US: Trump Interview With Economic Club Of Chicago Underway Shortly

US
USNorth AmericaBulletGlobalFixed Income BulletsForeign Exchange BulletsRegionMarkets

Former President Donald Trump is shortly due to sit down for an interview with Bloomberg News and the Economic Club of Chicago. LIVESTREAM

  • According to a press release, Trump will be interviewed by Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait at an unspecified location in downtown Chicago.
  • After the event, Trump will travel to Georgia to record a Fox News town hall and speak at a rally in Atlanta at 19:30 ET 00:30 BST.
  • The interview is Trump's first since a rally in Pennsylvania that opened fresh accusations from Democrats that Trump may not have the mental acuity to serve a second White House term.
  • Trump said, after several attendees were taken ill: “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music... Who the hell wants to hear questions, right?”
  • The Washington Post notes: "For 39 minutes, Trump swayed, bopped — sometimes stopping to speak — as he turned the event into almost a living-room listening session…”
  • Although Trump's campaign events are often unconventional, the episode may play into Harris’ argument that Trump lacks the mental acuity for a second term - a potentially impactful accusation considering Trump's regular attacks on Biden’s age and mental capacity before his withdrawal from the race. 
  • CBS notes: "Harris has been putting pressure on Trump to release his medical records, with her campaign viewing their contrast in age as a salient argument. Trump is 78, and Harris turns 60 on Sunday.”
