Democrat News

Vice President Kamala Harris’ combative interview on Fox News delivered an average of 7.1 million viewers Wednesday, the Democratic presidential nominee’s most-watched TV news appearance so far.

The Democratic presidential nominee’s conversation with the conservative-leaning network’s chief political anchor Bret Baier delivered the largest audience for his program, “Special Report,” since 2020, according to Nielsen data.

The audience also surpassed Harris’ interview on the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes,” which was watched by 5.7 million on Oct. 10, and her chat with anchor Dana Bash on CNN alongside running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, which drew 6.3 million viewers on Aug. 29.

Harris’ appearance was highly anticipated as she is subjected to negative commentary by the vast majority of Fox News commentators throughout the day.

Earlier on Wednesday, Tyrus, a professional wrestler who regularly appears on the Fox News programs “Gutfeld!” and “The Five,” predicted that Harris’ Republican opponent former President Trump is on track for one of the largest electoral vote victories in history, even though nearly every poll shows the two candidates are in a tight race.

Harris’ performance on “Special Report” was lambasted by hosts Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity in the hours following the interview.

But the Harris campaign agreed to appear on Fox News in an effort to reach undecided voters who have misgivings about Trump. Fox News, the most-watched cable news channel, has cited research data showing it reaches a large number of voters who identify as Democrats or are not affiliated with a political party.

Walz appeared on “Fox News Sunday” for the last two weeks.

Harris has been criticized by commentators on Fox News and other outlets for only agreeing to appearances on media outlets supportive of her candidacy, even though she appeared on “60 Minutes” while Trump canceled his scheduled sit-down on the same program. Trump also said he would not participate in a presidential debate moderated by Baier and his Fox News colleague Martha MacCallum.

Baier aggressively questioned Harris on the current administration’s immigration policy and pressed her to define her differences with President Biden, who dropped out of his reelection campaign in July.

The confrontational exchanges on “Special Report” offered a stark contrast to a town hall-style program shown earlier in the day on Fox News with Trump. The event taped in Georgia on Tuesday was in front of an audience largely supportive of the former president, who faced no hostile questioning.

Baier interrupted Harris a number of times during their interview, which led to criticism among some pundits. The anchor said later that he was trying to keep the vice president from running out the clock with long answers.

The Harris campaign agreed to a 25- to 30-minute taped interview held in Washington Crossing, Pa., and it was aired in its entirety without editing. After the interview aired, Baier described how Harris aides vigorously signaled him to wrap up once the time limit was reached.

But some allies and critics of Harris believed the appearance was a success because it showed the candidate was willing to stand up to tough queries.

“Combative interviews can be good,” Jon Favreau, host of “Pod Save America,” wrote on X. “Going on Fox can be good. You just have to be prepared (she was) and stand your ground (she did!).”

“The left is angrily denouncing Bret Baier for interrupting Kamala Harris and being rude,” conservative commentator Erick Erickson wrote on X. “That tells me all I need to know. Kudos for Harris going on Fox News.”

Trump’s town hall with Univision was a train wreck, so expect most of our corporate media to just ignore it. Here’s one of the questions he was asked by a Latino farmer, Jorge Velásquez, who had concerns about Trump’s plans for mass deportations.

VELASQUEZ: For many years, I have worked with these hands, hunched over, picking strawberries and cutting broccoli. This tough job is mainly done by undocumented people. If you deport to these people, who would do that job and what price would we pay for food?

Trump’s response. To lie once again about immigrants supposedly coming from countries that were “emptying out” jails and “mental institutions”.

Here’s his meandering response where he never actually addresses the farmer’s concerns:

TRUMP: So, the problem we have is, we had people coming in under my administration, and they were coming in legally, they were coming in through a system that we had, which was great. Because I’m the best thing that ever happened to farmers.

You know that. I was great. You know, farmers are doing very badly right now, very, very badly under this administration. Under my administration, farmers did very well. We have to have a lot of people come into our country.

We just want them to come in legally through a system because they’ve released hundreds of thousands of people that are murderers, drug dealers, terrorists, they’re coming in totally. Nobody knows who they are, where they come from.

And the people that are most against it are the Hispanic people. They are totally against it, what’s happened. The other thing I can say is that a lot of the jobs that you have and that other people have are being taken by these people that are coming in.

