Donald Trump lashed out at Europe and would not say whether he believes Vladimir Putin is a war criminal when he took part in an interview on CNN last night. “Vladimir Putin made a mistake when he went into Ukraine, but he would never have done it if I were president,” Trump said. The presidential candidate then said he can end the war in less than a day if he is re-elected. Trump was careful not to criticize Putin, but lashed out at Europe and NATO. – We give away so much equipment. we don’t have enough ammunition for ourselves. We are being taken advantage of once again. If I were president, this would never have happened. and Putin knows that, Trump said. Mouthing There were quick interruptions in the CNN program where presenter Kaitlan Collins and New Hampshire voters questioned Trump. At one point, the former president called Collins “nasty.” In the first part of the program, it was the storming of the congress that took place on 6 January 2021 that is the theme. One of the voters in the hall asks if Trump will pardon those who have been convicted of the storming. – Yes, I will pardon many of them. I’m not trying to justify anything. But if I am elected, I will pardon many of those who were convicted. They are living in hell now, says Trump. He also called the police officer who shot protester Ashli Babbit inside Congress a criminal. The public meeting of CNN takes place at St. Anselm College in the small state of New Hampshire in the north-east of the USA. Voters there are usually among the first to vote in nomination elections in the United States. The event, which was announced last week, caused a stir as Trump has not been interviewed by CNN since 2016. Critics have said it is wrong to give Trump such a platform. He used it to continue spreading repeated falsehoods. Among other things, when he opened by once again claiming that he won the election in 2020. – We received more votes than anyone else has received as president in the United States. If you are not very stupid, you realize that the election was rigged. People all over the world understood that, Trump replied. Do you want to stop talking about polarizing electoral fraud in this election campaign, someone from the audience asks. – Yes, we just have to win again and fix the country, Trump replied. – I have no idea who this woman is. The public meeting takes place just one day after Trump was found guilty of sexual assault against writer and journalist E. Jean Caroll. An incident that should have taken place in 1996, according to CNN. He is also sentenced to pay her more than 5 million dollars for defamation, which is equivalent to around 50 million Norwegian kroner. – I swear on my children. I have no idea who this woman is. This is a fake story, Trump replied when asked about the verdict. Ha added that E Jean Carroll’s husband is a nice guy. Trump has announced that he will appeal the ruling. He describes the whole civil action as a big witch hunt. When he was asked what he would say to those who believe that being found guilty of having committed a sexual assault disqualifies him from becoming president, he simply said: – There are not many, because my support just increased. Trump continued to recuse himself from all legal proceedings against him. In New York, he is accused of, among other things, having paid kickbacks to the porn actor Stormy Daniels, as well as financial irregularities in his company. After this became known, his campaign collected NOK 40 million in just 24 hours. The Trump campaign has sent out several emails asking for campaign contributions after the verdict in New York this week. The Trump campaign hopes they will raise even more millions after what happened yesterday, Debt ceiling A student asks Trump about the country’s national debt. – We made a lot of money from oil when I was president. We must lower energy prices and taxes. But then the Democrats came in. The Republicans must fight the Democrats until they give in in the debate on the debt ceiling, he replies. Trump says CNN made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. and that that is why he is running. On his social media platform, he has also claimed that CNN is “Desperate to get the amazing Trump ratings once again”
