Former President Donald Trump has once again taken the wheel as the voice of reason in a political circus, this time pointing fingers at Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent interview antics. Harris, who has recently been thrust into the limelight as the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee since President Biden’s unexpected decision to bow out, is set to air an interview that was pre-taped. Trump has voiced his suspicions about the integrity of this setup, questioning why it isn’t a straightforward live dialogue, suggesting that a pre-release edit fest turns the whole thing into little more than a poorly scripted reality show.
The situation is made even more amusing by the fact that Harris isn’t flying solo for this show; her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, is sharing the spotlight. And here comes Trump with the quip that cements it: if the questions become too tough for Harris, she might simply turn to Walz and hope he saves the day. It’s a hilariously telling image, the VP candidate relying on her sidekick rather than stepping up to the plate. Trump’s remarks highlight the awkwardness of the whole event—after all, waiting for Harris to shine during interviews has often led to watching her fumble like a deer in headlights.
Watch as Donald Trump comments on the Kamala Harris and Tim Walz interview for CNN:
"First thing I want to do is say why isn't it live? It's not a live interview. It's an interview that's going to be taped, and then edited, and then put out. So that's not even an interview. Then… pic.twitter.com/ASChPx8CIy

Not to be left out of the critique parade, Trump didn’t spare Walz either, labeling him as a “disaster” in leadership. The former president reminded everyone of the extensive chaos during the Black Lives Matter protests in Minneapolis, as if the city was set ablaze during a bad barbecue. One can only wonder if residents are still licking their wounds from that epic leadership fail. Combine the two, and what do you get? A Democratic duo that reeks of amateur night at the political comedy club.
The notable Meghan McCain didn’t miss her chance to weigh in, ripping apart Harris’s strategy of bringing Walz along. The implication here is crystal clear: Harris’s failure to stand alone might just scream insecurity. It seems the Democratic ticket is pulling out all the stops to hide what’s been a rather embarrassing track record on the interview circuit. And if this is how she begins her candidacy, conservative observers can’t wait to see how the campaign rolls on.
Meanwhile, Trump is not sitting idly. As Harris prepares for her primetime showcase (pre-taped, mind you), he’ll be holding court in Wisconsin for a town hall event. To add a fun twist, former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard will be moderating—now there’s a clash of political dynamics that promises a few surprises. The countdown to the September 10 presidential debate is on, a contest that will feature muted microphones to save everyone from the grappling of interruptions. One can only hope it turns into a display of preparedness rather than another charisma void. All eyes will be on this Democratic reversal and the GOP opportunity that looms ahead.