And the African American population and the Hispanic population in particular are losing jobs now because millions of people are coming in. So they’re coming in, but they’re also coming in largely and tremendous numbers coming in out of mental institutions.

They’re emptying out mental institutions. They’re emptying out insane asylums. That’s a step above a mental institution. Worse, bigger, bigger problems, bigger problem people. They’re emptying out jails.

Their jails are being led into our country from Venezuela, but not just South America. From all over the world, they’re being led in. From jails, from nobody’s ever seen anything like it. The jail population throughout the world has come way down, and it’s all coming into the United States of America.

So we want workers, and we want them to come in, but they have to come in legally. They have to love our country. They have to love you, love our people. The problem with this administration is they’ve totally lost control.

As Raw Story noted:

A June report from The Guardian revealed that farmers have turned away from Trump in recent years because he cost them so much in profits as Foreign Policy reported. He then tried to buy farmers with direct payments, but as economists explained to Politico, it wasn’t sustainable.

Trump claims that farmers have done horribly under the Biden administration. As the USDA charted, farmers reached “record highs in 2022,” and while “farm sector income is forecast to fall in 2024,” the report said it would be “at a slower rate than it fell in 2023.”

Meanwhile, the massive agricultural company John Deere debunked his claim this week that his threat of tariffs in his first administration had supposedly saved workers.

The US Federal Trade Commission has finally adopted the ‘click to cancel’ rule, which aims to make it easier for people to end subscriptions. It will force companies to make subscription sign-ups and cancellations equally straightforward. Via BBC:

Businesses, including retailers and gyms, will also have to get consent from customers before renewing subscriptions or converting free trials into paid memberships.

The new rule is due to come into effect in around six months’ time.

“Too often, businesses make people jump through endless hoops just to cancel a subscription,” said FTC chair Lina Khan.

“The FTC’s rule will end these tricks and traps, saving Americans time and money. Nobody should be stuck paying for a service they no longer want.”

Here’s my favorite part. Businesses will be banned from forcing customers to go though a chatbot or an agent to cancel subscriptions that were originally signed up to using an app or website.

For memberships that customers signed up to in person, businesses will have to offer the option to terminate them by calling by phone or online.

Woo hoo! No more charges that go on and on and on… Thank you, Ms. Khan. Thank you, President Biden.

Fox’s Laura Ingraham and Eric Trump give his father the Dear Leader treatment, pretending his train wreck of an interview at the Economic Club of Chicago was a great success while attacking Kamala Harris for never having run a business.

The knives were out after Harris made an appearance on Fox during a contentious interview with Bret Baier, and this segment on The Ingraham Angle, and this segment attacking Harris for that interview while gloating over Trump reminded me of something from North Korean television.

Here’s the back and forth where Ingraham gets the name of the economic forum wrong. Trump appeared at the Economic Club of Chicago the day prior to this interview, not the Detroit Economic Club (which was also a disaster, by the way.)

INGRAHAM: But just I want to I want to go back to your dad was at the Detroit Economic Club yesterday, and put on I thought was just like a master class, that phrase is used too frequently, but it really was a master class in leverage, negotiations, why tariffs are an important tool in negotiations.

And I thought to myself, Kamala Harris could not do that if her life depended on it. Explain the Federal Reserve. What does it do? Explain how, you know, you know, the Fed works with interest rates. How does that affect markets? Could you think she could do that? I mean, I know you probably you’re going to say no, but she couldn’t do that again if if their life depended on.

TRUMP: Well, I mean, Laura, she’s never actually had a real job, right? I mean, she’s been the federal government her her entire adult life. She’s never signed the front of a check. I mean, she’s she’s never run a business. She’s never actually had to be on the receiving end of the very policies that she puts in.

I mean, she wants to have a tax on unrealized gains in this country. And congratulations, everybody in this country is bankrupt. I mean, you again, see her policies for San Francisco and how damaging they’d be.

I was so proud of my father. I mean, that whole audience, they were standing up.

INGRAHAM: Yeah, I loved it.

TRUMP: They were I love clapping. I mean, he’s he’s 100 percent right. He’s been right about tariffs. And it’s the greatest negotiating tool in the world. Don’t take your companies out of the United States.

