Lara Trump Interviews Kids' Grandpa | Paula Poundstone

Added: 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Hey Donald Trump, it's just me, Paula Poundstone. I was just playing with the cats. I made a terrible mistake when we were talking last night. I said Ice-T was going to do your show. It was Vanilla Ice. Why didn't you say something?

[00:00:15]You wanted Ice-T, huh?

[00:00:18]Can I ask you another question? Why do you think Lara Trump did that interview with you a couple days ago on Fox? Do you think it's so she won't have to listen to you say the same drivel with giblets in your mouth on Thanksgiving?

[00:00:30]You sure didn't give her an exclusive.

[00:00:33]And that's what I want to talk to you about. I can't tell if you like her.

[00:00:39]I know in general you have a philosophy that wives should be rotated out every couple of years. Maybe you're upset that Eric isn't adhering to the family practice.

[00:00:48]Have you told him they have a special place for her near the seventh hole at Bedminster? In that whole interview, you told her one new thing, which was that you told Iran that in addition to not making a nuclear weapon, they couldn't buy one. You seem to think that you were shutting a metaphorical window that they were scheming to climb out, and that only you with your Sherlock Holmesian intellect could have seen and stopped. I think the language in the discussions, and I would imagine in the agreement Obama had with them, the one that was working, you remember, back when the Strait of Hormuz was open, I believe the language was that Iran could not obtain a nuclear weapon, which you'll note covers making one, buying one, being loaned one, finding one in a woman's cascading hair, and conjuring one.

[00:01:35]Everything else you said to Laura Trump was from side B of your third greatest hits album. You said people ask you if you could ever get along with the Democrats, which allowed you to launch into your well-trodden claim, "I'm not sure that's possible, because I want closed borders and they want open borders. They want every criminal in the world to come into OUR COUNTRY." IT WASN'T SO MUCH A journalistic interview as it was a visit with her kids' grandpa.

[00:02:03]Because a real journalist might have said at this point, "Which Democrats exactly want every criminal in the world to come into our country? Did they say it directly to you?

[00:02:16]Did you try to comfort them by saying, 'We don't have every criminal in the world here, but I certainly am an access to every kind of crime there is.' Well, Trump, is your daughter-in-law. Couldn't you have given her a scoop like, 'I don't shake hands with my left hand.'

[00:02:32]Instead, you repeated to her your riveting story about your light bulb moment when you came up with Democrats, complete with the accompanying spelling lesson on the word dumb. Here, the skillful cameraman went in tight on her amazed expression. Why not give her the exclusive on the winning Republican strategy against Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico? I'll bet you and your political instincts were behind it.

[00:02:57]You endorsed Talarico's opponent, the scandal-drenched Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, during his primary run against Republican Senate incumbent John Cornyn.

[00:03:08]And the party of pedophile protectors WAS RIGHT THERE BESIDE you behind Ken Paxton.

[00:03:13]And they are now releasing the Kraken on his Democratic opponent James Talarico by accusing him of being a vegan.

[00:03:24]With the assertion that a vegan simply cannot win in Texas. Apparently, he's not a vegan, but nonetheless, even an accusation of a vegetable diet is a death knell for a Texas campaign. And if someone asks him for avoiding starch, it is all over.
