Fox News has announced that President Donald Trump will do his first on-air interview since being diagnosed with Covid-19 Friday night.

The interview will air at 8 PM on Tucker Carlson Tonight and will be conducted by Dr. Marc Siegel, who “will conduct a medical evaluation and interview during the program,” according to Fox News. It is not clear from the Fox News report if this interview will occur live on-air, but it will almost certainly be pre-taped earlier in the day.

Trump will be on camera at the White House while Siegel will be in New York, speaking to the president via a remote, the network announced. It's unclear if the interview will be live or pre-taped. A pre-taped interview could be edited.

I would almost tune in for that except I blocked Fox from my tv years ago and don’t remember how to unblock it.

He wouldn't need Siegel as a prop. He'd just hit the road and start doing rallies.

But he's being interviewed remotely and it will NOT be a live interview, it appears. So the observations that any viewer will utilize will be from an edited video of Trump, between his coughing and his respiratory issues. IOW, it's a PR stunt that is supposed to cast doubt on his devastating illness.

After nearly four years, Trump can't surprise all of us by a truthful revelation about anything, so we know that he's constructing a Potemkin medical frame. IT'S A VIDEO PRODUCTION!

show that coronavirus is no big deal and can be beaten. 3. It will make me look like I am at the forefront of finding a cure, unlike Joe Biden. 4. It will turn my negatives on the pandemic into a positive.

None of which will happen.
