Line Mysteriously Goes Dead When Washington Post Reporters Ask Trump About Fake Spokesperson
According to a new report, Donald Trump today hung up on a group of Washington Post reporters and then pretended he wasn’t home when they called back. The cause of his fright? A question about John Miller, the name he sometimes uses when pretending to be a spokesman for himself.
The unnamed reporters were reportedly 44 minutes deep in an interview with Trump about financial issues when someone asked him about the surreal recording of him in character as Miller. In response, he hid. Via the Post:
Then, Friday afternoon, Washington Post reporters who were 44 minutes into a phone interview with Trump about his finances asked him a question about Miller: “Did you ever employ someone named John Miller as a spokesperson?”
The phone went silent, then dead. When the reporters called back and reached Trump’s secretary, she said, “I heard you got disconnected. He can’t take the call now. I don’t know what happened.”
I know what happened.
