Fox News host tells Trump he has to cut off live interview in awkward snub to fired-up president

President Donald Trump joined Fox News host Larry Kudlow for a wide-ranging phone interview on Sunday Morning Futures, hitting on a flurry of subjects.

Towards the end of the nearly half-hour-long interview with a raspy-voiced Trump, Kudlow had to cut the President off, saying ‘I got to let you go,’ before adding ‘I’m going to get into trouble.’

Trump responded by saying, ‘Larry, we’re the hottest country anywhere in the world,’ before praising the host.

‘You just got good ratings, so they’re not going to bother you,’ to which Kudlow responded with a nervous chuckle.

‘Thank you, sir, safe travels today, and give em hell on the campaign trail,’ Kudlow added, trying once more to conclude the segment.

Trump then continued to lay on the praise, telling Kudlow, ‘I’m proud of you.’ 

Once again attempting to smooth over the end of his interview after the President hung up the phone, Kudlow chuckled and noted that he and Trump are ‘old friends’ and that he ‘loves talking to him.’

Earlier in the interview, Trump shared that he has ‘worked very hard,’ telling Kudlow that he has ‘done 14 rallies in 9 days,’ before admitting, ‘it’s a lot,’ which may offer an explanation for the raspy voice he appeared to have during the segment.

This is a breaking news story and will be updated.
