Overview
- Maddow, who spoke on the 'Clock It With Symone & Eugene' podcast Thursday, said she has little interest in interviewing President Donald Trump.
- She joked that her questions would be basic checks like 'Is Africa a country?' and 'How many R's are in "strawberry"?'
- She said she would lean on a simple cognitive check with prompts such as 'Who is the president of Mexico?' 'Who is your labor secretary?' and 'Who was your third wife?'
- Maddow argued Trump craves constant attention and said she does not want to put him on camera or amplify his daily remarks.
- She warned that the bigger issue is whether the United States stays a constitutional republic, with HuffPost noting his push to overturn the 2020 result and his talk of a third term as context.
