Donald Trump lashed out at Europe and would not say whether he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin is a war criminal, when he took part in an interview on CNN on Thursday night. “Vladimir Putin made a mistake when he went into Ukraine, but he would never have done it if I were president,” Trump said. He would not answer whether he supports Ukraine or Russia or whether Putin is a war criminal. But presidential candidate Trump said he could end the war in less than a day if he is re-elected. – If I am president, I will sort out that war in 1 day. 24 hours, Trump said. 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. This would never have happened to me as president. Putin knows that, Trump said before presenting figures for how much he believes the US and EU countries have spent in Ukraine. Attacks and spreading lies Trump showed again that he does not care about telling the truth or being politically correct. 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.” She had a hard time trying to interrupt Trump every time he said something that wasn’t true. The first part of the program was about the storming of Congress, which took place on January 6, 2021. One of the voters in the room asked if Trump would pardon those who have been sentenced to prison for their roles in 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, Trump said. He also called the police officer who shot protester Ashli Babbit inside Congress during the storming a criminal. It evokes strong reactions. CNN receives criticism The public meeting for CNN took place at St. Anselm College in the small state of New Hampshire in the north-east of the USA. Voters there are 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 participated in such a program on CNN since 2016. Critics have said it is wrong to give him such a podium. He used it to make a number of false claims. Among other things when he once again claimed 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 got it, Trump. Do you want to stop talking about polarizing electoral fraud in this election campaign, asked someone from the audience. – Yes, we just have to win again and fix the country, Trump replied. – I have no idea who this woman is On Tuesday, Trump was found guilty of sexually assaulting writer and journalist E. Jean Caroll. An incident which is said to have taken place in 1996. A jury in New York sentenced him to pay her more than 5 million dollars in compensation, 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 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 said only: – 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, Oil, weapons and abortion A student asked Trump what he wants to do with the country’s national debt. – Drill for oil!, said Trump. – 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 on the debt ceiling debate. Trump also said he will do everything to defend Americans’ rights to bear arms. – We have 700 million weapons. People need them for entertainment, hunting and much more. “If a lot of people didn’t have guns, they wouldn’t be alive today,” Trump said. Thinks Trump will give Ukraine to Russia Trump says CNN made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. and that that is why he stood up. On his social media platform, he has also claimed that CNN is “desperate to get the fantastic Trump ratings once again” In the US, many are reacting strongly to what Trump said on live TV tonight. Trump’s statements about Ukraine shock the most. The former president’s former friend and adviser Chris Christie, who is considering running as a Republican presidential candidate himself, tweeted this: -Donald Trump says he would stop the war in Ukraine in 24 hours tonight on CNN. As crazy as it is to say such a thing, I suspect he would end the war by giving Ukraine to Putin and Russia.
