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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

    Remember when Trump was making fun of Biden for being too old and weak for the job?

    Pepperidge Farm remembers.

    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…

    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.

    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.
