As the Kamala Harris campaign has steered clear of hostile interviews, Donald Trump entered the lion's den last night during an interview with Bloomberg at the Economic Club of Chicago that went on for just longer than an hour.
In it, Trump gave a masterclass in dealing with the mainstream media as he constantly sparred with the hostile interviewer - and easily won over the crowd, who constantly cheered his rebuttals - and booed the interviewâs biased framing.
One particular part that the audience loved was when Trump called out the interviewer, Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait.
Micklethwait began to tell Trump that traders were betting that if he wins his policies will drive up debt and inflation - to which Trump fired back that itâs a foolish bet because there was no inflation during his tenure.
Micklethwait continued âPresident Trump, the markets are looking at the fact you are making all these promises, latest one was car loans. But I was also I was actually quite kind to you. I used 7 trillion. The upper estimate is 15 trillion. People like the Wall Street Journal, which is hardly a communist organization, they have criticized you on this as well.â
Trump fired back, âWhat does The Wall Street Journal know?â
âWhat does The Wall Street Journal know? Theyâve been wrong about everything. So have you, by the way.â
âYouâve been wrong,â Trump repeated as the audience erupted in applause and laughter.
