Note: In the interview, I said I thought it was my 8th interview with Trump. I went back and looked: it’s actually the 9th.

Please ask the Trump team if it would be better to use DOGE saving to create investment fund for Social Security with goal of making it self-funding. We don’t need a check! It would be huge contribution.
We loved listening to your interview with President Donald Trump! It was a living room sort of conversation, very clear, not contentious. Trump is a warm personality (when he’s not directing deportations!)
You were polite and asked some good questions which I hope locks in another interview.
I was disappointed you did not point out that his claim that the USA spent $350mm on Ukraine is incorrect. He keeps saying that when the number is $175mm (still a large amount to help them fight communism).
I suppose if you did point that out your chances for a subsequent interview might be damaged.
@Paul Kessler below, the thing is that monetarist economics states that a sudden decrease in public spending would lead to a recession just like an increase in spending led to inflation during the last four years. In order to avert that, Trump needs to raise personal spending among citizens just as government spending is reduced, and the only way to stimulate that is through incentive (tax cuts) – any other method would result in gross spending declining, which would lead to a correctional recession as happened at the start of Ronald Reagan’s term, and while it would likely heal quickly and lead to a boom, if it is badly timed as it was in 1982, the GOP would suffer in the midterms and we would be stuck with a somewhat dysfuctional government with a GOP president and Democrat congress for several years as the good economy in the future would mean lack of a drive for change. That is why the 2026 midterms are so crucial, because if good government is maintained through them, then that government would probably be sustained for the next several years and there would not be a return to the corruption and horror of the past, at least not in the medium term.
A very good interview Sharyl. You did a fantastic job.
A great interview with a great man. A man who will be written up as one of the greatest in our country’s history alongside George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson and Abe Lincoln. We are fortunate to watch this amazing term unfold.
