Now that the next President of the United States is set to be either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, many voters are trying to work out which candidate is the ‘least worst option’.
Now Ruby Wax has put forward her two cents’ worth. Giving a talk on her book A Mindfulness Guide For The Frazzled, Wax recalled her own first hand experience of Trump when she was sent to interview him fifteen years ago:
‘We should be in final flight mode. We should be going on all fours and getting out the claws because Donald Trump.’
The interview did not go to plan after she laughed at his plans to run for president:
‘I mean I interviewed this guy about 15 years ago and I got on his plane, about 33,000 ft up and he told me then that he was thinking about becoming the President of the United States and I started laughing and so he landed the plane.’
Happily there is still some video of their awkward exchange, in which Trump explains that he would replace Air Force One with his own private jet:
RW: You have a plane, you have a great life… why would you want to run for president?
DT: Well as president, we would save a lot of money with Air Force One, we wouldn’t need Air Force One. Think about how the taxpayers would benefit by that.
While Wax warns her fellow Americans against electing a president who wears a ‘ferret on his head’, Mr S suspects that his tax-saving pledge may actually endear him to voters.
