Does Bill O'Reilly Hate Donald Trump?
Bill O'Reilly interviewed Trump in his political commentary show, ‘The O'Reilly show’ on March 3. The interview went smoothly, or perhaps smoother than expected.
During the interview, O'Reilly mentioned him defending Trump last week when a minority party leader, Tavis Miley called Trump a racist arsonist. He had said to Miley that he doesn't know Trump as well as O'Reilly so, it wouldn't be wise to speak to him.

This surprised people as they were in a mentality that O'Reilly was hell-bent against Trump. Especially, after he confronted Trump so many times in the past months. He has called Trump thin-skinned and confronted him on the attack on Hillary Clinton through the use of Bill Clinton’s recent scandals. He has also mentioned that:
This is not the first time O'Reilly and Trump have come face to face. On 'The Stephen Colbert Late Show' O'Reilly had said how Trump and Bernie Sanders were practically the same people.
He also impersonated Donald Trump showing how his ideologies are based mostly on his anger towards terrorism and immigration. He also mentioned that Trump is doing a good job acknowledging people but at the same time is making promises impossible to fully complete.
Donald Trump in a way got his revenge during his interview with Bill O'Reilly after the GOP debate where as per the interview Trump mentioned that O'Reilly was very negative and after O'Reilly asked: "Am I negative?" Trump only answered, "You should ask your psychiatrist" referring to O'Reilly' marriage problems whereby he had assaulted his wife and tried to destroy her boyfriend.

There was news that he responded similarly when Ted Cruz was on his show on April 6 and started attacking Donald Trump by bringing up the topic that he kept donating his money to Democrats. But O'Reilly kept on trying to overpower the fact saying that he did it as a business person.

Finally, Ted Cruz had too much and snapped," I know, you defend him a lot, Bill." O'Reilly denied the statement, but this brought a lot of light to the viewers that O'Reilly is comparatively little favorable to Trump.
But their feelings for each other is a lot complicated because O'Reilly also mentioned that Trump had been angry with him and hence had not been on his show. Maybe Tump was angry at O'Reilly for all his past comments.
Even though Donald Trump is not someone to shy away from answering to such comments as we may know from his feuds with Megan Kelley but being a politician, he has to think carefully before pulling stunts like that.
But in reality, Trump and O'Reilly are friends for more than 30 both seem to put everything ears. But they in their line of work. Both of them appear to speak their minds, and maybe at the end of the day they consider it as "Water under the bridge
Bill O'Reilly's Tumultuous Married Life With Wife & Children
As promising as journalist O'Reilly is, His family life is equally messed up. He has had only been married once in 1996 with his then-wife Maureen McPhilmy, which ended in a divorce in 2011.

The divorce became a lot complicated in the future after the reasons for divorce surfaced years later when assault charges were pressed against O'Reilly on 2015, and then he also sued his ex-wife for 10 million dollars for cheating on him before the couple separated.
By default, Bill won the lawsuit against his ex-wife in 2017 for $10 million. Since the win, Gizmondo Media Group has been trying to unseal the documents relating to the lawsuit citing civil fraud.

He also lost the shared custody of the children after his daughter Madeline, 13 confessed witnessing the assault on McPhilmy. They also have a son, Spencer of age 16.
He denied the accusations but failed to prove it. Maybe one person can’t have everything. There were many angry followers who expressed their hatred for O'Reiley's actions. One of the Twitter users replied to his comment about violence inflicted upon Trump's fans by writing:
"Billo the clown, now he knows how your wife felt. After you beat and choked her out.
@oreillyfactor."
While another user accused media of turning a blind eye to his assaults against his ex-wife. Another Twitter user wrote:
"LOLOLOLOLOL Wow. He lied and got caught. You choked your wife."
Bill is yet to be accounted for the mistreatment of his ex-wife. As a matter of fact, he has swiftly managed to put the accusations against him under the rug and continue his ever-so-growing TV career.

"Alright, but Trump may make her cry. I mean, that could happen. Anything could happen."
