Fox NewsJesse Watters on Wednesday fawned over Donald Trump’s post-trial appearance at a Harlem bodega the day prior, highlighting onlookers’ supportive chants and insisting that the limo-riding former president—who has repeatedly claimed that shoppers have to show photo ID to simply buy a loaf of bread—“still knows the cost of living.”The Fox News host opened his show with selected clips from Trump’s stop at Sanaa Convenient Store.
