As Thanksgiving night came to a close, Donald Trump decided to spend some time on social media. After tweeting an attack on Obamacare, the president went on to give a shout out to Fox News host Sean Hannity, as well as internet and TV personalities and supporters "Diamond And Silk."
Trump on Hannity
Throughout the entire 2016 presidential election, it was more than obvious that Donald Trump was not going to be in good standing with the mainstream media. After Trump referred to illegal immigrants from Mexico as "rapists" and "murderers," he was at odds with the press, which has only escalated since that time.
While most in the media have come down hard on the former host of "The Apprentice," he's found a political safe space on Fox News, with host Sean Hannity being the most vocal supporter. In the year since the shocking results of the 2016 election, Hannity has continued to stand by Trump's side regardless of the controversy that has occurred. From defending the president's reckless rhetoric and questionable policy proposals, to dismissing the evidence backing the allegations of Trump's collusion with Russia, Hannity has gone out of his way to be a strong partisan voice in support of the commander in chief. After Hannity sent out a Thanksgiving tweet, the president decided to pass it along and add his own comments on November 24.
A great guy (with great ratings)! https://t.co/S0S6xqrjSC

Taking to Twitter on Thanksgiving night, Donald Trump retweeted Sean Hannity's post.
"To all my Deplorable friends, I am extremely thankful to each and every one of you for just being who you are, Great Americans! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!" Hannity tweet. In response, Trump shared Hannity's tweet, while adding, "A great guy (with great ratings)!"
Trump on Diamond and Silk
In addition to Sean Hannity's support for Donald Trump, others on the internet and on TV have taken time to stand by the president's side.
Known as "Diamond and Silk," the two outspoken internet, TV, and radio personalities have made a name for themselves by being a rare pair of female African-Americans supporters of the billionaire real estate mogul.
