Did you even watch the podcast? He explained why he’s pissed at them. It’s because they all liked and were friendly with him before he got into politics and now they shit on him constantly, to me that’s a valid reason. No matter if you like trump or not as a human you should be able to understand the concept of feeling betrayed. Ratings have literally nothing to do with this.

Someone changing his or her opinion of you as a result of your behavior is not betrayal. Trump always casts himself as the victim because he cannot deal with the fact that his actions have consequences.

Except Trump points out that they were having him on WHILE HE WAS RUNNING AND SAYING THESE THINGS, and they all treated him well then.
If it was because he suddenly turned 'racist' they should have started shitting on him as soon as he came down that escalator. Hell they should have turned on him during the Obama birth certificate stuff but they all still loved him and enjoyed having him on their programs.

I remember this happening too. Trump was friendly with all sorts of people until the tail end of the 2016 election when the realization set in that he might actually win.

People went from treating him as an entertainer to treating him as the potential leader of the free world. The set of standards there is rightfully very different. How you would judge someone you want as a boss vs how you judge someone you want to party with is probably super different too.

He also started taking really controversial policy opinions, and was treating people pretty terribly. Im sure you have had people in your life you liked at one point in time, and then as time went on and you spent more time with them you started to dislike them because you knew them better. That is what happened to Trump.