INGRAHAM: But she couldn’t talk about it.

TRUMP: Aside from of course, she couldn’t. But aside from the… don’t take your companies out of the U .S., we’re also going to make the United States the most business friendly place in the world. Right? I mean, we’re going to have the lowest taxes, the best business environment, the lowest regulations.

We’re going to bring the wealth of the world to the United States. Right? And we’re also not allow, you know, countries around the world to rip us off. I was so proud of him yesterday. I thought he was he was awesome.

INGRAHAM: And it was positive. It was very positive. It was like, we’re going to we’re going to rock this and have fun doing it. Eric, this was wild. But I enjoyed watching this because the contrast between Trump and her, I mean, it was phenomenal.

The New Republic described the interview a bit differently: Trump Lashes Out at Live Fact-Checks During Disaster of an Interview:

Donald Trump insisted on bulldozing through gibberish answers during the train-wreck interview.

Donald Trump’s sit-down interview Tuesday with the Economic Club of Chicago went completely off the rails as the Republican presidential nominee struggled to offer concrete answers to a business-minded crowd, and miraculously performed even worse as he was fact-checked live onstage.

The Bloomberg News–sponsored event was intended to cover massive ground. Bloomberg’s top editor, John Micklethwait, pressed Trump on issues ranging from immigration, proposed tariffs, the dissolution of some of America’s biggest corporations, foreign policy with regard to Taiwan, and ultimately to the country’s fate post–Election Day. But Trump, seemingly, wasn’t prepared with answers.

The former president elicited groans from the crowd while dodging questions about his proposed foreign tariff plan, which includes a 200 percent tariff (which Trump insinuated could even be as high as 2,000 percent) on foreign cars.

Read the rest of the article for more of Trump’s idiocy that day, along with our posts here, and here, but here are even more of the idiotic things he said that they’re pretending were brilliant.

Donald Trump got wind of the ongoing issue surrounding gender identity and women’s volleyball in the Mountain West Conference and declared Wednesday during a town hall on Fox News Channel’s “The Faulkner Focus” that if elected he would ban all transgender women from competing in women’s sports.

Four universities have forfeited matches against the Spartans following controversy over the gender identity of one of the team’s players.

Answering a question about transgender athletes, Trump referenced a play last week showing a San Jose State women’s volleyball player spiking a ball that hit a San Diego State player in the arms, briefly knocking her down. The player successfully kept the ball in play with the dig and immediately stood up and smiled.

A video of the play circulated on social media accompanied by claims that the San Diego State player was hit on the head while noting that the San Jose State player is transgender.

“I saw the slam, it was a slam. I never saw a ball hit so hard, hit the girl in the head,” Trump said. “But other people, even in volleyball, they’ve been permanently, I mean, they’ve been really hurt badly. Women playing men. But you don’t have to do the volleyball. We stop it. We stop it. We absolutely stop it. You can’t have it.

“You just ban it. The president bans it. You just don’t let it happen.”

San Diego State issued a statement disputing Trump’s characterization of the play, saying, “It has been incorrectly reported that a San Diego State University student-athlete was hit in the face with a volleyball during match play with San Jose State University. The ball bounced off the shoulder of the student-athlete, and the athlete was uninjured and did not miss a play. We have called for corrections from multiple media outlets.”

San Diego State won the match in straight sets. It was one of three conference matches played by San Jose State since the identity of the transgender player became public, and the Spartans have lost all three.

Boise State, Southern Utah, Utah State and Wyoming forfeited matches this season against San Jose State, with none of the schools explicitly saying why.

The issue will again come to a head Oct. 26 when San Jose State is scheduled to play at Nevada, whose players voted to forfeit the match while the school insisted it be played. Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin and Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sam Brown attended Nevada’s match against Utah State on Tuesday in Reno to support the players.

The politicians had been at a campaign event for Trump in nearby Carson City, possibly giving the issue the national attention that Trump seized upon a day later.

“For us, it always came down to … equal opportunity, fair play on the court,” Nevada team captain Sia Liilii told the Reno Gazette Journal. “Women have fought so hard to get to the point where we are, playing D1 volleyball and having matches like this. For someone who is a biological male to come in is not fair.”

