  2. “Trump says he had every right to destroy American democracy, divide the United States with his extremist group, spread racist and sexist biases, and be a selfish asshole with every bad intention”

  3. My hope is this election ends his political career. I’m sick of this gasbag.

  4. If we don’t vote with overwhelming majority this will be our future .

    It’s 2027, and the full weight of Project 2025 has crushed what was once the land of the free. The United States has transformed into a theocratic dictatorship under Christian nationalism, where religious doctrine dictates every aspect of life. The government enforces a rigid moral code, criminalizing anything deemed “immoral” by the state. Women have lost the right to choose, forced into lives defined by patriarchal control, with strict bans on contraception and abortion. The LGBTQ+ community has been pushed into the shadows, their existence illegal, with severe punishments for those who dare to love who they love or express their true identity.

    Freedom of speech is a distant memory, as dissenting voices are silenced through imprisonment or worse. The media has become a tool of propaganda, broadcasting only state-approved messages, while books, films, and art that challenge the regime’s ideals have been banned or destroyed. People live in fear, constantly under surveillance, knowing that even a whispered criticism could lead to ruin. The dream of democracy has withered away, replaced by a nightmare where the government enforces not just laws, but belief. The America we once knew is gone, and in its place stands a cold, unrecognizable nation where freedom is just a word from a forgotten past.

  5. Whats most frustrating is not that Trump get’s away with this is that he’s one of so many entitled white men that get away with this; and too few people recognize the Trumpites in our communities.

  6. Kamala is right, hand him the microphone and leave it on, let him speak his truth so that everyone knows who he has become.

  8. Fun fact: He does not.

    Second fun fact : He just admitted at doing something illegal…again.

  9. When he makes these confessions, he is very well aware that this doesn’t affect his standing amongst his cult, and slightly less cult of voters.

    Us, on the other sides of the isle might find these damning, but people who were gonna vote for him will still do.

    That’s where we are at with the political climate of the US. I just hope the upcoming election loss flushes away the turd that is Trump.

  10. Every right to interfere with state’s rights, as they are the ones who oversee their elections?

    Hmmm.

  11. This election WILL be closer than we think. I’ve met many people who are silent supporters of his, they just don’t say it out loud because they’re embarrassed- trust me on this.

    He NEEDS to be stopped at the ballot box. This is not a joke. Especially with our Republican-leaning courts now, we have to vote in big numbers.

    If he wins this democracy as we know it is over. Please, please get the vote out in swing states.

  12. Surely this is an exaggeration and he didn’t say th… welp, he did say that.

  13. weren’t you the one who went balls to the wall witch trial mode on anyone and everyone who said that you fairly and legally lost the last election? real rich orange man

  14. Must spread this news to as many people you know as possible, especially Republicans, Independents and Undecided.

    If come this Election, Kamala STILL loses to this MORON, then our country is truly fucked and sad… do most in our country want someone to rig the election so HE can keep winning?

  15. Only a quarter of the population has to register and vote blue to preserve democracy. If the rest can’t be bothered or want to make the orange oompa loompa king we’ll all be suffering the consequences for years.

  16. His supporters post after seeing this. “Thank you President Trump for saving our country, we love you.”

  17. Are insurrections a protected presidential duty now per the SCOTUS ruling?

  20. And there it is, he admits to being involved in election fraud and thinks he’s safe.

  21. Jail when? I don’t give a fuck enough for any other answers, just sentence his fucking ass.

  22. Supreme Court: It’s an official act for a president to interfere with a presidential election.

    Biden proceeds to interfere with the election*

    Supreme Court: wait.. no not like that!

  24. So if he said that’s why he interfered in the election. Isn’t that a confession to being a strong threat to democracy as we know it? And, allowing President Biden to take him out to continue to save democracy in “this” election?! I mean the SCOTUS had already ruled a sitting president is immune from any prosecution. The GOP hard core orange Nazi lovers would be pissed but, it’s to save democracy and they would give 2 shits if mango Mussolini sis that to “save” his kingdom….. just a out loud thought.

  25. He spends a whole lotta time talking about HIS RIGHTS. His Project 2025 talks about losing ours.

  27. Stop calling it Fox News!
    It’s Fox entertainment

  28. Isn’t it neat almost half the country thinks he should have they right?

  29. Unfortunately in a court lawyers need to find evidence to back it up, and his words alone are not a solid case. Any defender can justify insanity, different wording and so forth. Nothing much of a case here

  30. How can anyone actually believe in this sociopathic degenerate?  FDT

  31. saying he has every right to interfere with an election while whining about legal cases against him count as election interference.

  32. When Nixon said “when the president does it, it’s not illegal” it was considered a *big fucking deal*. This MF better not get a pass for it.

  33. Is he going to write a book, “If I did it?”

  35. But if Mark Zuckerberg does it is a crime. If Putin does it’s fine. If Dan Junior does it’s fine.

  36. Newsweek is going to make all of us go crazy – both sides of politics. Downvote them.

  37. It’s honestly sad how many of us pretend like there’s such a thing as partisan. That they’d ever let US pick who rules. We need to wake up.

  40. You or I would be in jail for life with the amout of crime this asshole has committed especially given his age, yet when it comes to the presidency… sorry says the courts, we just gotta leave that decision up to America!

  44. Isn’t he actively in court for election interference? Maybe not in court, but isnt that what just got sent back to court after the last judge dismissed the case? I can’t keep up anymore. There’s just way too much lol. If he is, I hope this interview is admitted in to evidence. He literally just told on himself even though he said he was “not guilty” lol

  45. Good for Trump! Judge Merchan has some interference for him coming soon.

  46. didn’t he launch a full campaign against this very thing? stop the steal?

  48. This guy is mistaking that “immunity” smoke that Clarence Thomas blew up his ass for actual pixie dust.
