4:06Now PlayingAccording to CNBC, Donald Trump has backed out of an agreed-upon interview with the network that was scheduled to take place this week. Neither side had previously announced the interview, but host Joe Kernen made the announcement during an interview with a Harris donor on Tuesday. This is not a bad move by Trump, as his interview that same day with Bloomberg went horribly for him as he continues to struggle when he’s forced to talk about real issues and not just engage in personal attacks. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Well, folks, looks like Donald Trump has chickened out of yet another mainstream interview on CNBC. Uh, CNB. You know what I say? NBC Oh Lord Donald Trump. Don't want me on the TV box. I so scared. 3, 2, 1. Well, looks like Donald Trump has chickened out of yet another mainstream media interview because he's such a coward. This week it was announced by CN, uh, CNBC host, excuse me, John Kernan, on the air that Donald Trump had previously agreed to do an interview later this week on CNBC's headline show, squawk Box, but then abruptly canceled. And in fact, this was announced on the air possibly when it came in as Kernan was interviewing Charles Phelps, the former, uh, former Oracle president who is of course supporting vice president Kamala Harris. So while Kernan was interviewing, you know, this big money guy who's supporting Harris, he gets the news, Trump canceled. In fact, that's what he said on the air.
Trump canceled. It's important to point out that Kernin himself is a conservative leaning host, as are for the record. Most of the hosts on CNBC, that's where Donald Trump got Larry Kudlow from, who of course is now with Fox News, but it's not a liberal network at all. Donald Trump would've been walking into relatively friendly territory, but, but they were probably gonna ask him hard questions that his tiny little brain can't comprehend. And we know that because the same day that he canceled was also the day that he did that disastrous Bloomberg News, uh, interview at the Chicago Economic Forum. But what's funny about this is that Trump actually canceled the CNBC interview before he gave his disastrous performance at the Chicago Economic Forum to Bloomberg. So maybe his campaign knew that he was about to tank, maybe they understood, okay, listen, we're about to talk about economics, which he is not good at. He is gonna crash and burn and we don't want that coming up in an interview later in the week, so we need to cancel. Or maybe it was because they were interviewing a Harris supporter and Trump got mad and said, no, I'm not gonna go in a network that's going to talk to a Harris supporter. Whatever it is, he chickened out of it. He can't handle it.
He has to stick to those more friendly interviews over at Fox News with, uh, Maria Bar Romo, Laura Ingram and Sean Hannity. People that he knows he can control and will not ask him tough questions, which of course is also why he recently backed out of the 60 Minutes interview. This is a guy who cannot handle this job. He can't even handle the job of campaigning. So how in the hell do you think he's gonna handle the job of being president? He is mentally and physically much worse than he was four years ago when he was still in office. And this is what you get a man that is so terrified of somebody asking him a tough question, that he simply says, fine. No more questions. Let's just have a dance party, which is what he did Monday. Instead of actually hosting that town hall, he danced on stage and swayed to the music for 40 minutes and only took four questions. He can't handle it. And if he can't handle the campaign, then you sure as hell can't handle the job itself.
