Trump was so unhinged during a phone interview that Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo was trying desperately to get him off the air.
Trump went on a rant as Fox Business was trying to end the interview
Trump starts rambling about his FBI conspiracy, and Bartiromo cuts him off by saying thank you very much. Trump goes on for another thirty seconds ranting about James Clapper and John Brennan, and Bartiromo again tries to end the interview. Trump ignores her and raves for another twenty seconds about Hillary Clinton paying for the Steele Dossier. It took her almost 20 more seconds to be able to get a word in and end the interview.

LOL — @MariaBartiromo desperately tried to wrap up her phone interview with Trump, but Trump refused to stop talking about "cleaning the swamp" and how Clapper is "a dumb guy." pic.twitter.com/z1NrlTHw7d

Has Trump gotten too crazy for Fox News?
Trump used to know how to deliver a sound bite, but he has turned into a rambling loon with no concept of delivering a message to the audience. Trump was a mess during that interview. Bartiromo isn’t the first Fox host to have these issues. Trump has a habit of calling into Fox and Friends and rambling about whatever is on his mind for as long as he wants.
The president’s behavior is not that of a vibrant and young man.
Trump is this close to standing on the street corner and yelling no collusion at clouds.
Donald Trump has become too crazy for even Fox News to tame.
