Donald Trump’s team is worried that he keeps dropping out of media appearances, even friendly ones.
Donald Trump won’t stop backing out of interviews, and his forces have been left scrambling.
Trump dropped out of yet another interview on Friday, when a Trump adviser told producers of The Shade Room that Trump wouldn’t be following through on talks to appear on the podcast because he was “exhausted and refusing [some] interviews but that could change,” two people familiar with the conversation told Politico.
Kamala Harris recently appeared on The Shade Room, a culture podcast with a predominantly young, Black audience. Ahead of Trump’s cancellation, Shade Room staff felt that the campaign was dragging its feet when it came to nailing down the details, according to Politico.

And yet he’s gaining. There’s probably a sound argument to be made that him not doing interviews and reminding people what an embarrassing idiot he is might help him.
I also continue to believe my completely baseless conspiracy theory that Vance has been running like, and positioning himself as, a presidential nominee. I think Trump’s team shared with him that he has cancer, dementia, or some other serious health issue.
I fully expect that “gaining” we’re seeing will shift as reputable pollsters release updated polls this week and drown out the ring-wing polls that flooded the data the last 2 weeks.
