In a recent appearance on the Flagrant podcast, former President Donald Trump made comedian Andrew Schulz laugh so hard he nearly fell off his couch with his audacious claim: “I’m basically a truthful person.” The moment came as Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris over her claims about working at McDonald’s during her college years. told by The Hill.
In August, Harris released a campaign ad highlighting her experience at the fast-food giant, which sparked a wave of criticism. Detractors claimed—without any evidence—that she had never worked there, even alleging that McDonald’s had confirmed this, which the company did not.
Seizing on this controversy, Trump has made it a recurring theme in his campaign speeches, attacking Harris with this baseless assertion. He also broke a promise to spend half an hour working at the fry station before October 4, a commitment that drew attention during his campaign.
On the podcast, Trump launched into his critique of Harris, saying, “When they do things, and they do a lot. But I always refer back to the simplicity of McDonald’s. You lied about McDonald’s. You lied about many things, and she’s a liar.” He added that there should be rules against making commercials based on known falsehoods. report from Yahoo.
Continuing with his rant, Trump stated, “But this is a thing that’s going to end in 29 days so they can say what they want. I have a hard time doing it to them because I’m basically, you know, I’m basically a truthful person.” Schulz erupted into laughter at this assertion, which seemed to resonate humorously with him.
Trump pressed on, emphasizing his disdain for Harris: “She’s given me so much ammunition. I don’t really have to. She’s a radical left lunatic who will destroy our nation. Other than that, she will destroy our nation.”
In the midst of his criticism, he shifted topics slightly, addressing a question about abortion and IVF, suggesting that issues like these are now returning to state voters. Trump concluded, “And we’re going to put an end to a 52-year ordeal,” referencing the ongoing debate surrounding reproductive rights.
Trump’s comments not only illustrate his ongoing strategy of attacking Harris but also showcase his characteristic humor, albeit in a controversial context. His podcast appearance has sparked conversations about the political landscape as both candidates gear up for the upcoming elections.
