Talk about your high-placed pitchman...

President Donald Trump phoned the "Rick & Bubba" radio show, a syndicated program based in Birmingham, Monday morning to talk about his support for Alabama Senate candidate Luther Strange. At the end of the 15-minute segment - the first radio spot interview the president said he'd done since taking office - host Rick Burgess rather hesitatingly asked the Leader of the Free World if he'd do a short promo for the program.

Such promos, commonly referred to as liners, typically have a celebrity or well-known person talking about the program.

"You don't ask the president for a liner, do you?" Burgess asked co-host Bill "Bubba" Bussey as the Trump interview was ending.

"Ask him!" Bussey replied.

"Mr. President what I'm about to do right now if it's not classy just say 'Burgess I can't do that' but if we could have you say "this is Donald Trump, president of the United States and you're listening to the Rick and Bubba Show" but if you don't think you should do that we understand."

"I should definitely not do it but I will do it," Trump responded.

The president then said "This is Donald Trump, President of the United States. I love the state of Alabama and you're listening to the "Rick and Bubba Show," and enjoy it and if they ever switch allegiance, please do not run this whatever it is."
