Trump Interview Devolves Into Random Shouting as 'Fox & Friends' Hosts Sit There Stunned

Even the hosts of ‘Fox & Friends’ couldn’t quite believe what they were hearing Thursday morning while talking to the president by phone.

President Donald Trump seemed chipper enough when he called into his favorite morning show on Thursday for the first time in more than a year. “I picked a very, very special day because it’s Melania’s birthday,” he said. But within minutes, the president was railing against the “horrible” Iran deal and lamenting the fact that his personal doctor Ronny Jackson was forced to withdraw his nomination for VA secretary.

The three hosts could barely get a word in edgewise, let alone questions, over the course of the 30-minute interview. Though they did get Trump to admit for the first time that he did stay overnight in Moscow in 2013 when the alleged “pee tape” was supposedly recorded. “I went to Russia for a day or so... of course I stayed there,” the president said.

As time went on, it seemed that Trump was saying more and more as Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt, and Brian Kilmeade were saying less and less. Trump ranted against “sleepy-eyes Chuck Todd” for questioning his deal with Kim Jong Un and then pivoted to attacking the panels on CNN for criticizing him on a nightly basis.

“When you look at some of the others, you look at, like CNN, they’ll have a council of seven people, and of the seven people, everyone of them is against me,” Trump screamed. “I'm saying, where do they even find these people?”

“I'm not your doctor, Mr. President, but I would recommend you watch less of them,” Kilmeade interjected.

The guy would start a lecture and come upon a topic, that set him off, it was nutso from then on. The guy would completely loose touch with reality and where he was. Me and another grad student would fall over each other laughing after the lectures, after barely containing ourselves during. Surprisingly, both of us did very well in the class when grades were issued, but I did feel sorry for people that tried to get notes from the lecture. Me and the other student figured that the guy had to test the class from the textbook, so we focused on understanding the material from the textbook, worked out.

He has completely lost it. Ranting, screaming, lying his fat ass off. If I'm not mistaken, even the Fox hosts were sitting there looking completely mortified. Somebody needs to have him sectioned.

Its amazing that he is so self deluded that he actually believes it must be difficult to find 7 people who are against him.

Pants On Fire. All Media all should have the one hit wonder Castaways on cue.

It still astonishes me that many otherwise sane people thought this Creep was Presidential caliber. A guy born with a silver spoon in his mouth who got familiar with Bankruptcy. The guy lies constantly.

The sad thing is he would have comfortably lost in any other democratic nation. Damn that out of date and stupid Electoral College.

“I will be interviewed on @foxandfriends at 8:00 A.M. Enjoy!”

I hope he calls again tomorrow and clarifies his “Republicans/Civil War/thing” comment!

Oh and yes indeed, we certainly did ENJOY, dumbass!!
