Following the brutal blue tsunami that just rained hell down on Donald Trump and the Republican Party as a whole, it seems the president has grown desperate enough for attention, support, and a platform to air out all his thoughts and grievances that he’s now resorted to making late-night call-ins to C-SPAN.
Late last night, the president called in to the premiere of Washington Journal Primetime, where host Mimi Geerges welcomed him on.
But people paid little attention to what the president had to say, as they were too wrapped up in figuring out who Trump’s mystery girl was.
In the seconds between Trump’s call being answered and Trump actually speaking, a woman giggling quite close to the phone can be heard coming through the line from the president’s end. As you can imagine, several prominent social media users clipped the moment, including MeidasTouch’s Acyn Torabi and independent journalist Aaron Rupar.
While Torabi noted that it “sounds like an unidentified woman is giggling on Trump’s end during his call to CSPAN,” Rupar took it a step further, noting that the unidentified giggler “didn’t sound like Melania.”
A woman that didn’t sound like Melania could be heard giggling in the background with Trump during the opening seconds of his call in to C-SPAN. Note that the C-SPAN host went on to grill him with some tough questions! https://t.co/qyl8kv5lyS

While we have no solid verification as to the giggler’s identity, and probably never will, I’m sure you can imagine what everyone guessed:
It has to be Natalie Harp giggling, right?

If you can tear your attention away from that bizarre moment, the president’s call-in itself wasn’t much better.
Trump and host Mimi Geerges spoke for roughly eight minutes, during which the president explained that he enjoys watching the call-in segments of C-SPAN “because it gives me a little bit of an indication of where we are. I do OK on there. We have some great Republicans calling in, and I’m not so sure the Democrats are thrilled, but the Republicans seem to be.”
She went on to grill him on topics ranging from his 60 Minutes interview to immigration and Venezuela during the impromptu phone appearance.
