Female Interviewer Recounts Time She Was Booted Off Trump’s Plane
A British interviewer recently shared a humorous memory involving Donald Trump from years before he became president.
Ruby Wax, a 70-year-old American-born comedian, has been a familiar face on the BBC for many years, hosting numerous shows.
Though she isn’t widely recognized outside the UK, Wax once had an unforgettable encounter with then-real estate mogul Trump in the 1990s. During an interview setup, she laughed when he revealed his presidential ambitions—and was promptly removed from his plane.
Wax recounted the incident while appearing on Kate Garraway’s ITV talk show.
She explained that part of her interview process involved having informal pre-interview meals where guests would often share “really personal things” with her, details she never included in the formal interview.
However, her experience with Trump took an unexpected turn.
“Donald—you know, when a man treats you like an idiot, you kind of become an idiot,” Wax said. “Because he knows females because he just has sex with them. But he couldn’t figure me out. He really was so fierce and so vicious. He said, ‘You’re angry with a smile.’ So he got me—because I was backed into a corner.”
She continued, recalling Trump’s bold claim: “He did say, ‘I want to be the next president of the United States,’ and I thought it was a joke. I thought, ‘What a sense of humor this guy has.’ So I started laughing.”
That reaction didn’t sit well with Trump. “And he said, ‘That’s it, I want her off the flight.’”
As a result, the plane barely reached 33,000 feet before turning around. “So we only got to 33,000 feet, and we went straight back down again. It’s not a good show,” she added.
In a 2017 appearance on “Good Morning Britain,” Wax shared the same story with hosts Garraway and Charlotte Hawkins, stating that after she laughed at his presidential aspirations, Trump “wouldn’t speak.”
“So my crew and I landed and we were stuck in Arkansas with nowhere to go,” she recalled, as reported by the U.K. Mirror. “We ended up finding him in Nebraska judging a Miss Nebraska contest.”
WATCH:
Meanwhile, Trump remains the dominant candidate among Republicans, holding a substantial lead over his competitors despite facing multiple indictments.
Former Pennsylvania Senate candidate Sean Parnell recently told Breitbart News that, ahead of Trump’s Erie, Pa., rally, the Republican Party has been narrowing the voter registration gap with Democrats in the state—potentially making Trump’s path to victory in 2024 smoother than in 2020.
Breitbart reported: “A Pennsylvania Administration of Voter Registration 2022 Annual Report found that Republicans have increased their voter registration, while Democrats have lost voters.”
The report continued:
Since 2018, the number of voters registered as members of the Democratic Party decreased, the number of voters registered as members of the Republican Party increased, and the number of voters who chose to be unaffiliated or registered with a non-major party increased. Voter roll numbers adjusted unevenly across the Commonwealth; the net changes ranged from a registrant increase of 2.76% in Chester County to a registrant decrease of 9.60% in Indiana County.
“The state, technically, by the numbers, is trending more Republican,” Parnell observed. “One could make the argument that, Pennsylvania, in 2024, will be more favorable for President Trump than it was in 2020.”
Parnell also pointed out that Trump has officially endorsed the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) “Bank Your Vote” initiative, which encourages GOP supporters to vote early.
In a video statement, Trump explained: “This must change for us to win in 2024. We may not like the current system, but we need to master the rules and beat the Democrats at their own game, and then we can make our own rules. Republicans must get tougher and fight harder to cast our votes and get our ballots turned in earlier so Democrats can’t rig the polls against us on election day. We cannot let that happen. They rigged the election in 2020—we cannot let that happen in 2024.”
