Trump Rage-Quits NPR Interview After He's Grilled on Election-Fraud Lies

TFG is a crybaby




In those nine minutes, Trump faced a brutal line of questioning on his election conspiracy theories and the transcript shows that he was unable to cope with being asked about the glaring holes in his arguments. Since he left office last year, Trump has rarely granted interviews to reporters who haven’t been happy to play along with his election-fraud claims.

At one point, Inskeep flatly tells Trump that one of his claims is nonsense.

Trump posed the rhetorical question: “Go into Detroit and just ask yourself, is it true that there are more votes than there are voters? Look at Pennsylvania. Look at Philadelphia. Is it true that there were far more votes than there were voters?”

Inskeep informs him: “It is not true.”

Trump then went on to brag about the number of votes he got in 2020, even though that is obviously lower than the number of votes cast for Joe Biden. Inskeep pointed out that contradiction to Trump, who seemed to argue that only his votes were legitimate.

refuse to cut off gabaholics. The right has been coached to consume all the air in the room. Once they start talking they don’t shut up. I couldn’t get past the first three minutes of Trump blabbing away unimpeded. It’s infuriating. They’ve been doing this shit for at least 30 years and we just let them do it.

I hope he's okay... I really want him alive when the slate of movies about him hit the screens.
