    When a Fox News anchor is piping hot over the president, then you know Donald Trump is messed up. Trump gave a horrible, impromptu press conference Thursday that left even Fox News anchor Shepard Smith tight. “It’s crazy what we’re watching every day,” Smith said after Trump’s news conference. “It’s absolutely crazy.
