A day doesn't go by where Donald Trump isn't going after somebody. On some days he veers off and decides to slam Megyn Kelly. On others his wrath stays on the political spectrum.

But as luck (or work and effort) would have it, it appears the WTF podcast host and star of IFC's Maron may very well be interviewing President Barack Obama on his oh, so popular podcast next week. But with the recent, and terribly unfortunate, Charleston church shooting that recently took place, we're not so positive it'll go down with the POTUS. Read More »
