Yep. I don't watch any of it. People that like either are just happy to be hearing what they want to hear.

Yeah, but did he really? I have no doubt he told her no. I hope it's true, but a part of me thinks she is just saying it to make Trump look bad, not realizing it just makes him look more savage than he already is.
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle joked that President-elect Donald Trump told her to ‘go f*** myself” after she tried to set up an interview with him before the election to discuss his Madson Square Garden campaign rally.
While noting that Trump profanely brushed off her invitation for a sitdown, Ruhle also used this anecdote as an example of how much more accessible Trump is to the press than President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris, who she claimed are nearly impossible to contact due to buffers put up by their staffs.
Appearing on Lukas Thimm’s live variety stage show So Many Issues, Ruhle brought up the wild MSG rally in October, which was described as “an orgy of fascism” and sparked outrage after a right-wing comic called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Ruhle said she “rolled the dice” and decided to call up Trump to see if he’d agree to talk to her about the fallout.
“I wasn’t calling to chit-chat. I said, ‘Mr. President, this is Stephanie Ruhle, you made a lot of comments last night,’ blah-blah-blah,” she noted. “It was not an on-the-record conversation, so I’m not going to get into what he said. But I called for one reason. I said, ‘You just said a whole bunch of public things. I’d like to sit down for an interview with you. We’ve got five days before the election.’ So we didn’t get anything, there’s nothing for me to report. I called, I said I want an interview. Obviously, he said no.”
According to Ruhle, the moral of the story was that she could quickly get Trump on the horn in a matter of minutes.
As for the current president and the then-Democratic presidential nominee, the process wasn’t nearly so simple.
“But my point is, I was able to get to him by dialing his phone. Now that might be completely apesh*t and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe people know this guy’s phone number,’ but the reverse of that, if I were to want to connect with VP Harris or President Biden, there’s 50 people between me and that,” she declared. “I could write a note that maybe could get to somebody to get somebody, then through Pony Express and a pigeon something might end up in a mailbox near them.”
In the end, Ruhle pointed out that even though she was able to dial up Trump right away, it still didn’t mean that he was going to agree to talk to the MSNBC host about the rally, especially considering his well-established animosity towards the liberal cable news network.
“And I called DJT to say, ‘Yo, can I get an interview?’ And he told me to go f*** myself, but I still was able to connect with him,” she concluded in jest to laughter.

That's all that comes out of her mouth.
