Trump says CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil wouldn’t have job if Kamala Harris had won

US president also says Paramount Skydance chief David Ellison, whom he called ‘amazing’, could be ‘bust’ if he’d lost

During an interview with CBS Evening News, Donald Trump claimed new anchor Tony Dokoupil wouldn’t have his job if his opponent in the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris, had won.

“A year and a half ago, our country was dead,” he argued. “We had a dead country. You wouldn’t have a job right now. If she got in, you probably wouldn’t have a job right now… You wouldn’t have this job, certainly whatever the hell they’re paying you.”
