Former president Donald Trump intends to skip the first Republican presidential primary debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday and instead plans to post a prerecorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson that will be released that night, according to a person briefed on the matter.

Trump advisers said the interview had already been recorded. It is not yet clear where the interview will appear. Carlson has started a show on X, formerly called Twitter, but Trump sees the platform as a rival to Truth Social, which he helped create.

    A taped video. Where they have cut out the failures and bumblings that would expose Trump as the idiot that he is. Even with a friendly journalist like Tucker, who will only ask pre-approved questions. And hope that Trump remembers the correct answers his lawyers taught him, or they’ll have to retake the scene.

    Way more interesting that whatever junk they broadcast would be the (complete) blooper wheel.
