I forgot that people use to interview Trump without hating him. It's nice to see.

Back in the days when a BBC interviewer would ask a question and wait for the answer.

Sadly, long gone.

Who’s watching in 2024
Wow just wow 😮
This is incredible

This interview shows that Trump hasn't changed but it also shows that the BBC has. And not for the better.

[tonymarino]

It's amazing because he talks the same way now as he did back then. That's how you know he's authentic.

[vulcanstein]

Never ever saw any "politician" who has the exact same mentality 3 and 4 DECADES later!! Thats REAL!!

[pattiwilliams]

Most consistent. Most thoughtful. Most genuine, authentic, courageous & honest.

[julescapper]

It's pretty sad to think that the BBC would never do a neutral interview like this anymore, because it doesn't fit their political agenda

[spinebuster]

The interviewer is not accusing Trump of stuff which is an everyday thing today.

[munkee]

Trump has been tremendously consistent since the eighties.

[ZanzibarFar]

Can you see how consistent and truthful he is, you can take any interview, from any period, and it's like hearing him speak 2 days ago.

[DrainAddict]

What a cool fella! Australia supports you Trump.

[michaelalexander]

I love that this has resurfaced.
The consistency is telling.

[michaelfalgares]

He’s always been the same person. He warned everyone. Don’t mess with him. Eye for an eye

[TheConduit]

You have to say Trump is consistent, still playing it straight down the line.

1998 "I think a lot of the press is dishonest". President Trump had their number years ago!

[MyKdog]

I should have watched this before. This is definitely a reason to like him.

[ubivermiscerritulus]

I wish he could be on a podcast, he's a very interesting person.

[bornedintheusa]

People were better listeners, more humane, compassionate and timeless back then.

[pekkle]

He is very honest, telling it like it is. Even if it is not the popular opinion.
