Trump used the prime time slot to discuss his plan for Afghanistan, much to the chagrin of the dating competition's fans.

“Unless Donald Trump is telling us who the next bachelor is, I don't care,” tweeted one fan of the show.

“Trump interrupts bachelor in paradise to make speech. Impeach,” was another tweet.

Host Chris Harrison had warned viewers that the East Coast broadcast would be interrupted, tweeting: “Sadly, the president's speech will eclipse Bachelor in Paradise tonight. But ABC will be showing it later for those that get Trump'd.”

Over on the West Coast, the show ran as scheduled, at 8 p.m.

On Tuesday night, DeMario Jackson returns to the show in tears to address the scandal that erupted after he was accused of taking advantage of castmate Corrine Olympios while she was drunk.
