Newsweek reached out to Trump's representative via email for comment on Wednesday.
The Context
Steinberg is a YouTuber and podcast host. He's a member of the Nelk Boys or Nelk—a YouTube channel known for prank videos. The group voiced their support for Trump throughout the 2024 presidential election and hosted him on their Full Send Podcast in October.
What To Know
On last week's episode of The Adam Friedland Show, host and comedian Adam Friedland asked Steinberg if he did any prep ahead of his interview with Trump and whether he looked at his outfit in the mirror.
"Nah," Steinberg said, adding: "He made a comment about that."
"About your 'fit?" Friedland asked.
"Mine and Kyle's when we went on Trump Force One. 'Thanks for dressing up for the occasion,'" Steinberg recalled Trump saying.
The influencer and his Full Send Podcast co-host, Kyle Forgeard—a 2022 member of Forbes' 30 Under 30 list—both interviewed Trump in October 2024. Trump's Boeing 757 private jet was nicknamed Trump Force One.

When Friedland asked Steinberg if he thought Trump's remark was a "compliment," he said: "No, I thought it was disrespect."
He added: "I told him, 'You wear the same thing every day, bro, I'm switching it up.'"
"You disrespected our president?" Friedland asked, to which Steinberg replied: "I said, 'Respectfully, sir.'"
Later on in the interview, Steinberg said that he supports Trump and "our whole team supports Trump."
Trump previously praised Nelk too, calling them "modern-day stars" and the "modern-day Johnny Carson."
In addition to Trump, Full Send's guests have included JD Vance, when he was not yet vice president, and Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
"I think it's just the views and the content that we put out," Steinberg said as to how they've booked high-profile interviews. "The views are good and so they see the value in them collab-ing with us and the content's funny, so they like it."

Senate GOP readies ‘nuclear' option, set for August break after nominations deal falls apart
The Senate is set to finally begin its August recess without a deal on nominations as Republicans are intent on moving forward with a rules change to limit length of time spent on individual nominees enable President Trump's selections to be confirmed more expeditiously due to a Democratic blockade. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) had been trading offers throughout Friday night and Saturday. However, they were unable to seal the deal on a package that would have allowed roughly two dozen nominees to be approved before the month-long August break, which lawmakers have been anxious for. In exchange for allowing the group of non-controversial nominees to be approved, Schumer had been pushing for billions of dollars of restored funding in foreign aid and for the National Institutes of Health. Trump, however, made clear that he would not throw his weight behind that agreement. 'Senator Cryin' Chuck Schumer is demanding over One Billion Dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified nominees, who should right now be helping to run our Country. This demand is egregious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing to the Republican Party if it were accepted,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'It is political extortion, by any other name,' Trump continued. 'Tell Schumer, who is under tremendous political pressure from within his own party, the Radical Left Lunatics, to GO TO HELL! Do not accept the offer, go home and explain to your constituents what bad people the Democrats are, and what a great job the Republicans are doing, and have done, for our Country. Trump went on to tell lawmakers: 'Have a great RECESS and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!' Instead, Senate Republicans are expected to go 'nuclear' on nominees once they reconvene in September by moving to change the rules with 51 votes needed. That would likely involve chopping down the time between cloture and confirmation votes to a fraction of the current time. Democrats are forcing a full two hours of consideration for many of the lower-level administration nominees and judicial choices the Senate is currently moving through. As its last action before recess, the Senate moved to process seven additional nominees, including longtime Fox News personality Jeanine Pirro to become U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and former Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.) to lead the Federal Transit Administration.

Until Trump fired her, she was an economist with bipartisan support
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up She graduated from Bard College with a bachelor's degree in social sciences, and she obtained a doctorate in economics at Virginia Tech. Advertisement A photo provided by the US Bureau of Labor shows US Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. McEntarfer led the agency that produced key data on jobs and inflation but was fired by Trump after July's report showed a weakening economy. U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR/NYT She began her career as an economist at the Census Bureau, where she worked for six years, according to her LinkedIn profile. In 2008, she joined the Treasury Department, where she analyzed the president's budget as well as the effect of tax policy proposals on revenue. McEntarfer returned to the Census Bureau in 2010, assuming more of a leadership role. She became the head of research for the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program, which is responsible for developing new statistics on postsecondary employment outcomes and quarterly workforce indicators. Advertisement She also served on the White House Council of Economic Advisers in the Biden administration, advising senior White House officials on labor market data. Her time on the council came as the labor market was recovering from the pandemic. McEntarfer hasn't commented on her firing publicly, and it wasn't clear what she would do next. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer said Friday that William Wiatrowski, the deputy commissioner, would serve as acting commissioner until a replacement was found. In a statement Friday, a group called the Friends of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, made up of former commissioners who served in both Democratic and Republican administrations, denounced Trump's move to fire her. It accused the president of wanting someone to blame for the unwelcome economic news. 'The commissioner does not determine what the numbers are but simply reports on what the data show,' the group said. 'The process of obtaining the numbers is decentralized by design to avoid opportunities for interference.' McEntarfer's role as commissioner was largely about managing and overseeing the agency of more than 2,000 nonpartisan staff members. Her predecessor, William Beach, is a member of the Friends group and was appointed by Trump during the president's first term. 'The totally groundless firing of Dr. Erika McEntarfer, my successor as commissioner of labor statistics at BLS, sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the statistical mission of the bureau,' he said Friday.

Senate confirms former Fox News host Pirro as top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate has confirmed former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro as the top federal prosecutor for the nation's capital, filling the post after President Donald Trump withdrew his controversial first pick, conservative activist Ed Martin Jr. Pirro, a former county prosecutor and elected judge, was confirmed 50-45. Before becoming the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in May, she co-hosted the Fox News show 'The Five' on weekday evenings, where she frequently interviewed Trump. Trump yanked Martin's nomination after a key Republican senator said he could not support him due to Martin's outspoken support for rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Martin now serves as the Justice Department's pardon attorney. In 2021, voting technology company Smartmatic USA sued Fox News, Pirro and others for spreading false claims that the company helped 'steal' the 2020 presidential election from Trump. The company's libel suit, filed in a New York state court, sought $2.7 billion from the defendants. Last month, Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to send Pirro's nomination to the Senate floor after Democrats walked out to protest Emil Bove's nomination to become a federal appeals court judge. Pirro, a 1975 graduate of Albany Law School, has significantly more courtroom experience than Martin, who had never served as a prosecutor or tried a case before taking office in January. She was elected as a judge in New York's Westchester County Court in 1990 before serving three terms as the county's elected district attorney. In the final minutes of his first term as president, Trump issued a pardon to Pirro's ex-husband, Albert Pirro, who was convicted in 2000 on conspiracy and tax evasion charges.
