Donald Trump’s appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast took an unexpected twist when Schulz burst into laughter mid-interview. As the former President made bold statements about his character and political rivals, the moment raised questions about what prompted Schulz’s reaction and why it became a highlight of the interview.
Here’s a closer look at the exchange and what may have led to the outburst.
Here’s why Andrew Schulz laughed at Donald Trump’s comment
Donald Trump recently sat down for an interview hosted by comedians Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh.
In the said episode of the Flagrant podcast, Trump made the bold claim that he is “basically a truthful person,” which prompted Schulz to burst into laughter. The interview, lasting 90 minutes, was full of humorous critique, with the hosts openly mocking the Republican candidate, while he discussed his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump even accused her of lying in her campaign ads, asserting, “You lied about McDonald’s. You lied about many things, and she’s a liar.”
Donald Trump also expressed frustration over what he claimed were falsehoods about his positions on in-vitro fertilization and his use of the word “bloodbath” concerning the economy. He went on to say, “There should be some kind of a rule when they know it’s a lie, you can’t do a commercial on it. But this is a thing that’s going to end in 29 days so they can say what they want.”
Despite attacking Harris, Trump maintained that he wouldn’t retaliate in kind because, as he put it, “I’m basically, you know, I’m basically a truthful person.” This statement triggered Andrew Schulz’s uncontrollable laughter, with him asking through gasps, “What does that mean? What does that mean?”
In response to the laughter, Trump doubled down, calling Harris “a radical left lunatic who will destroy our nation.” The moment highlighted the skepticism and humor from certain audiences that still surround his claims during his 2024 presidential campaign.
