Well, it might be if the press lets her get away with it.

No, I mean, look, what kind of president do you want? I mean, I want the president who is fearless and willing to walk into the lion's den over and over again and answer tough questions. What you saw in that soundbite here is that Rachel Scott, the interviewer, that whatever she was doing is not journalism. This is supposed to be a journalism association. She turned that interview into an ambush.

It was it was hostile what she did and right out of the gate. I mean, the first question she's attacking him and he pushed back on it. I mean, I think you saw him push back on the media in a way that only Trump can do. Now, you also heard there, I think, a really key point that Harris basically passed on the opportunity to attend when she was originally supposed to.

That would have been a softball interview for her, but she is not willing to do any kind of interview right now. No questions, no unscripted appearances. She just wants to read from a teleprompter. That rally she did in Atlanta that had Megan Thee Stallion perform, so it was a free concert. That... drew out a huge number of people.

Then Harris spoke for 17 minutes and people were leaving five minutes in because they're just there for the concert. I guess the question that people need to ask, I understand why this is strategic for her. I mean, obviously it's better for you if you don't have to take any

positions whatsoever, and you can just abandon all of your previous positions without any explanation whatsoever, and the media gives you a free pass on that. I can understand why that's strategic. But I think that voters need to ask the question, who do you want representing the United States right now in a world that's on fire? Who do you want to stand up to Putin or Xi or make peace with them?

Who do you want to stand up to or be allies with Netanyahu, for example? The United States right now is in a very difficult situation. We can't have a teleprompter president. We need a strong president. I appreciate the fact that Trump is willing to take on all challengers. I just think it's manifestly clear that these are the qualities and traits you want in a president of the United States.

Yeah, look, I would say that in that clip and other clips from that event, I think you should pay a lot of attention to the audience's reaction, because what do they do in that moment when Trump was supposedly committing a faux pas or getting into dangerous territory? They laughed. You know, when Mitt Romney spoke to this group a number of years ago when he was running for president, he got booed.

Trump never got booed. He got a lot of laughter. There was a lot of appreciation. Why? Because Trump is always authentic. He's always who he is. Whereas Mitt Romney always appears to be scripted and frankly sort of patronizing. So I think the audience appreciated Trump for who he is. I think that when Trump goes into these areas, there's always a grain of truth to what he's saying.

I think that Harris has leaned into different parts of our heritage for different audiences. But I do think that this is ground he should get off of. And I think a much better... line of attack is to talk about the fact that she has dropped all of her left-wing policy positions and refuses to answer questions or do unscripted appearances without having a teleprompter in front of her.

I think that's a much better line of attack. And I think that's what the campaign will be about from here. I don't think we want this campaign to be about identity.
