Stephen A. Smith, an ESPN commentator, shared details of his conversation with President Donald Trump on ‘Hannity.’ He highlighted the impact of the GOP’s significant midterm losses and offered advice to Democrats about their far-left wing.
In a 40-minute interview, Smith noted Trump’s reluctance to accept responsibility for the GOP’s defeat, describing the president as ‘immovable’ on that issue. He recounted their discussion about the ‘devastating’ losses during the midterms, revealing that Trump was firm in his stance.
Smith challenged Trump on his claim that he wasn’t on the ballot, reminding him of his previous message to voters. Trump replied, ‘That makes absolutely no sense, Mr. President. You said, put you on a ballot. That’s what you told the American people to do.’ Trump responded with, ‘Well, they didn’t do it.’ Smith questioned whether Trump’s narrative was a factor in the losses.
Despite Trump’s attitude that the candidates were inadequate, Smith disagreed with Trump’s view of the midterm outcome. He argued that Americans were discontent with Trump’s presidency, resulting in a blue wave.
Responding to questions about other issues such as the Iran War and tariffs, Smith mentioned Trump’s strong opposition. When rumors surfaced about Trump’s offer to make him the White House press secretary, Smith laughed it off, referring to his lucrative career with ESPN and Disney.
Despite criticism from both parties, Smith warned Democrats of the challenges posed by their far-left members. He stated that the Democratic Party is seen as divided, despite claims of inclusivity.
‘If you’re not willing to capitulate to their desires, their wishes, and their ideological beliefs 100%, then they have a problem with you,’ Smith pointed out.
Smith concluded by appreciating Trump’s willingness to answer questions, even when they were tough. ‘I give him credit,’ he said.
