However, instead of addressing the issue head-on, he praised the hosts for their “great questions” and was quick to criticize “fake news.”

“But some of these questions are much better!” » Trump said.

“Well, thank you. I appreciate it, I'm honored,” co-host Akaash Singh replied, then playfully pointing out, “but you still haven't responded.”

“That was the best dodge of the question!” Schultz reacted.

“I’m trying to get through it,” Trump joked.

After speaking in more detail about the assassination attempts, Trump revealed to the “Flagrant” hosts his conversational tactics.

“I do a thing called weaving,” Trump said. “And there are those who are righteous who say, 'This guy is so great.' And then others said, “Oh, he rambled.”

“What you do is weave things together — and you do it,” Trump told Schulz. “You have to have certain things. You need an extraordinary memory, because you have to get back to where you started. A weave is only good if you can get back to it.”

“They don’t give you credit,” Schulz responded. “You can go this far.”

“I can go so far here or there,” Trump said, drawing big laughs from the co-hosts. “And I can go back exactly where I started. Now, someday, when you don't go back to where you started-“

“You’re Biden,” Schulz joked.

Trump later continued: “I call it weaving. And some people think it's so great. But the bad guys, what they say is, “You know, he was rambling. » I sat down, but there was no rambling. It’s a weave, I call it the right name… It’s another name. We had “fake news”. We came up with a lot of names, but weaving is… I think we should make “weaving” part of this basic element.

“You’re going to escape my question twice,” Singh laughed.

“I don’t even want to know the answer,” Schulz exclaimed.

“Let's get back to his question,” Trump joked before admitting that he “hates” answering the question because he was reluctant to falsely accuse anyone of being behind the assassination attempts.
