Trump Dragged Over His Desperation After Calling Into C-SPAN Show—And Even The Host Is Caught Off Guard
He also defended his Defense Secretary, former Fox & Friends weekend cohost Pete Hegseth, who faces eight articles of impeachment filed by Kentucky Republican Representative Thomas Massie when the House of Representatives went back in session earlier on the same day as Trump's call.
You can watch the moment here:
People had a lot of comments for Trump about his false claims and boasts during his call.

Others called out C-SPAN and host Mimi Georges for allowing Trump's lies to be aired unchecked and uncontested.
More than a few questions were raised about the background sound of what people thought was a giggling woman...
...who didn't sound like First Lady Melania Trump.
Others raised concerns about Trump's cognitive decline.
Several pointed out the POTUS seems confused about the meaning of the word "asylum."
@DCBlindOwl reply to @cspan/X
Trump said he enjoys watching C-SPAN's viewer call-in programs to hear directly from American voters.
Trump told Georges:
"Well, I like to watch the call-ins because it gives me a little bit of an indication of where we are. I do OK on there. We have some great Republicans calling in, and I’m not so sure the Democrats are thrilled, but the Republicans seem to be."
Independent audience analysis of C-SPAN callers found retired White people from the South and Midwest (60%) that self identify as moderate to conservative (69%) are the predominant groups that call in to talk on air.
Coincidentally, those demographics also make up most of Trump's MAGA minions.
If the POTUS would really like to hear directly from voters, he got an opportunity this past Tuesday when voters overwhelmingly picked Democratic candidates over the Republicans he endorsed.
The Incoming Freshman Democratic Senators Posed For Their First Selfie At Orientation—And It's Honestly Everything
Illinois Senator-elect Juliana Stratton shared a selfie on social media Monday featuring several members of the incoming class of Senate Democrats.
The photo included Senators-elect Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan, Josh Turek of Iowa, Adam Hamilton of Kansas, James Talarico of Texas, Peggy Flanagan of Minnesota, Annie Andrews of South Carolina, Roy Cooper of North Carolina, Chris Pappas of New Hampshire and Sherrod Brown of Ohio.
Brown is returning to the chamber after serving three terms before losing his reelection bid in 2024. The only incoming Democratic senator apparently absent from the group photo was Maine’s Troy Jackson. The outcomes of two other Senate races, in Mississippi and Alaska, had yet to be determined.
Stratton wrote:
"First Freshmen Senator selfie! Couldn’t ask for a better team."

That's a very diverse bunch–and that differs completely from a photo shared by Wyoming Republican Representative Harriet Hageman that includes Montana Senator-elect Kurt Alme, Alabama Senator-elect Barry Moore, Louisiana Senator-elect Julia Letlow, Kentucky Senator-elect Andy Barr, and Oklahoma Senator-elect Kevin Hern.

It's safe to say the new Senate Democrats are giving people some hope for the first time in a long time.
The incoming Democrats will face opposition from the Trump administration from the moment they're seated in January.
President Donald Trump had a noticeably muted reaction to the results but initially congratulated Democrats and pledged to work with them when new members of Congress are sworn in. However, he has since reversed course by posting more election fraud conspiracy theories on social media.
Trump published the message on the same day he announced that Stephen Miller, the architect of the widely unpopular immigration crackdown and other draconian human rights abuses, would be his next White House chief of staff, replacing Susie Wiles.
