Donald Trump Says He’s ‘Basically a Truthful Person,’ Podcaster Laughs in Face

Donald Trump says he’s got some Pinocchio in him … saying he’s “basically a truthful person” during a podcast interview — and, the statement had one podcast host laughing in his face.

The 45th POTUS stopped by “Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh” podcast … and, he launched into a discussion of the ads his presidential opponent Kamala Harris is running — saying they’re full of falsehoods about him.

DJT says Kamala’s team is twisting his views on IVF and his use of the word “bloodbath” when discussing the economy in new TV ads … saying it’s all come out as an unfair depiction of him.

Trump says there should be a law against telling lies in campaign ads … before adding he doesn’t lob similar attacks at his opponent ’cause he’s “basically a truthful person.”

Trump also talked foreign policy on the show … and, his comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi — who he calls one of the nicest guys who also showed him a potentially violent side from time to time — are receiving mixed reactions online.
