Long before Donald Trump was elected president, a British interviewer related an incident that she now finds amusing.
Ruby Wax is a 70-year-old comedian who has been a regular host of various shows on the BBC for a long time. Although she isn’t well-known outside of the UK, she was ejected from the plane of Trump, the billionaire real estate developer at the time, in the 1990s after she made fun of him for declaring his desire to become president.
During an appearance on Kate Garraway’s ITV chat show, Wax recounted the tale.
The BBC fixture claimed that the interviewee would share “really personal things” with her during the mandatory pre-interview meals, which she would then avoid discussing in the formal interview.
However, Wax claims that’s not exactly how things turned out with Trump.
Wax clarified, “You know, Donald, when a man treats you like an idiot, you kind of become an idiot.” “Because he simply has sex with women, he knows them.” However, he was unable to identify me. He was truly ferocious and vicious. “You’re smiling and angry,” he said. I was backed into a corner, so he got me.
“I thought it was a joke when he said, ‘I want to be the next president of the United States,’” she added. “I started laughing because I thought, ‘This guy has a great sense of humor.’” “That’s it, I want her off the flight,” he added.
Therefore, we only reached 33,000 feet before immediately descending once more. She continued, “It’s not a good show” (watch the video below).
On “Good Morning Britain,” Wax related the story to Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins, claiming that Trump “wouldn’t speak” after she made fun of his aspirations to become president.
According to the U.K. Mirror, she said, “My crew and I landed and we were stuck in Arkansas with nowhere to go.” “We discovered him judging a Miss Nebraska pageant in Nebraska.”
Despite days of indignation from Democrats, establishment Republicans, and mainstream media outlets over the president’s ambitious trade changes, President Trump’s approval rating has risen to almost all-time highs.
Even after sweeping tariffs were placed on dozens of trading partners on April 2, Trump’s support rating rose, according to a new poll by J.L. Partners and the Daily Mail that polled 1,000 registered voters between March 31 and April 3.
According to the study, Trump’s approval rating rose to 53 percent, up four points from the poll conducted last week, which had it at 49 percent. Given the extreme pressure and stock market crash that took place on Thursday and Friday, the Daily Mail described the result as “surprising.”
Since March 7, Trump’s popularity among voters between the ages of 18 and 29 has increased by an incredible 13 points.
According to the study, Trump is leveraging the enormous support he received from the demographic in the November presidential election, when voters between the ages of 18 and 29 shifted 10 points in his favor after strongly endorsing Joe Biden in 2020.
The study found that among registered Democrats and independents, the president’s support rating rose by six percentage points. Since last week’s poll, the president’s popularity among black voters has risen by 17 points.
Trump has received a very positive report card from American employers and job board leaders nearly a year into his presidency, stating that they think the economy “can win now,” despite the fact that it hasn’t “started to win yet.”
TaChelle Lawson, founder and author of FIG Strategy & Consulting and a Freedom Economy Index (FEI) respondent, told Fox News Digital, “I would give President Trump, right now, a pretty solid B+.”
He arrived with a very specific plan that centered on economics. He’s cutting the fat and prioritizing business. Business operators and small business owners recognize and value that. He is obviously focused on American business, in my opinion,” she continued. “But I do believe that the messaging needs some improvement.”
Lawson participated in the most recent quarterly survey conducted by RedBalloon and PublicSquare, which included over 50,000 small business owners. According to Fox Business, the poll found that over two-thirds of participants now anticipate either “slow” or “robust” growth for the entire year, which is a radical change from the earlier pessimistic prediction.
We are currently witnessing a very ailing economy that requires very potent medication. Additionally, RedBalloon CEO Andrew Crapuchettes told Fox that if it receives that medication, “we all feel like we have a very strong economy that will win and will actually be a huge blessing to the entire world.”
“Because we feel like we can have a disproportionately positive impact on the entire planet when the U.S. economy is strong, and when small businesses in the U.S. economy are strong,” he added. “A lot of excellent work is being done, but more work is required if the economy is to truly improve.”
These small businesses now feel as though the 100th day of Trump’s presidency is approaching. PublicSquare CEO Michael Seifert continued, “They love that one of the things that President Trump and this administration more broadly are tackling is the overregulation, the red tape seeded in bureaucracy that seeks to stifle business growth.”
