'Do the right thing!!!' Trump taunts CNN's Dana Bash ahead of Harris interview

Hours before CNN is set to air a pre-recorded sit down interview with Vice President Kamala Harris and her 2024 running mate Gov. Tim Walz, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to pressure anchor Dana Bash.

The interview is expected to garner a large national audience and that, apparently, has the former president unnerved — and goading the CNN anchor to put pressure on his presidential opponent. He told the household-name host to use the opportunity to become a star.

On Truth Social he wrote, "Dana Bash of CNN has a chance at greatness today. If she gave a fair but tough interview of Comrade Kamala Harris, she will expose her as being totally inept and ill suited for the job of President, much as I exposed Crooked Joe Biden during our now famous Debate. How cool would that be for Dana and CNN???"

He then added, "Also, the interview should not have Tampon Tim present to help with the inevitable Kamala stumbles, and under no circumstances should the transcript be allowed to be changed in any way, shape, or form. Dana and Jake were fair, but firm, in my CNN Debate with Crooked Joe. This is a chance for Dana Bash to reach REAL stardom, while at the same time doing a great service to our now failing Country. Good luck, Dana, do the right thing!!! DJT"
