“When you tweet out a thing, and this bothered me, I got to tell you.
You know that I look out for every honest politician, I don’t care what party they are in”, O’Reilly said.

OREILLY: You gotta, youre a presidential contender, you gotta check em.
The radio show Trump referenced, The Wayne Dupree Show, had nothing to do with the tweet. “It came out of a radio show and other places because you see all the names”.
The real estate mogul again reiterated that it was only a retweet, prompting a final lecture from O’Reilly. “You just handed them a platter”. They begin discussing the retweet at the 3:50 mark.
TRUMP: I have millions of people.

Trump was apparently referring to Wayne Dupree, a conservative radio host tagged in the tweet. @SeanSean252 mentioned @WayneDupreeShow in the tweet, so Trump might have been confused, but for future reference, legitimate government organizations tend not to tweet out statistics illustrated with a stock image of a thug firing a pistol.
