Trump gets unexpected endorsement from sidelines of WH briefing: ‘I like him!’

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Friday picked up an unexpected endorsement when a press photographer shouted, “Trump 2028!” as the commander in chief took reporters’ questions in the White House.

Girish Gaur, who works for Lindell TV, an outlet founded by pro-Trump MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, was standing off to the side of the stage when he raised his fist in the air and yelled his support for the president, surprising officials and reporters.

“I like him!” Trump responded. “He’s working the cameras.”

Gaur was responding to an exchange in which the president noted that no illegal immigrants were released into the US after being apprehended at the southwest border in May.

Lindell TV’s anchors include former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and the new network also has a dedicated White House correspondent, Cara Castronuova.

Gaur told The Post after the briefing that he considers himself “kind of an activist” rather than a reporter.

“I think as a president, he’s doing a great job,” said Gaur, who described himself as politically active for about eight years.

“I think he has, I would say, brought back America,” said the New York resident, who previously lived in Texas.

Gaur’s unorthodox disruption was minor compared to some previous incidents involving presidents.

Colorful characters among the press corps have included the late Trude Feldman, who interviewed eight presidents despite getting caught rummaging through press-office desks and allegedly filching from peers everything from cakes to a winter coat, and Jeff Gannon, who was exposed as a former gay escort in 2005 after asking fawning questions of then-President George W. Bush.
