The former President spoke to Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Wednesday night during a 40-minute interview, ranging over Ukraine, energy policy, and inflation. He announced that Obama and Biden had made big mistakes with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, blaming them for having “drove those two big monsters together.”
Trump, who states he is still weighing whether to run in 2024, was asked by his friend Hannity what he would do differently if he wins a second term. “I think one of the things I would do differently is that I found the media is so corrupt, that I would really not focus on them almost at all - I just focus on getting the job done for the American people,” he stated. “You cater to the media, you deal with the media. They’re very dishonest, they write the opposite things, they have sources that aren’t sources. They’re an unbelievably dishonest - hence the name fake news.” “I think really I would be focused on getting the job done, getting our country back - our country has never been in a position that it is right now, with disrespected all over the world.”

Bitter regarding the reporting on his presidency, Trump explained he had been cheated by the media - blaming them for failing to report on Hunter Biden’s business dealings and rather obsessing regarding the “Russia, Russia, Russia hoax.”

He was enraged by the lawsuits filed against him. “I've gone through, in five years, more investigations than Al Capone, Jesse James, and Billy the Kid put together,” he told a laughing Hannity. “If I fly over a Democrat state in my airplane, I end up before a grand jury.” “It’s a disgrace, and the people of this country aren’t going to take it.” “They have weaponized law enforcement, essentially.”

lashed out at his former attorney general, Bill Barr, for being afraid of impeachment and announced he told Barr not to worry because impeachment had assisted his own ratings. Turning to Ukraine, Trump emphasized that he had strengthened NATO by making other members pay their fair share and announced he cautioned Angela Merkel, the German former chancellor, against relying too much on Russia for their oil.
“Don't forget, I rebuilt NATO,” he stated.