The Nevada administration released a statement explaining why the match against San Jose State should be played:

“The University and its athletic programs are governed by the Nevada Constitution and Nevada law, which strictly protect equality of rights under the law, and that equality of rights shall not be denied or abridged by this state or any of its subdivisions on account of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry or national origin. The University is also governed by federal law as well as the rules and regulations of the NCAA and the Mountain West Conference, which include providing competition in an inclusive and supportive environment.”

Despite the university making its stance clear, Liilii said the team will not play San Jose State. She is one of several players who have retained lawyer Joey Gilbert, who has a history of taking up right-wing causes including representing a Nevada school district in its efforts to bar transgender students from local athletic competitions.

“I know what our team is going to do, and we are going to have integrity,” Liilii told the Gazette Journal.

The NCAA adopted new rules a year ago pertaining to transgender athletes, who must document sport-specific testosterone levels at the beginning of their season and again six months later. They also must document testosterone levels four weeks before championship selections.

“We are steadfast in our support of transgender student-athletes and the fostering of fairness across college sports,” said John DeGioia, chair of the NCAA board of governors and Georgetown president. “It is important that NCAA member schools, conferences and college athletes compete in an inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment and can move forward with a clear understanding of the new policy.”

Nevertheless, the schools that forfeited volleyball matches have the backing of politicians in their states. Idaho’s Republican Gov. Brad Little recently signed an executive order barring sports teams at Boise State and other public schools in the state from playing against teams with transgender athletes.

A federal judge blocked Idaho from becoming the first U.S. state to enact a ban on transgender women competing in female public school sports in 2020, upholding a challenge by a transgender Boise State student. Idaho. Atty. Gen. Raúl Labrador requested that the U.S. Supreme Court review the ruling, noting that Idaho is one of 25 states that have passed laws restricting transgender athletes from competing on teams that align with their gender identity.

Wyoming’s decision to forfeit was backed by Gov. Mark Gordon in a social media post: “I am in full support of the decision by @wyoathletics to forego playing its volleyball match against San Jose State. It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics.”

Mountain West schools UNLV and New Mexico have said they will play scheduled matches against San Jose State.

The issue became public when San Jose State co-captain Brooke Slusser joined a lawsuit in September against the NCAA filed by former All-American swimmer and anti-trans-athlete activist Riley Gaines. The suit alleges that NCAA transgender eligibility policies violate Title IX and the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause.

Slusser alleges in the lawsuit that the inclusion of a transgender player on the women’s team poses an unfair advantage and safety hazards. Slusser also alleges that she was assigned to share a room with her teammate without being informed they were transgender. This is the third season the transgender player has been on the San Jose State roster.

Slusser appeared on a Fox News program and granted an interview to conservative sports site Outkick, where she accused the school of forcing her to live with a transgender teammate and demanded the teammate be banned from the team.

San Jose State told the San Francisco Chronicle it has had no reports of anyone being significantly injured in their volleyball matches or practices over the last several seasons. The school continues to support the inclusion of the transgender player on the team.

“At San Jose State, we condemn any targeted campaign against any of our students, and we will continue to live the values outlined in the California State University Non-Discrimination Policy,” the school said in a statement. “Our athletes all comply with NCAA and Mountain West Conference policies and they are eligible to play under the rules of those organizations.”

San Jose State coach Todd Kress spoke recently about the impact of the issue on his players. Social media has been rife with exaggerations about the physicality of the transgender player and how hard they hit the ball, Kress said, and his players have received hate mail.

“There have been outside forces who have sought to divide our team, our university, our conference and our sport,” he said. “I know it’s been weighing on the players in our locker room who have put in years of hard work.

“Some of [the hate mail], to be honest, is disgusting …. At some point, the people that are sending those messages, I think they need to wake up, look at themselves in the mirror and really question who they are as human beings, and what their end game is. Is their end game to try to damage the mental health of 19-, 20-year-old athletes?

“I just have faith that we’ll eventually be able to put the outside noise aside and be able to play for each other and find love for one another again.”

CNN host Anderson Cooper told former California Lieutenant Governor Abel Maldonado, a Trump supporter, he’s full of shit for moronically claiming Trump speaks like a fascist because he’s from New York.

