President Trump: "Running this Country and the World"
I hold dominion over the territory and the entire globe - Trump asserted his dominance, declaring, "I am the ruler, not just of the country, but the world."
In a candid chat with The Atlantic, Donald Trump shared that he feels more at ease in his current term compared to his first. He explained, "First time, I had double duties - run the country and survive." His initial term was plagued with "treacherous characters" as he put it during the interview. But now, he's confident as he sindically states, "This time, I'm running this country and the world." The President didn't elaborate on whom he referred to as the "deceitful types."
It's quite a twist that Trump opted to dish the dirt to none other than The Atlantic, the same publication that had stirred up quite the ruckus by leaking details from a private Signal group chat regarding a potential military operation in Yemen. The magazine's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, was accidentally added to the group. Along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other cabinet members.
Goldberg didn't mince his words when he brought the sensitive chat to light, creating a media storm and putting the government in hot water. Yet, despite Donald Trump branding him a "jerk" and repeatedly lambasting the magazine, he granted The Atlantic interviews. Trump's reason? Curiosity and to see if the magazine could dish out the hard truth.
Trump and Hegseth: Unwavering Trust
The conversation between the two wasn't exactly earth-shattering. When asked about the turmoil brewing at the Pentagon, where Defense Secretary Hegseth finds himself under fire due to the Signal scandal and the departure of several aides, Trump responded with a nod, "I've spoken with him." The meeting, it seems, was a positive one. "I think he'll get it done."
Trump almost seemed to empathize with the opposition in the interview, suggesting that the Democrats are directionless and lacking in leadership. "I can't tell you who their leader is. I can't see anyone on the horizon."
