Podcast host laughs when Trump describes himself as 'basically a truthful person'
A podcast host laughed when former President Trump described himself as “basically a truthful person” in a Wednesday episode.
The former president was expressing his frustration over topics including the House panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol and Democratic attacks against him on the “Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh” podcast.
“But this is a thing [that’s] gonna end in 29 days, so they can say what they want,” Trump said in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “I have a hard time doing it to them, because … I’m basically a truthful person, but —”
Schulz, a comedian and one of the hosts of the podcast, then began laughing hard as the former president continued to try to speak.
“No but frankly, she’s given me so much ammunition, I don’t really have to,” the former president said, referring to Vice President Harris.
Trump also called the vice president “a radical-left lunatic who will destroy our nation,” mirroring previous comments in which he has called her “Comrade Kamala.”
The former president has a history of making false claims, most notably over the results of the 2020 election. At a rally in Michigan last week, the former president invoked his distrust in the election results from four years ago.
“We did great in 2016 and a lot of people don’t know that we did a lot better in 2020. We won. We won. We did win. It was a rigged election,” Trump said.
The Hill has reached out to the Trump campaign, Schulz and the Harris campaign for comment.
