Trump Wants Interviews Replayed Without Sound

December 31, 2016 at 10:26 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Chuck Todd tells Politico that after several appearances as a candidate on Meet the Press, Donald Trump would lean back in his chair and request that the control room replay his appearance on a monitor without sound.

Said Todd: “He wants to see what it all looked like. He will watch the whole thing on mute.”

He added: “He’s a very visual guy. He thinks this way, and look, it’s an important insight in just understanding him. The visual stuff is very real beyond just himself.”
