Fox News hosts struggle to get rattled Trump off the line as he goes on media blitz after Harris's DNC speech

Fox News hosts struggle to get rattled Trump off the line as he goes on media blitz after Harris’s DNC speech

“Twenty million people have poured into our country – many of them from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums and a record number of terrorists,” Trump falsely claimed in a live on-air rant.

“President Trump,” MacCallum interjected helplessly, with Trump continuing on his fiery tirade of falsehoods.

“Other countries are releasing their prisoners from their jails, they’re emptying out their jails into the United States of America because of her [Harris] incompetence and her bad border policies,” Trump continued.

“Sir,” MacCallum said, desperately trying to cull his monologue.

X users were quick to comment on Trump’s on-air meltdown, with NBC News analyst Claire McCaskill quipping: “When you are trying to get off the phone with your poor neighbor who is not well.”

“You look at Venezuela, they got into Caracas which was a very unsafe city, and now it’s safe. In fact, some day the three of us will have to go there – let’s bring your husband with us also, right – and we’ll bring some of the other people that are with you because I like the people that are with you,” Trump said. “And we’ll go to Caracas because it will be safer than any place in our county.”

“Yo–,” said Mercedes Schlapp with an awkward smile, as Trump also spoke over her and returned to his usual talking point trying to blame Harris for issues at the southern border.

Trump’s shouty rants on the right-wing networks came after he went on a Truth Social rampage during Harris’s DNC speech, running his own personal commentary with a staggering 58 posts during her 38-minute address.

we are going to elect the first woman president in the history of the US, while at the same time, we are watching in real time, a disgraced former president completely melt down.
