Ellen DeGeneres: Trump Is Not Welcome On My Show Because He’s Against Everything I Stand For [VIDEO]

The Daily Beast reports:



When the Today show’s Matt Lauer asked Ellen DeGeneres in a new interview if she would like to have President Donald Trump appear on her daytime talk show, she barely hesitated before saying, “Um, no.” That line got laughs and applause from her own studio audience, which stuck around to see Lauer interview DeGeneres after he served as her guest this week.

“Why wouldn’t someone like you want to sit down opposite the president of the United States?” Lauer wanted to know. “Because I’m not going to change his mind,” DeGeneres replied. “He’s against everything that I stand for.” DeGeneres said that she did meet Trump once during the early days of The Apprentice, even riding in his helicopter for a comedic bit, but has not spoken to him since he started running for president nearly two years ago.
