Former President Donald Trump mocked Vice President Kamala Harris on Saturday over her not doing an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan, telling a crowd of his supporters, “If Kamala can’t handle an interview with Joe Rogan, then she can’t handle the presidency.”
“She certainly can’t handle Putin or President Xi,” Trump said during his rally in Gastonia, North Carolina.
“She will get overwhelmed, melt down, and millions of people will die,” the former president added. “This is not a charity event — this is an election for the biggest and toughest job anywhere in the world.”
“They offered a date for Tuesday, but I would have had to travel to her and they only wanted to do an hour,” Rogan said. “I strongly feel the best way to do it is in the studio in Austin. My sincere wish is to just have a nice conversation and get to know her as a human being. I really hope we can make it happen.”
Trump recently sat down with Rogan for a three-hour discussion that has now amassed over 43 million views on YouTube. Rogan’s shows are typically between two hours and three hours.
“Can you imagine Kamala doing this show?” Trump asked during the show.
“I could imagine her doing this show,” Rogan replied. “She was supposed to do it, she might still do it and I hope she does.”
“She’s not gonna do it,” Trump told Rogan.