CNN is hosting a few Trump supporters who are trying to become the next Jeffrey Lord, a man who spewed racism and unhinged defenses of Donald Trump in 2016.

MALDONADO: And you know who he was, you know who he is. That’s who he is. Trump is not gonna change ever.

BERNSTEIN: Is he a fascist?

MALDONADO: I mean, no, he’s not a fascist, Carl. He’s not.

BERNSTEIN: Does he say fascistic things?

MALDONADO: I mean, look.

BERNSTEIN: Does he say fascistic things?

MALDONADO: He’s a New Yorker, he’s a fighter, he’s a leader.

BERNSTEIN: New Yorkers who fight don’t usually invoke fascism. Does he say fascistic things day after day?

MALDONADO: I don’t see, Carl, I don’t see that.

COOPER: But also, Abel, by the way, you’re from California. The Central Park, the kids in the Central Park Five, they were actually New Yorkers.

So the idea that Donald Trump’s a New Yorker and this is what New Yorkers say is just bullshit.

MALDONADO: I’m from California, and I mean, we look at New York as, you know, they’re fighters, they’re strong, they tell it like it is, they’ll say it out loud, they’re very-

COOPER: But that’s a comic book. I mean, again, we’re just like, there’s eight million people in the city, and so the idea, anyway.

Being a New Yorker myself, I find beyond ridiculous Maldonado’s claims that New Yorkers speak like fascists. It might be one of the most laughable defenses of Trump I’ve heard so far.

It was nice to hear Cooper not hold back and let Maldonado have it.

Trump speaks and acts like a Fascist because he is one.

Donald J. Trump addressed a town hall audience of undecided Latino voters for Univision Wednesday in Miami, and it’s safe to say that, judging by the crowd’s expressions, he didn’t win their support. Trump tried and failed to defend his baseless pet-eating allegations, which have rocked Springfield, Ohio.

Ramiro González, a construction worker and a Republican voter, politely gave the former President the “opportunity to try to win back my vote,” explaining that he wondered why Trump “waited so long to take action” during the deadly Jan. 6 riots.

“Okay, your, let me say, action and maybe inaction during your presidency and the last few years, sort of, you know, was a little disturbing to me,” González said. “You know, what happened during Jan. 6 and the fact that you know, you waited so long to take action while your supporters were attacking the Capitol.”

“Coronavirus, I thought we were, the public was misled during coronavirus and that many, many more lives could have been saved if we would have been informed better,” he continued. “And also people in your administration who don’t support you. I’m curious how people so close to you and your administration no longer want to support you.”

“So why would I want to support you?” he asked. “If you would answer these questions for me, I would really appreciate it and give you the opportunity. There’s, you know, your own vice president doesn’t want to support you now.”

Things got weird.

“So the people that don’t support, a very small portion, we have a tremendous, about 97% of the people in the administration support me,” Trump insisted. “But because it’s me, somebody doesn’t support, they get a little publicity.”

“The vice president, I disagree with him on what he did,” Trump said. “I totally disagreed with him on what he did. Very importantly, you had hundreds of thousands of people come to Washington. They didn’t come because of me. They came because of the election.”

“They thought the election was a rigged election, and that’s why they came,” he said. “Some of those people went down to the Capitol. I said, peacefully and patriotically, nothing done wrong at all, nothing done wrong. And action was taken, strong action.”

“Ashley Babbitt was killed, nobody was killed, Trump said as if that makes any sense. “There were no guns down there; we didn’t have guns. The others had guns, but we didn’t have guns.”

“And when I say we, these are people that walked down,” he continued. “This was a tiny percentage of the overall, which nobody sees and nobody shows. But that was a day of love from the standpoint of the millions, it’s like hundreds of thousands.”

“They asked me to speak, I went, and I spoke,” he insisted. “And I used the term peacefully and patriotically. If you look at the Democrats, what they say, you look at Maxine Waters, and you look at Hillary Clinton.”

It took off online:

Trump said, “We,” referring to the insurrectionists, but when he said, “The others had guns,” he was referring to the police who were beaten with flagpoles by his unruly mob of supporters. Interesting.

Fox News Harris Faulkner hosted a room full of Trump supporting women; dubbed it a town hall and introduced him as if he was Queen Elizabeth II.

