In a surprising turn of events, former President Donald Trump appeared fatigued during a live interview on a podcast with his loyal supporter Dan Bongino. About 30 minutes into the conversation, Trump suddenly said, “I gotta get going,” and ended the session abruptly, seemingly unaware that the interview was still live.
This incident follows reports from Trump’s campaign adviser, who allegedly told The Shade Report that the former president is “exhausted and refusing interviews.” At 78, Trump would be the oldest president to take office if elected in the upcoming November elections. However, despite public concern, Trump has yet to release his medical records, raising questions about his health as he embarks on another grueling campaign trail.
During the podcast, Bongino highlighted his “super, extra MAGA” audience, describing them as “the darkest MAGA of all,” in reference to staunch supporters of Trump’s policies. However, the interview came to a sudden stop when Trump abruptly ended it. Bongino issued an apology to both Trump and his viewers shortly after.

The unexpected end to the interview caused a wave of reactions on social media, with users expressing concern over Trump’s health. One person tweeted, “Is Trump okay? Confusion as ‘exhausted’ ex-president abruptly ends friendly interview.”
This episode has reignited discussions about Trump’s stamina and ability to manage the demands of another term in office. Former White House physician Jeffrey Kuhlman recently shared his thoughts on Trump’s health, stating that while Trump appears in good health for his age, he is “overweight” and shows signs of “cognitive decline in reasoning, memory, and processing speed.” These comments add fuel to growing concerns about Trump’s fitness for office.
Adding to the political tensions, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign wasted no time taking a jab at the former president. A post from her campaign’s official X account (formerly Twitter) read, “Trump abruptly ends his live interview after it is reported that he is canceling interviews because he is ‘exhausted.’ Off the record, I gotta get going.”
As Trump continues his campaign, many are left wondering whether his exhaustion will affect his ability to lead effectively if he wins the 2024 election. His refusal to release his medical records has only deepened speculation.
