Former president Donald Trump intends to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday and instead plans to post a prerecorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that will be released that night, according to a person briefed on the matter.
Trump advisers said the interview had already been recorded. It is not yet clear where the interview will appear. Carlson has started a show on X, formerly called Twitter, but Trump sees the platform as a rival to Truth Social, which he helped create.
Trump knows Tucker will give him easier questions most likely.
I'd bet big money that Tucker will give him only the questions Trump has written for him to ask, AND that the wording and other details will make it very clear this is so. I'm looking forward to being amused by the clips from it that will show up the next day.
Q: Mr Trump you were the best president everyone says it, the other day someone came to me and said that Mr Trump was the best president, perfect President, just like his phonecalls were perfect - they tried to say it wasn't a perfect phone call, crooked Hillary and sleepy Joe said it wasn't perfect but it was a perfect phonecall, was it a perfect phone call? Everyone says it was perfect except sleepy Joe's son Hunter's laptop...
A: the election was stolen by very bad men, very bad, not as bad as hunter bidden and crooked Hillary but very bad...
