Following his recent presidential debate with Vice President, Kamala Harris, former US President, Donald Trump is making the headlines once again. An article has gone viral claiming that he has canceled his appearance on the Talk Tuah podcast, due to the recent assassination attempt on him. Haliey Welch, the “hawk tuah” girl who went viral online for coining the titular phrase, hosts the Talk Tuah podcast. Netizens are now wondering if there is any truth to the matter.
So, without further adieu, here is everything we know about Donald Trump’s alleged appearance on the Talk Tuah podcast.
Did Donald Trump’s Talk Tuah Podcast appearance get canceled?
Donald Trump was not scheduled to appear on the Talk Tuah Podcast. Therefore, his cancellation of it is inconsequential.
On September 16, user @number_pizza111 ignited widespread speculation with an X post featuring a screenshot of a purported NPR article. The headline of the article, which appeared to be a fabricated image, claimed that Trump had canceled their scheduled appearance on the ‘Talk Tuah’ podcast due to a purported assassination attempt. Furthermore, the article featured images of Haliey Welch and Donald Trump.
The rumor further gained momentum after the recent assassination attempt on Trump at his Florida golf club. On September 15, 2024, The Secret Service spotted a rifle barrel sticking out from the bushes and opened fire at it. Trump was unharmed, but investigations are currently underway. (via CNN)
However, it turns out that the NPR article doesn’t exist, swiftly debunking the claim. The article seemed to be AI-generated when fans spotted a WNYC mark at the top of the article. Such a mark is not featured in an actual NPR article. Furthermore, its official website does not have any trace of the fabricated article. The user @number_pizza111 himself posted on X, sharing another screenshot of an article debunking the fake news.
Hence, it looks like we will not be seeing the former President of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump appear on the Talk Tuah Podcast anytime soon.
