Grumpy old fart failed to convince anyone that his economic plans aren’t wacko.
Trump Lashes Out at Live Fact-Checks During Disaster of an Interview
Donald Trump insisted on bulldozing through gibberish answers during the train-wreck interview.
The former president elicited groans from the crowd while dodging questions about his proposed foreign tariff plan, which includes a 200 percent tariff (which Trump insinuated could even be as high as 2,000 percent) on foreign cars.

Among the questions where Trump skirted a direct answer: the fate of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell; whether he would seek the break-up of Google if he is elected; his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin; and whether he would accept the outcome of the ongoing election battle with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump, who is used to more friendly interviewers in this kind of setting, frequently fought with moderator John Micklethwait, editor-in-chief of Bloomberg News, who constantly had to fact-check the former president.
