Rachel Maddow Reveals What She Would Ask Trump if She Ever Got to Interview Him

MS NOW’s Rachel Maddow revealed what she would ask President Donald Trump if she ever managed to land an exclusive interview.

Maddow appeared on Thursday’s episode of Clock It with Symone & Eugene for a wide-ranging discussion about Trump’s second term. During the conversation, Maddow said the thing Trump “most wants” is “for everybody to be thinking about him and talking about him all the time.” Because of this, she claimed she actually wouldn’t be interested in the opportunity to sit down and interview with the president.

She added:

I am very disinterested in him as a person. People say, “Oh, if you could interview Donald Trump, what would you ask him?” I don’t know. I would probably ask him, “Is Africa a country?” Like, I would ask him, “How many R’s are in ‘strawberry’?”

The comments were met with laughter from co-hosts Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels.

“Rachel said, ‘If Johnny has five apples,'” Townsend said before bursting into laughter once again.

Maddow continued:

Like, I would wanna do some version of the cognitive test. Like, I don’t know. Who is the president of Mexico? Who’s your Labor secretary? Who was your third wife? Like, I don’t know. I don’t have an interest in his opining on the world, and I actually don’t have very much interest in what he’s saying. And I certainly don’t have interest in my job in putting him on camera all the time, and having you watch him mumble his way through interactions with reporters, or pronounce things about the Iran war which make no sense, or whatever it is.
