Why was Trump's Newsmax interview considered a disaster?
What did I just watch? Look at Donald Trump here throughout this interview on Newsmax with Greg Kelly this evening. He looked like he was going to fall asleep the entire time. Sleepy Donald with his eyes closed as he spent most of the interview whining about the 2020 election and saying the 2020 election was rigged. Here, play this clip. Before
And most people knew it before too. But you mentioned something today, Ashley Babbitt. I'm going to look into that because what happened to Ashley Babbitt is so sad. That whole story, that whole period of time. And what they did was so bad. There were so many forces at work that people are starting to find out about it. It was an evil period of time.
And then a very lethargic, a very fatigued and sleepy Donald Trump said that he was saved by God to save the country. A demented man. Play this clip.
I think, you know, somebody said that God saved me in order to save this country. This country was going down, Greg. If this election wasn't won, this country had no chance. This country is going to be, remember I used to say for years, we're going to be Venezuela on steroids. And that's what was happening to the country. And now we're turning it around. And I think we're turning it around fast.
I said before, demented man, a demented thing. Here, Donald Trump talks about tariffs, and he says the deals that were made by my predecessors on these trade deals were so bad. Donald, the big trade deal with Canada and Mexico, the USMCA, it's your deal. It was your deal. Play this clip.
But we've been ripped off as a country like nobody, like no country has ever been ripped off before. I read some of these deals that are made by my predecessors, and it's almost like saying, how could anybody allow this to happen? Like, as an example, who would allow men to play in women's sports?
Then Donald Trump and this host, Greg Kelly, walk around the Oval Office. And then Greg Kelly looks at portraits of George Washington, Andrew Jackson, and Ronald Reagan. And Greg Kelly's like, just look at all of these people. They're like you. They're like you. And then Donald's like, yeah, that's why I like you to interview you.
And he falls asleep.
Just watch this, play this clip.
They all look like, you know, old timey guys. This will start people talking and the inevitable comparison to you. And I think you win that comparison.
I've heard you say that. That's why I like, that's why I do interviews with this guy. When you say that. But you know what I mean?
I mean, we're watching the outtakes from idiocracy, not even idiocracy, the outtakes from idiocracy. Donald Trump then talks about why his national security advisor, defense secretary, and others were discussing war plans on a group text message thread and invited a reporter, Jeffrey Goldberg, onto the thread. What he says makes no sense. Play this clip.
What it was, we believe, is somebody that was on the line with permission, somebody that was with Mike Waltz, worked for Mike Waltz at a lower level, had, I guess, Goldberg's number or called through the app. And somehow this guy ended up on the call. Now, it wasn't classified, as I understand it. There was no classified information. There was no problem. And the attack was a tremendous success. So I can only go by what I've been told. I wasn't involved in it, but I was told by and the other people weren't involved at all. But I feel very comfortable, actually.
You were on the phone with Donald Trump. He's amazed by the word groceries. He goes, groceries? Groceries, have you heard of this word? All the groceries are going down. No, they're not. What world are you living in? The prices are not going down. You are tanking the economy, though. Play this clip.
They talked about the price of groceries and how expensive it was. And I campaigned on it, in all fairness. I haven't used the word grocery. It's like an old-fashioned word. But really, it's not. And people understand it. And I campaigned very hard on groceries. And they're coming down very much. If you look at your gasoline prices, it's really coming down tremendously.
