NextImg:Podcaster Cracks Up After Trump Calls Himself A 'Truthful Person'
LOADINGERROR LOADING

Podcaster Andrew Schulz couldn’t keep a straight face in his recent interview with Donald Trump.

Although Schulz has previously said that he thinks the GOP presidential nominee seems “enticing” when compared with Democrats, the comedian couldn’t take him seriously during one moment in their 90-minute discussion, which was released Wednesday.

That moment? Well, it was when Trump claimed that he’s “basically a truthful person.”

Trump’s no-way-it-would-survive-a-fact-check statement came while he was insisting that Democrat Kamala Harris has lied about him and about previously working at McDonald’s.

“She lied about McDonald’s,” Trump said, without citing evidence. “She lied about many things, and she’s a liar.”

He added that “there should be some kind of a rule, when they know it’s a lie, you can’t do a commercial on it” — nodding to a Harris ad that says she once worked at the fast-food chain.

Trump then said, “They can say what they want — I have a hard time doing it to them, because I’m basically a truthful person.”

At that point, Schulz started laughing hard, appearing to ask, “What does that mean?” But Trump ignored his amusement and doubled down on his Harris harangue.

“She’s given me so much ammunition. I don’t really have to,” Trump said. “She’s a radical-left lunatic who will destroy our nation.”

Not surprisingly, Harris’ presidential campaign shared a video of the exchange online.

And, yes, social media users found the “truthful person” claim by Trump — widely known for his lies on various topics — to be quite absurd.

By Truthful Trump means he only lies three quarters of the time.
