In an exclusive evening discussion at Mar-a-Lago with Breitbart News, Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, shared his sentiments on being the Republican Party’s nominee for the presidency once again. Expressing honor at this nomination, Trump also voiced his grave concerns about the current trajectory of the country under President Joe Biden’s leadership, whom he referred to as a “lunatic.”
During the 90-minute interview at his opulent resort in southeast Florida, Trump remarked, “I’m honored to represent the great Republican Party. It’s a significant responsibility, one that I anticipated, though I didn’t expect to secure the nomination so swiftly. The competition seemed formidable at first, but it turned out differently than many had predicted.”
This interview, which spanned a variety of topics including immigration, trade, technology, and international relations, particularly with China, came right after Trump secured a majority of GOP delegates. This victory ensures his position as the GOP nominee at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this July, setting him up as the presumptive nominee. Trump’s sweeping victories in the primaries, including every contest from the Iowa caucuses to Super Tuesday, with the exception of Washington D.C. and Vermont, effectively eliminated his competition early in the race.
Reflecting on his campaign, Trump expressed pride in his team and the campaign’s focus on policy, issues, and personality. “We’ve received incredible feedback on our campaign’s performance so far, even from unexpected quarters. There’s still a long journey ahead to the general election on November 5, and a significant battle awaits against Biden,” he stated.
Trump also revisited some of his strategic decisions during the GOP primary, including his choice to bypass the debates and to confront Florida Governor Ron DeSantis early on. “In hindsight, those decisions were correct. Attacking DeSantis early on was a strategic move, especially considering his subsequent challenges,” Trump explained.
Looking forward to November, Trump’s focus is on defeating Biden and addressing what he perceives as the damage inflicted by the current administration. “The country is facing unprecedented challenges, from international disrespect to domestic economic issues, largely stemming from misguided energy policies. The upcoming election is crucial for the nation’s future,” Trump emphasized, marking November 5 as a pivotal day for the United States.
More insights from Trump’s latest interview with Breitbart News are expected to be released, shedding further light on his views and plans leading up to the election.
