Rachel Maddow on Thursday joined fellow MS NOW hosts Symone Sanders-Townsend and Eugene Daniels on their podcast, “Clock It With Symone & Eugene,” and had some rather cheeky ideas about what to ask President Donald Trump during a hypothetical interview.
Maddow had joined the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion on the MAGA leader’s current second term, when Daniels acknowledged how difficult it can be at times “to find the hope” while covering Trump — and Maddow divulged how she really feels about the president.
“I don’t know what’s going on inside Donald Trump’s brain, but I feel like over this past decade or so, the thing that I have learned is what he most wants is for everybody to be thinking about him and talking about him all the time,” said Maddow.
She added, “People say, ‘Oh, if you could interview Donald Trump, what would you ask him?’ I don’t know. I would probably ask him, ‘Is Africa a country?’ Like, I would ask him, ‘How many R’s are in “strawberry”?’”
Maddow had noted earlier that Trump is the “archetype” of a “classic stereotypical wannabe strongman type” and that she’s thus “very disinterested in him as a person,” but continued cracking jokes after her first two questions left Sanders-Townsend and Daniels in stitches.
