āExhaustedā Trump Canāt Make It Through Interview in His Home
Donald Trump didnāt even have to leave his building for an interview that streamed live on his friend and loyal supporter Dan Bonginoās video podcast Friday morning. But he still had trouble making it to the end of what may have been planned as a longer sit-down.
After vamping for more than 30 minutes in Trump Tower as he waited for the ex-president to show up, Bongino began by boasting to the president about the āsuper, extra MAGAā crowd that tunes into his show. āWeāre like the darkest MAGA of all,ā Bongino said in an attempt to out-do Elon Musk.
At one point in the low-energy interview, Trump offered up insights such as how āamazedā he was that āking of wokeā Harvey Weinstein got āschlonged.ā But it was his final moment with Bongino that caught the eye of Kamala Harrisā social media team.
āTrump abruptly ends his live interview after it is reported that he is canceling interviews because he is āexhausted,āā @KamalaHQ tweeted, referring to a new report from Politico that the Republican candidate is āexhausted and refusing interviewsā with less than three weeks to go until Election Day.

After about half an hour, as Bongino tried to ask another question, Trump said, āHey, Dan, off the record, I gotta get going,ā seeming not to realize the interview was airing live.
Bongino apologized to both Trump and his viewers for the abrupt end to the interview and let his guest go, but not before making him sign a baseball that he said he planned to auction off for charity.
āPretty good, just like the old days,ā Trump said from his chair as Bongino stood up and admired the signature.
Then, shortly after this article was published, Bongino sent the Daily Beast what he described as āreceiptsā showing Trump did not end the interview early (along with the charming note, āDoes your mother tell her friends she has no living children out of embarrassment for having spawned such an embarrassing piece of sāt?ā)
But in the screenshot of an email in which Trumpās team confirmed the interview, it clearly shows it was meant to be an hour long. Instead of staying for the full time he agreed to be live with Bongino and pushing back his next event, Trump ended the sit-down after a little more than 30 minutes.
More RECEIPTS for you fucksticks.Hereās the email from the Trump team confirming the schedule. Notice, he was scheduled until 11a. He stayed until after 11 because HE WAS COMING FROM ANOTHER INTERVIEW at Fox and was a few mins behind. He then stayed an extra ten minutes toā¦ pic.twitter.com/kZOxcw2gvB

Bongino is a former NYPD officer and Secret Service agent with three failed congressional bids under his belt. He rose to prominence as a conservative pundit on Fox News during Trumpās first term as president. He very briefly had his own show on the network before āparting waysā with the company in 2023. (His 2018 departure from NRATV prompted a failed defamation suit against the Daily Beast.)
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bongino became one of the loudest voices against mask and vaccine mandates, which ultimately led to a permanent ban from YouTube in 2022. He currently hosts The Dan Bongino Show on the conservative platform Rumble.
