Trump wrote on Truth Social, “The Great Lou Dobbs has just passed away.”
“A friend and a truly amazing reporter, journalist, and artist.” He knew more about the world and what was “happening” than most people.
“Lou was one of a kind, and he loved our country.” We’re very sorry for his wonderful wife Debi’s loss and for their whole family. We will miss him a lot
The cause of death was not given right away.
Before working at Fox News and CNN, Dobbs was a reporter for the Arizona radio station KBLU, where he covered police and fire cases.
Around the middle of the 1970s, he switched to working in television and joined NBC’s King-TV in Seattle.
Dobbs was also one of the first reporters to work for CNN when Ted Turner started the network in 1980.
He joined as the show’s chief economics correspondent and host of the business news show Moneyline.
While working at CNN, Dobbs spread the controversial idea that Barack Obama, who was running for president at the time, was not born in the United States.
