On Thursday evening in Arizona, Donald Trump, a candidate for U.S. president, gave an interview to the well-known journalist Tucker Carlson. The U.S. is a “country of fools, run by fools,” the politician himself is a person with a “brilliant manner” of speaking, Kamala Harris is a “dunce” – this is just a small part of the “pearls” he sprinkled during the interview.
But one should not simply blame the politician on this basis, as everything he says is a direct portrait of those whom Trump has identified as his supporters, they like these things, and the majority of them are among his electorate. Therefore, behind every statement and “outrage” one should see the voters who enthusiastically react to such categorical and not very intelligent statements.
On Inflation and the Dollar
One of the main topics of their conversation was inflation in the U.S., which, according to Trump, the country is handling poorly. Trump warned that the U.S. dollar is gradually losing its status as the standard for international financial transactions. He also expressed confidence that under his leadership, this would not happen, hinting at his ability to “protect” the dollar from losing its dominant status.
“It’s Brilliance, Not Incoherence”
In his interview, Trump also responded to accusations of “incoherence in statements,” which are often brought against him. The politician noted that his way of speaking is “brilliant” and even compared it to crafty weaving, which unites various themes and brings them back to the main idea. “There is a difference between incoherence and brilliance,” Trump added, emphasizing that his way of communication is characterized by depth and complexity, which is often misunderstood.
Controversial Statements about “Nord Stream 2”
In a conversation with Carlson, Trump also expressed his views on the “Nord Stream 2” project, claiming that he “destroyed” the project. During his presidential term, Trump actively opposed the construction of the gas pipeline, imposing sanctions in 2019. However, his successor Joe Biden lifted these restrictions, leading Trump to accuse him of harming the American economy and making concessions to Russia. Trump also called those who consider him a supporter or agent of Russia “fools,” stating that such ideas are false and absurd.
Elon Musk and Robert Kennedy: New Forces in Trump’s Team?
In his interview, Trump praised the support from Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, hinting that he would be willing to offer him an influential position in his administration if he wins the elections. Musk actively supports Trump and is campaigning for him. Additionally, Trump mentioned Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., a politician with a controversial reputation as an anti-vaccination advocate and critic of modern medicine. Trump hinted that Kennedy could also receive an important position in his administration, acknowledging his steadfast views and determination.
Kamala Harris: Insulting Comments and Victory Prediction
Trump has repeatedly criticized his opponent Kamala Harris, calling her “a person with a low IQ” and comparing her to “a dull pick.” Trump also noted that the previous Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, despite her deceitfulness, at least understood what she was lying about, whereas Harris, in his opinion, is incapable of even realizing her mistakes. Trump also stated that under the current situation in the country, “we are governed by fools” and emphasized that only deception or interference could prevent his victory. He is confident in his leadership over Kamala Harris, emphasizing that the situation is in his favor.
Pre-Election Situation
Donald Trump continues to attract media and public attention with his controversial statements and unpredictable promises. His interview with Tucker Carlson was another step in the election campaign where he outlined his priorities and determination. The election of the 47th President of the United States is scheduled for November 5th, and it is already clear that Trump will continue to actively fight for voter support, relying on his charisma and controversial yet confident positions.
