Trump says CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil wouldn’t have job if Kamala Harris had won

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

During a CBS Evening News interview, Donald Trump told anchor Tony Dokoupil that he wouldn't have his job if Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election, claiming the country would be "dead." Trump's comments come after Larry Ellison's family took control of CBS's parent company, Paramount Global, and his son David Ellison appointed Bari Weiss to shake up CBS News, leading to Dokoupil's hiring. Trump also mentioned David Ellison's attempt to acquire Warner Bros Discovery, suggesting Ellison's media empire might fail if Trump had lost the election. Dokoupil pushed back on Trump's claim, stating he believed he would still have the job regardless of the election outcome, to which Trump responded with a comment about a lower salary. The interview took place at a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan.
