Speaking with Daily Wire personality and podcast host Michael Knowles on Monday, November 4, Keith Schiller, the longtime bodyguard of former President Donald Trump who eventually became Trump’s Director of Oval Office Operations, spoke about how Trump’s character is far from the media depiction of him.
Such is what Schiller, who was close to Trump for decades as bodyguard and eventually director of security for the Trump Organization, said on The Daily Wire’s “Election Wire” live stream, He argued that Trump, far from being the devil the media presents him as, is really quite the gentleman and is a great guy to be around.
Knowles, broaching the subject of Trump’s personality and character during the interview, said, “The media has been saying for a decade now … [Trump] is awful and he’s a man of terrible character and everyone hates him and he’s a terrible person to be around.” He then asked Schiller for his perspective, saying, “You have the personal insight. Tell us about the man personally.”
Schiller argued that the media has just utterly lied about the former president’s character, saying, “The media has done a great job of building him up and knocking him down. The truth is in the employees and the people he touches on a daily basis. He reaches out, he has rapport with long-term people that have been at his employ.”
Further commenting on that aspect of Trump’s character and personality, Schiller noted that many of Trump’s circle have ben around him for ages and like him, which would be impossible if he were the awful person he is presented as being. He said, “If he were such a bad person, he couldn’t keep people around him. There’s people … who love him. He’s a man of the people.”
Schiller also noted that the former president, unlike many others, is someone who “knows how to connect with people” on the campaign trail. Giving an example of that, Schiller noted that Trump’s supporters will line up “for miles” to greet Trump’s motorcade. Adding to that, Schiller noted that Trump is able to connect with Americans from “all walks of life.”
Building on that point, Schiller noted, “He’s done that because he’s employed thousands upon thousands of people over the years, and he’s been able to get them behind them, make them feel a connection that’s so unique to him. He’s a very unique gentleman, right? There’s only one Donald J. Trump.”
Knowles, highlighting the interview on X, said, “I hope you’ve already voted for Trump. If you haven’t, I hope you’re planning to do so tomorrow. “If you’re still on the fence, take a listen to what a man who knows him as well as just about anyone has to say about the once and, I hope, future president.” Watch the interview here:
Trump, posting on Truth Social about the election, said, “It is now officially ELECTION DAY! This will be the most important day in American History. Voter enthusiasm is THROUGH THE ROOF because people want to Make America Great Again. That means lines are going to be long! I need you to deliver your vote no matter how long it takes. STAY IN LINE! The Radical Communist Democrats want you to pack up and go home. Together, we are going to have a tremendous victory and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
