Trump hangs up on NPR interview

ElChupacabra said:
I heard the ad for it last night on NPR and didn't think I heard correctly; I was surprised Trump agreed to it. That being the case, I'm not sure what he was expecting, but surely questions about his election claims and 1/6/2021 were sure to be on the docket. The former is the core of what he keeps talking about, and the latter is current due to the investigations into the event.

Believe it not, outside of loon DEm circles there are more important things going on other than January 6th.

I'll repeat a third time. Trump didn't bring it up, the reporter did. And he was clearly only interested in trolling the former President. Rather messed up given that he started the interview explaining that they've been trying to get him on the program for six years- And you start to troll your guest a minute into the interview..

This was about the reporter trying to make it about himself making news rather than an honest interview.

Why shouldn't the reporter ask Trump about things Trump is doing? I'm confused.

Because that is all your loon media covers. We've heard it. 10,000 times. How about asking him about the economy, inflation, omicron, Russia, what he would be doing differently?

Sure, but in Trump circles there seems to be little else going on other than losing the election. It's been on repeat mode through all of his rallies for months and is still something he talks about frequently. The thing is in this interview he didn't get an opportunity to just say the same things without being challenged unlike his rallies.

Trump hasn't shut up about the election.

You're just mad that Trump looked like an idiot when asked basic ass questions. "What would you say to Americans about vaccines?" And he had to get asked a second time to actually address the question.

You're deflecting. You want to blame Trump's choice on anybody but Trump. People like you just never can take responsibility.
 
Trump would pulverize Biden in a debate should they both run!

He grifted his way into the White House. He has deep understanding of his customer base. I mean this in all sincerity. Until he is contained
in a secure room with padded walls, none of us are safe. His base is a hornet's nest. He made a bargain with them but even he cannot reason
with them because unlike the high functioning component of him (TFG), they are

"...Raw Story: In your opinion, what are the emotions driving Donald Trump's base?

Bandy X. Lee: The sense of grandiose omnipotence that he displays seems especially appealing to his emotionally-needy followers. No matter what the world says, he fights back against criticism, continues to lie in the face of truth, and above all is still president. What matters is that he is winning, not whether he is honest or law-abiding. This may seem puzzling to the rest of us, but when you are overcome with feelings of powerlessness, this type of cartoonish, exaggerated force is often more important than true ability. This is the more primitive morality, as we call it, of “might makes right,” which in normal development you grow out of by age five.

But, in this case, Trump appeals to that childlike degree of emotional development? Why?

Strongman-type personalities are very appealing in times of socioeconomic or political crisis, as the population is less able to think rationally but is rather overcome with fear, or desire to draw strength from fantastical ideas. This happens to normal people in times of stress, or to people whose development has been stunted because of emotional injury. The problem is, the person who promises the impossible and states, “I alone can fix it,” and gives himself an A+ on his performance, is not a strong person who can deliver but the opposite. So Mr. Trump’s “base“ looks for someone to rescue them and their intense yearning does not allow them to see through his deception, while Mr. Trump senses better than anyone their needs (they are his) and makes use of them for his own benefit—even as he disdains his supporters for being so gullible. In this manner, they fulfill each other’s emotional needs in a mutually unhealthy way...."

I find it boring. Again. We've heard it 10,000 times. "I was cheated" "You're a liar" Boring.

This guy missed a golden opportunity with his trolling.

Because nobody cares what he would do differently.

He's out there yapping about the stolen election. He hosts rallies and talks about it, and here you are pouting when someone actually asks him a question about it. Just like Trump pouted.

Wouldn't you like to learn more about if he could have gotten the Justice Dept. to declare fraud even though they found now how he would "take care of the rest?"

No. I've gotten over the 2020 election. I think the klieg light he has shined on the issue will help insure more transparent elections going forward. Everyone is finally watching.
 
"Mr. Trump, what was going through your mind when you tweeted to the rioters that Pence had betrayed them?"
 
President Trump has finally responded to this incident with a powerful announcement!

Trump has set that stage for himself, and seems to be content in keeping the show going. It's certainly been a great way for him to keep raising money by repeating the same concept, so there doesn't seem to be a financial incentive for him to stop.
