In his first interview back, Trump made several bold claims that raised eyebrows and sparked debate among viewers and critics alike
Washington: Donald Trump recently sat down with Sean Hannity in the Oval Office for his first interview since taking office again. It was quite the spectacle, with Trump making some pretty wild claims.
He talked about everything from TikTok to immigration, and even took shots at Joe Biden. One of the more outrageous claims was about TikTok, where he suggested it’s just kids watching silly videos, downplaying concerns about privacy and security.
Trump also claimed he won the youth vote by a whopping 36 points, which experts quickly debunked. Polls show he actually lost the youth vote, so that was a bit of a stretch.
He repeated his false assertion that the House committee investigating the Capitol riot destroyed all evidence, which is simply not true. The committee has preserved a lot of information, including a lengthy report and witness transcripts.
In a rambling moment, he suggested Biden should have pardoned himself, hinting at his own legal troubles. Trump also criticized California’s response to wildfires, saying states should handle their own disasters without federal help.
Lastly, he made a baseless claim that foreign countries are emptying their prisons to send criminals to the U.S. Experts have found no evidence to support this, making it just another wild statement in a long line of them.
It’s clear that Trump’s return to the spotlight is as controversial as ever, and his claims are stirring up quite the conversation.