Before Trump made his entrance the ladies were screaming and clapping there hands like banshees in a ginned up MAGA cult propaganda extravaganza.

The only thing missing was a row of Trumpets and a red carpet.

It was nauseating.

FAULKNER: Along with me, the former president, all women, they put very specific and sometimes very personal questions to Trump on issues which matter most to them.

The economy, crime, safety, abortion, child care, illegal immigration, protecting women and girls in sports, those questions and Trump’s answers now.

I want to introduce the 45th president of the United States, the Republican nominee for this year’s presidential election, Donald J. Trump.

Welcome.

TRUMP: Thank you.

Trump’s make-up changed from his usual orange to a deep burnt red today.

Very weird.

Trump did a sit-down interview Tuesday with the Economic Club of Chicago, and it was, in no uncertain terms, a sh*t show.

Any credible observer viewing Trump’s weaving, bobbing, rambling, and ignorant non-sequitur responses to all the questions John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News asked him would say it was an unmitigated disaster.

Rolling Stone‘s headline reads: Trump Crumbles When Pressed on Economic Policy in Tense Interview

The grilling exposed Trump’s total cluelessness with regard to his own economic policy, and led Trump to attack Micklethwait as biased. When questioned about the specifics of his plan, and if he was aware of its pitfalls, Trump seemed ignorant of basic economic principles, insisting that other countries, not American consumers, would pay for the tariffs.

Micklethwait tried to explain the actual impact. “Three-trillion worth of imports and you will add tariffs to every single one of them, and push up the cost for all of these people to buy foreign goods,” he said. “That is just simple mathematics.”
Trump countered that he was “always good at mathematics,” and that high tariffs — and thus costs — would force companies to move production into the United States.

Enter Sean Hannity of Fox News. Watching his program last night, one would think he was watching a different interview. That is until he played video with Trump’s nonsensical replies.

HANNITY: Former President Donald Trump absolutely schooled Bloomberg’s editor-in-chief today during a live appearance at the Economic Club of Chicago.

Despite things getting a little heated at times, Trump, frankly, masterfully navigated the situation, laid out what was a clear vision for American prosperity.

Let’s take a look.

Hannity played a short edited clip of Trump denying the truth about tariffs, but the edits tried to make it appear he was correct.

MICKLETHWAIT: You’re going to add tariffs to every single one of them. That is going to push up the cost for all those people who want to buy foreign goods. Now, what’s going to happen? That is just simple mathematics, President Trump.

TRUMP: It’s not. {Huh?} Yeah, it is, but not the way you figured. I was always very good at mathematics.

The higher the tariff, the more likely it is that the company will come into the United States and build a factory in the United States so it doesn’t have to pay the tariff.

MICKLETHWAIT: The overall effect could be massive.

TRUMP: agree. I agree it’s going to have a massive effect, positive effect. It’s going to be a positive, not a negative.

Let me just tell you. No, no, let me tell you.

I know how committed you are to this, and it must be hard for you to spend 25 years talking about tariffs as being negative and then have somebody explain to you that you’re totally wrong.

Trump just told every honest economist in the country they’ve been totally wrong about the negative affects of tariffs for 25 years without explaining how they are wrong. Without giving any proof why they are wrong. Offering any examples of why he is correct. He said it’s wrong, so he is right and they are wrong.

Hannity didn’t put in Micklethwait explaining “that will take many, many, many years” for foreign countries to conform to Trump’s beleaguered thinking and build new factories.

Now who would be paying to build all these new factories? Sigh…

How is that schooling anybody?

Trump’s response is ignorant even for him.

Rachel Maddow revealed last night that Donald Trump once again attempted to silence Stormy Daniels before an election – which is kind of stunning, considering he’s awaiting sentencing on felony charges related to the last hush money payments

“We have just learned, we have reported out – 20 days before this election – we can report that he is once again trying to pay Stormy Daniels to be quiet,” Maddow said.

“In the midst of this negotiation over paying off the last legal settlement between them, Trump is trying to get another hush money deal with Stormy Daniels ahead of this election. Trump’s lawyer basically offered to take it off the bottom line. They would pretend that Stormy Daniels owed less money to Trump than they actually believed she owed if she also signed an agreement to not talk about Trump.”

Well! He just can’t stop himself, can he?
