Long before Donald Trump was elected president, a British interviewer related an incident that she now finds amusing.
Ruby Wax is a 70-year-old comedian who has been a regular host of various shows on the BBC for a long time. Although she isn’t well-known outside of the UK, she was ejected from the plane of Trump, the billionaire real estate developer at the time, in the 1990s after she made fun of him for declaring his desire to become president.
During an appearance on Kate Garraway’s ITV chat show, Wax recounted the tale.
The BBC fixture claimed that the interviewee would share “really personal things” with her during the mandatory pre-interview meals, which she would then avoid discussing in the formal interview.
However, Wax claims that’s not exactly how things turned out with Trump.
Wax clarified, “You know, Donald, when a man treats you like an idiot, you kind of become an idiot.” “Because he simply has sex with women, he knows them.” However, he was unable to identify me. He was truly ferocious and vicious. “You’re smiling and angry,” he said. I was backed into a corner, so he got me.
“I thought it was a joke when he said, ‘I want to be the next president of the United States,’” she added. “I started laughing because I thought, ‘This guy has a great sense of humor.’” “That’s it, I want her off the flight,” he added.
Therefore, we only reached 33,000 feet before immediately descending once more. She continued, “It’s not a good show” (watch the video below).
On “Good Morning Britain,” Wax related the story to Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins, claiming that Trump “wouldn’t speak” after she made fun of his aspirations to become president.
According to the U.K. Mirror, she said, “My crew and I landed and we were stuck in Arkansas with nowhere to go.” “We discovered him judging a Miss Nebraska pageant in Nebraska.”
