Donald Trump’s team is worried that he keeps dropping out of media appearances, even friendly ones.
Donald Trump won’t stop backing out of interviews, and his forces have been left scrambling.
Trump dropped out of yet another interview on Friday, when a Trump adviser told producers of The Shade Room that Trump wouldn’t be following through on talks to appear on the podcast because he was “exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change,” two people familiar with the conversation told Politico.
Kamala Harris recently appeared on The Shade Room, a culture podcast with a predominantly young, Black audience. Ahead of Trump’s cancellation, Shade Room staff felt that the campaign was dragging its feet when it came to nailing down the details, according to Politico.

And yet he’s gaining. There’s probably a sound argument to be made that him not doing interviews and reminding people what an embarrassing idiot he is might help him.
I also continue to believe my completely baseless conspiracy theory that Vance has been running like, and positioning himself as, a presidential nominee. I think Trump’s team shared with him that he has cancer, dementia, or some other serious health issue.
I fully expect that “gaining” we’re seeing will shift as reputable pollsters release updated polls this week and drown out the ring-wing polls that flooded the data the last 2 weeks.
He can disappear for 2 weeks and this will still be the closest election ever
My hope is that this demoralizes his supporters so they just don’t vote.
Same.
Even when he shows up and listens to music, I hope it demoralizes them.
He nop’d on an interview targeting young black voters. That will probably excite his supporters and cement their desire to vote for him.
They’d likely have to read to know he did it.
They’ll elect him even if he’s confirmed dead. Just out of spite.
All that matters is if that corpse has a big R next to its name.

I hate that this is true.
Honestly… that might be the best move for him.
Him going out just keeps making it obvious.
I hate that you’re probably right.
The goddamn polls have only been getting better for him…
He’s probably, dare I say, smart for not doing many more interviews so he doesn’t fuck up anything since between their plans to ratfuck the election where they can and his lead in the polls he’s pretty much got this anyway :(
I don’t get it. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin seem neck and neck now.
From a slight Harris lead to a tie, polls overestimate Democrat performance, and as you get closer to the election the polls get more accurate so all that together tells me Trump is actually winning unfortunately :(
I would love nothing more than to be proven wrong come election day though
He’s being hidden from view for some reason. Me thinks an even more abrupt mental decline than we’ve seen over the last few months.
I completely agree. I think his mental decline has been significant. I don’t really think he’s been as public as he normally is and when he is, he is extra weird.

I completely agree. I think that’s why he hasn’t been doing debates. I feel like we haven’t seen him as much and when we do it’s weird.
He’s sleepy and wants his naps.
How is he being hidden?
By being kept away from interview and TV appearances and such.
I mean, he’s done quite a few, and turned up to the Catholic charity thing and Harris did not attend. Seems like people are saying what they want to hear.
Seems like people are saying what they want to hear.
Just because one might life that way doesn’t mean that’s what is happening here. Also, seems like a confession.
His team is panicking? This is the guy who hears YMCA and automatically starts jerking off invisible cocks. He hasn’t had a coherent thought rattling around his very big abrain in a decade. If you work for him surely you’re used to the most demented behavior every time he opens his hamberder hole.
Nah it is much more unstable recently. His ability to form coherent sentences has abruptly declined to much lower levels than the past decade.
Harris should pick up whatever he interviews he cancels lmao
She is generally doing those anyway, except the Catholic event she didn’t turn up to. At least she knows where she should be campaigning and going hard.
Good idea, but she’d already done one there
remember that before Harris started her media tour they kept saying she doesn’t answer questions and she’s afraid of interviews. and now he takes 2 questions, switches to a ridiculous concert and cancels all other interviews.
guess what that’ll do to his support.
that’s right, nothing. it’s a cult.
They’re not panicking about anything. They know the more they keep him out of the spotlight, the better he does. Americans need to be constantly reminded how stupid and unhinged he is or they start forgetting.
He is not worried about anything, he’s not even campaigning that much. He’s 100% relying on the fact that he’s going to call it a “rigged elections” anyway and create chaos, because we have people in this country who still believe this dude cares about them or the country.
None of those people care about the country. They just want their team to win. Own the libs. Roll coal.

Low-energy. Sleepy. Sad. Incoherent and can barely string two sentences together. Crowd sizes are small too. He’s too old and should probably just drop out.
Totally false. He never stops a sentence. It’s like reading the sound and the fury.
Well he can’t string two sentences together if he never finishes the first one.
Fair.
Remember when Trump was making fun of Biden for being too old and weak for the job?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Remember, like everything he says, it was projection.
It’s possible as well, that people are also refusing to work with him sometimes too now.
Don’t forget, he did also just recently threaten to sue everyone working for one of his rallies because his mic cut off and said he won’t pay the contractors.
So, unless he’s willing to sign liability waivers, there’s plenty of reason to no longer want to interview him. And there is even less reason for any audio engineers and such to be in any way involved with any of his interviews or anything else (because if something goes wrong, he could go mafiaesque on them, and name them so their family is at risk).
Don’t forget, he operates like the mafia…
His mic was cut last night for 20 minutes, that is a long time… Probably didn’t pay
Yeah. Actually, that’s probably why it was cut. That’s a good point
He’s demented, confused, and stupid. His campaign should be worried. The dems got rid of Biden, why didn’t the GOP get rid of Trump? Because they’re corrupt, that’s why. They are hungry for power and money.
Harris really left him shook, damn.
He’s just old and unhealthy and can’t handle the schedule.
But Harris being smarter than him has definitely upset him.
Ol’ Drowsy Don, napping away as he does…
If he’s too exhausted to do an interview he’s too exhausted to be president.
