On Thursday, NBA analyst, political commentator, and radio/podcast host Stephen A. Smith arrived at the White House to interview Donald Trump for his podcast Straight Shooter. He shared a 13-second preview of his arrival at the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing, where he set up for the interview and posed with President Trump. The video on X was captioned:“The Gloves are OFF. The Cameras are ON! My EXCLUSIVE sit-down with President Donald Trump drops TONIGHT only on my YouTube.”Sports and liberal political commentator Keith Olbermann slammed Stephen A. Smith and reacted to his interview with Trump with the caption:“The ‘gloves are off’ @stephenasmith interview with Trump turned out to be f****ting. There are few frauds in America greater than Smith. Trump is one of them, but Smith is gaining.”Stephen A. Smith shared another minute-long clip from the 48-minute interview, captioned:“Former President Barack Obama vs. President Donald Trump. If they ran against each other for a third term, WHO WINS?!”Keith Olbermann wrote in the comment section:“You're one of the great a** kissers of all time, Steve.”Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermannLINKYou're one of the great a** kissers of all time, SteveStephen A. Smith visited the White House last monthBefore sitting down with the U.S. President earlier this week, Stephen A. Smith visited the White House in October with Bill Maher and Kid Rock for a high-profile and controversial dinner.The country singer-songwriter said the group discussed the war in Iran, the midterm election, socialism, and more.Meanwhile, Smith claimed the dinner lasted four hours and that he was there to advocate for HBCU funding and the Black community. He said on his show:"Anytime I see HBCUs in trouble, I'm going to do what I can to help. It's just that simple."The sports analyst lauded Trump by saying that he “didn’t duck any smoke whatsoever.” He said on his podcast:“We were there for over four hours in the White House, and Donald Trump did not run from any questions.”The POTUS returned the favor by telling reporters at the time:“It was a great dinner; it was a very informative dinner. Smart people. Stephen A. is great.”Smith also appeared on The View and claimed that Trump described himself as “the greatest president who’s ever lived” during the dinner.After Bill Maher spoke against Trump on HBO’s Real Time, Donald Trump shared a different retelling of the dinner via a lengthy social media post. While he acknowledged Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock’s presence, he unleashed a tirade at Maher, calling him a “POTHEAD” and a “COMPLETE AND TOTAL LOSER.”“When I became President, I agreed to meet, after the first one, and the last one, but never agreed to do his show, which he wants me to do, DESPERATELY — It won’t happen!” Trump added.The POTUS claimed Kid Rock and former Apprentice staffer Chuck LaBella convinced him to sit down with Maher.“He invited himself to the White House! We had our first meeting; Bill was very nervous. He asked for a drink. He was very insecure...” Trump continued.However, the U.S. President disputed the length of the dinner as mentioned by Smith or how productive it was. Trump wrote:“Stephen A. Smith and Kid Rock came along with him. Overall, I thought it was a good meeting. It didn’t last four hours; it lasted two hours, maybe less, and everybody was happy. We have the timestamps. I learned nothing, and felt it was a waste of time.”During Thursday’s one-on-one interview with President Trump, Stephen A. Smith asked him about the Republicans’ midterm losses, the conflict with Iran, tariffs and their effect on the rising gas and grocery prices, HBCU funding, debating ‘fake News’ and political messaging, his criminal justice record, Trump’s history with Black voters, border security, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s scandal, and how the President intended to spend his next two years in office.When Trump was reminded by Smith that if he could compete for a third term as the President, so could Obama, the 80-year-old POTUS replied that he would “win” against the former Democratic President. Trump also doubled down on the claim that if he were on the “ballot,” the GOPs would have won the midterms.For those unaware, Stephen A. Smith has frequently floated the idea that he might run for president in 2028 as a Democrat and that no other Democrat could beat him. However, a recent poll showed that neither side of the political aisle liked him.Earlier, Smith condemned Trump for being unable to keep his “utterly ridiculous” promises and blamed the GOP for having “no spine whatsoever” against the President. Recently, Stephen also suggested that Secretary of State Marco Rubio could be the Republican presidential nominee in 2028 as he was the “real deal.”Donald Trump has yet to address his interview with Stephen A. Smith.
