So it isn’t really surprising that Donald Trump appeared on Jones’ show today, although we were disappointed that they didn’t delve into a discussion about their shared concerns about vaccines.
Trump also took the airtime to talk about his own theories on how the world works, brag about how he predicted the rise of Osama bin Laden, and again double down on his claims that he saw Muslims celebrate the 9/11 attacks-which, according to Jones, was a government-plotted false-flag operation involving the USA planting explosives around the World Trade Center. Jones said he estimates that 90 percent of his audience are Trump supporters – an estimate, by the way, that is key to understanding why Trump would do this interview in the first place. “I mean, we’re talking about resurrection of the dead here”.
As it turned out, the Jones-Trump combo produced (relatively) few outlandish moments.
“I am in this to win it. I am not in this to say, ‘Oh, gee, I’ve done a really good job, ‘” Trump said.
“If she runs, I think her greatest legacy will be that she got out of the email scandal”, he added. “There are a lot of people in this government and also retired who don’t want to destroy the country”.
“In a way you’ll make him a martyr”, Trump confirmed.

“Your reputation’s wonderful”, Trump told Jones. “I will not let you down”. Trump’s announcement came only three hours after Politico published an article about his refusal to release the records. Trump said Stone had been the one who wanted him to do this interview, prompting speculation that Stone might be back on Trump’s team.
