With Bill O’Reilly Out at Fox News, Is there a ‘Pro-Trump Commentator Curse’?

It is truly remarkable to think that the most successful host in cable news history, who just helped get his longshot “milkshake” buddy elected President of the United States, could be let go so ignominiously. This is especially bizarre coming just a couple of months after having interviewed President Donald Trump before the Super Bowl and having the President publicly support him in an interview with The New York Times — all with his show’s ratings as high as they have ever been.

But what makes all of this even more amazing is that the fall of O’Reilly is actually part of a very real trend among the most ardently pro-Trump “conservative” commentators from the 2016 campaign.

Since TheRUMP as burned many bridges with his "fake news" claims....

Praise the Lord for Twitter?

Will the "pro Trump curse" expand to the Twitterverse?

OR

Is this a tempest in a teacup/Tea party?
