Former President Donald Trump lost it over Kamala Harris during a chaotic phone-in interview on Fox News that came to an awkward end Thursday night, the last night of the Democratic National Convention.
“She’s gonna give a tax increase of four to five times what people and companies are paying right now,” Trump said of the vice president as dial tones interrupted him, apparently generated by someone pressing the buttons on his phone.
The Republican nominee posted through Harris’ acceptance speech, asking if the Democratic nominee was “TALKING ABOUT” him.
He then took to the conservative network, where he dismissed Harris’ polling numbers.
“There’s been a huge appeal and momentum for women voters, she’s trying to pull the youth vote, the Hispanic vote, the Black vote back in her direction,” said Fox News’ Martha MacCallum. “So what are you gonna do? What’s your strategy to rebuild the momentum that you had with those voters?”
“No, she’s not having success. I’m having success,” declared Trump, touting his support among women along with Black and Hispanic people.
Host Bret Baier tried to cut in, as time ticked down before the start of Greg Gutfeld’s show. But Trump continued, ranting about Democrats throwing President Joe Biden “out of the party.”
“And that’s why we saw a different night tonight,” MacCallum said, trying to wrap him.
“They did the same thing that they did to RFK,” said Trump.
“Mr. President, thank you so much,” Baier added.
“OK, thank you very much,” Trump said as the call came to a quick end, before the hosts tossed to Gutfeld.
Gutfeld, at the start of his late-night program, made reference to the interview’s swift conclusion.
“That wasn’t my fault, Donald Trump,” he said.
This might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
