal about the trial, addressing the media before each session. On Tuesday, he expressed dissatisfaction with the courtroom conditions and attributed the trial to political motives, placing blame on President Joe Biden.

Internet reacts to Jesse Watters' comments on Trump's relationships

One user said on X, "Yep! Popular with the ladies, all while married to another. Not eligible bachelor. Just a rich, spoiled, philanderer on the make . Apparently, Jesse’s role model."



 

Another said, "See being married doesn’t stop Republicans from get some on the side. Trump, Newt, Rudy, Hannity and Watters himself all stepped out on their wives."



 

One user commented, "Something is wrong with Jesse I think."



 

Another replied, "Funny how some can twist words."



 

Someone added, "Since Jesse cheated on his own wife he thinks that's awesome."
