Instead of participating in the first GOP primary debate on Wednesday evening in Milwaukee alongside his Republican challengers, former President Donald Trump chose to participate in a pre-taped interview with Tucker Carlson for his post-Fox News show based entirely on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Leading up to Wednesday’s release, Tucker released a video explaining that, “when Trump approached us about having a conversation for a far larger audience than he’d receive on cable news, we happily accepted” while Trump teased the interview saying “SPARKS WILL FLY.”
Sure enough, at 8:55 p.m. ET, just minutes before the first GOP primary debate hosted by Fox News, Rumble, and Young America’s Foundation went live across the country, Tucker posted the full interview (embedded below for easy watching).
In the conversation recorded at the former president’s Bedminster property in New Jersey, Trump faces questions from Tucker that include the expected as well as some questions Trump almost certainly wouldn’t have gotten on the debate stage: “Why aren’t you at the Fox News debate?” “Whatever happened to Mike Pence?” “Do you think Epstein killed himself, sincerely?” “Do you think we’re moving toward Civil War?” “Are you worried that they’re [leftists] going to try and kill you?”
Answers to all those questions and more in the interview Trump told Tucker will “get better ratings using this crazy forum that you’re using than probably the debate,” below.

Next for Trump, after skipping the first GOP debate, is a trip to Georgia on Thursday where he will surrender to authorities to face charges, a process which — if he’s treated the same as his other indicted allies who turned themselves in on Wednesday — will include a mugshot.
When is Biden going to realize that indicting Trump on all these fictitious charges will just insure that Trump wins the election in Nov 2024. I can’t wait for all the real indictments on all the real crooks that will actually stick to them unlike all their fake shit on Trump.

Bravo to them Both !! It is way past time we broke the cycle of this corrupt 2 party system we have; that is purely pay to play !!! I would have no part of them either and it is good to get people not to waste their precious time watching them debate each others lies. The debate was a joke as usual…
I don’t get it? You obviously read this article and the interview was embedded with quality video and audio, could you be a “bot”?
I refuse to watch FOX…and will not watch any other debates… well, perhaps if Trump is on the stage. This was great!
Didn’t get to watch Trump and Tucker last night. Do not have Twitter. I wish he would go on News Max or Tucker get his on show on TV station.
YouTube
GREAT interview!!! I believe this segment will receive 10s of millions of views as it deserves. Trump is both a Patriot and a true Warrior who’s the ONLY Republican that can stand up against the “Deep State” and WIN, all the rest are PUSSIES! Just a suggestion: When the judge in Georgia today sets his “bail” I recommend the DJT refuse to accept any bail amount. WHY? His Secret Service protection is “FOR LIFE” and they are bound by “Law” to continue his “protection” even behind bars in jail or prison. This will mean the Secret Service will be required to embed themselves in every section of the jail including the food service, medical services, and like will clear the wing or pod in which he is incarcerated, then watch the shit begin to fly! If you think I’m kidding, read the Secret Service Act as it refers to lifetime Presidential protection!
That is Great News Shamus. Everyone should know that!!!
They should stop their bogus claims. They are not going to stop Trump. The democrats are pissing their pants.
