Of course Trump would defend Ailes they are basically the same misogynist anti-feminist kind of persons. Also, Ailes made it possible for someone this misogynist to become the Republican Nominee. Why wouldn't he thank Ailes for this?
Also, they likely both slept with more than 100 women each and are a part of the Good Ole Boy Network of the 1950s and early 1960s like the series "Madmen" on TV. Is this who you want to be your president?

Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump defended Roger Ailes on Sunday, calling the embattled former Fox News chief a “very, very good person.”
Ailes
resigned as CEO
on Thursday following a sexual harassment scandal that included dozens
of women, including Fox News hosts Megyn Kelly and Gretchen Carlson, the
latter of whom first broke her silence earlier this month.
In an interview that aired
Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump declined to comment when asked
to confirm reports that Ailes was advising his presidential campaign.
“But he’s been a friend of mine for a long time,” Trump added. “And I
can tell you that some of the women that are complaining, I know how
much he’s helped them. And even recently. And when they write books that
are fairly recently released, and they say wonderful things about him.”
“And now all of a sudden they’re saying these horrible things about
him,” he continued. “It’s very sad. Because he’s a very good person.
I’ve always found him to be just a very, very good person. And by the
way, a very, very talented person. Look what he’s done. So I feel very
badly.”
The Manhattan real estate mogul continued to stoke speculation,
however, telling NBC’s Chuck Todd that “a lot of people are thinking”
Ailes is “going to run my campaign.”
In a separate interview on ABC’s “This Week,” however, Trump campaign
chairman Paul Manafort denied the reports of Ailes’ role in the
operation.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
