After annoying Trump for around nine minutes over his arguments that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, the ex-President got angry and unexpectedly stopped the interview, which was expected to last for a 15-minute time slot.
Trump slammed RINOs – Republicans in Name Only – for acknowledging that he lost the election and specifically called out Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell as a "loser" during his Tuesday NPR interview for saying Joe Biden won in 2020.
The interview aggravated as Inskeep pressed Trump on his continuous claim that Democrats stole and "rigged" the election in favor of Biden. The 45th President noted as evidence of foul play that Biden's campaign event crowd sizes were minuscule compared to his massive rallies.

"Nobody believes – do you think Biden got 80 million votes?" Trump questioned Inskeep.
"It's true," he pushed back, clearly becoming frustrated with the back-and-forth.
"I don't believe it," Trump said.
"Let me ask you this question – how come Biden couldn't attract 20 people for a crowd? How come when he went to speak in different locations nobody came to watch? But all of the sudden he got 80 million votes. Nobody believes that, Steve."
"If you'll forgive me, maybe because the election was about you," Inskeep shot back.
"If I could just move on," he quickly turned deflected. "Are you telling Republicans in 2022 that they must press your case in the past election in order to get your endorsement, is that an absolute?"

"They're going to do whatever they want to do. Whatever they have to do, they're going to do," Trump responded.
The former President clarified that Republican contenders who are "smart" are conscious that the election fraud opinion is a winning issue because "people don't want it to happen again."

"People have no idea how big this issue is," Trump said.
"The only way it's not going to happen again, is you have to solve the problem of the presidential rigged election of 2020. So Steve, thank you very much. I appreciate it." Trump said.

"I want to ask about a court hearing yesterday on January 6, Judge Amit Mehta – he's gone, OK," Inskeep said.
