Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appeared on “Fox & Friends” Monday, and her assessment of how President Trump is performing so far may surprise some people.

As the hosts acknowledge, Trump was not her “number one guy on the list,” but Rice had some kind words for the president.

“I think he is really starting to fill in the job,” said Rice. “He’s brought really excellent people in, great national security team — and you’re starting to see him feel what the American presidency can do.”
