During a wide-ranging interview where he went off on New York Attorney General Letitia James and reiterated his claim that the Ukraine war would have been avoided if he were still president, Donald Trump said the prospect of an impending World War III “keeps him up at night.”
He claimed that nuclear power has made the world the most dangerous place it has “ever” been and warned that current international affairs portend the end of the world.
The predictions of a potential WWIII, according to Trump, are based on the February-starting conflict between Russia and Ukraine as well as the escalating international dispute over the island nation of Taiwan and its independence from China.
What are the things that keep you up at night right now, John Catsimatidis asked Trump on his radio show on Tuesday evening. Trump responded, “I think more than anything, I think we could end up in World War III.”
The 45th president declared, “This is a very bad time to be using the word nuclear carelessly.” A very bad and dangerous time for the world, as well as a very bad and dangerous time for this nation.
Trump added that Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, would not have invaded Ukraine if he were still in charge. Putin, he claimed, began to question American leadership following President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan last summer.
Regarding the Afghanistan fiasco, Trump remarked, “I believe it was the most terrible and dreadful time – probably about the most shameful moment in the history of our country.” “I believe Putin noticed that,”
Trump said that if he were still in office, “but he would have never done it, there would have never been an issue.” He was not intending to enter Ukraine, and he was aware of the repercussions.
He said, “What occurred in Ukraine should have never ever happened.”
Russia has been attacking Ukraine for seven months, and on Tuesday, the Kremlin conducted a referendum that allows Moscow to annex a portion of the country in Eastern Europe.
Further introspecting, when the New York attorney general filed fraud charges against James for his business connections with the Trump Organization, Trump also had some harsh words for James during his interview.
Trump got off topic while talking about the rising violence in the nation’s most populous city, which he once called home, and launched an attack at its leftist AG, calling her a “horror show.”
“There are killers wandering along the street.” It’s really awful. When describing James’ leadership, Trump added, “She’s a horror show, she’s so horrible.” She is unconcerned about violent crime.
He said on the 77 WABC radio program Cats at Night, “She doesn’t care about anything other than attempting to utilize Trump’s name to be elected.” She’s a mess, and everyone is aware of it. She performed horribly.
Trump, a native New Yorker, went to the red state of Florida in the midst of his administration with his wife Melania, son Barron, 16, and Mar-a-Lago mansion at his Palm Beach club as their new permanent abode.
Since they are “the ones who provide it the money so that it can work,” he said that “rich individuals leaving New York” is aggravating existing problems for the city and state.
“I don’t know what’s going to happen to New York if this keeps on,” she said.
Trump used the Fifth Amendment for hours during a deposition at James’ office last month to obstruct her inquiry into his financial operations, which is unrelated to any other inquiries into Trump’s activities as president.
While Trump was in New York City, the FBI was searching his Mar-a-Lago home as part of an investigation into whether he stole possibly sensitive items and records from the White House before leaving office.
Trump also discussed some of his favorite topics during the interview, including criticizing Biden for his “open border” policies and lamenting the nation’s economic difficulties, which include record-high inflation and gas costs.
Trump will run for president once again in 2024, according to the roundtable discussion on the radio program.
The former president has regularly said at rallies and in interviews that his choices would be made “very soon,” even though he hasn’t officially declared a run for the White House.
He’s running, without a doubt, the panelist informed Catsimatidis. He is speaking in a political manner.
