Joe Biden age update
After his 40 minute public trance yesterday, Trump cancelled another interview with a friendly but not sycophantic host:
Donald Trump abruptly backed out of yet another prearranged interview, notifying CNBC that the network’s anticipated sit-down interview with the Republican presidential nominee, scheduled for later this week, would not be happening.
The schedule change was revealed by Squawk Box’s conservative-leaning host Joe Kernan, who specified on air Tuesday that “Trump canceled.”
Sources that spoke with The Daily Beast noted that the former president had initially accepted the invitation to speak on the business network. Three hosts anchor Squawk Box, one of whom is Andrew Ross Sorkin, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump since his initial 2016 campaign.
Instead, Trump has relegated his TV appearances to friendlier, more sycophantic networks, including Fox News, whose anchor Maria Bartiromo interviewed the former president over the weekend. Bartiromo did not interrupt or correct Trump when he claimed that the real Election Day threat is the “enemy from within” while suggesting that the military should forcibly involve itself in handling the election results.
It sure is a lucky break for Trump that the age and cognitive ability of the candidates stopped becoming a major issue in late July, and the quantity of interviews given by candidates stopped being an important story sometime last week!
