Trump Won’t Quit: Even If Convicted, He Still Wants to Be President 😲🇺🇸
Former President Donald J. Trump said on Tuesday that he would continue campaigning for the White House even if convicted of a crime. 🏛️🚓
This was his first national media interview since pleading not guilty last week to 34 felony charges related to a hush-money scandal during his 2016 White House bid. Mr. Trump praised the strongmen leaders of several other countries, criticized the “sick, radical” Democrats, and suggested that not even jail time would stop him from running for president. 😮🚔
“I’d never drop out, it’s not my thing,” Mr. Trump said when asked on Fox News about a potential conviction.
In addition to his criminal charges in New York, the former president is facing several other criminal investigations: One is related to his attempts to overturn election results in Georgia, another is about his efforts to hold on to power in Washington after losing re-election, and a third is about his handling of classified documents at his home in South Florida. 🌴🏠
The hourlong interview was his first with Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson since private text messages, revealed as part of a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the cable channel by Dominion Voting Systems, showed Mr. Carlson’s disdain for the former president. 📺💰
Although Mr. Carlson referred to Mr. Trump as “a demonic force, a destroyer” in one text message from early 2021 and added “I hate him” in another, on Tuesday he traveled to Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in South Florida for what Mr. Carlson described on his show as “a rare venture outside the studio for us.” The interview took up his entire program. 📹🌞
“For a man caricatured as an extremist,” Mr. Carlson said about Mr. Trump at the start of the show, “we think you’ll find what he has to say moderate, sensible, and wise.” 💡
During the interview, which mostly focused on foreign policy, Mr. Trump said that Democratic leaders were a bigger threat to the nation than foreign dictators. 🌏🕴️
Mr. Trump referred to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia as “very smart,” said that Saudi Arabia’s leaders were “great people,” and called President Xi Jinping of China a “brilliant man.” He also said that “the biggest problem” for the United States wasn’t foreign actors but “these sick, radical people from within” the country. 🇷🇺🇸🇦🇨🇳
The former president said that he was able to handle Russia and China from the White House, and described an interaction with Mr. Putin in which he told the Russian leader that he couldn’t invade Ukraine. Mr. Trump didn’t mention that he had been impeached for initiating a pressure campaign on Ukraine, including an internal push to withhold military aid, to investigate his political rivals. 🌍🔥
Speaking about his arraignment exactly one week earlier, Mr. Trump said he felt supported by members of the courthouse staff. ⚖️💼
