No, thanks, I made sure. He was asked how to fix the country and he said he couldn't care less. This is his response to a very simple question. Here's the copy paste from the article though 🤷🏽‍♂️

During a Fox News interview Friday morning, Trump was asked what his administration was doing to curb extremism emanating from the political left and right in light of conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s murder Wednesday.

“I’ll tell you something that’s going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less,” the president responded. “The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. They don’t want to see crime.”

“They’re saying, ‘We don’t want these people coming here. And we don’t want you burning our shopping centers. We don’t want you shooting our people in the middle of the street,’” Trump added, appearing to nod to instances of right-wing vigilantism in recent years.

“The radicals on the left are the problem. They’re vicious, and they’re horrible,” Trump said. “And they’re politically savvy, although they want men in women’s sports. They want transgender for every one. They want open borders.”

It does sound like the "couldn't care less" remark was referring to the idea that he was going to "get in trouble" for saying what he did, with the actual answer being so much worse. Something I'm compelled to point out though:

Transgender for everyone? Regardless of the fact that that's not how sentences work...what?

Whatever he meant, I'm probably okay with it tbh

“The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. They don’t want to see crime.”

(...)

“The radicals on the left are the problem. They’re vicious, and they’re horrible,”

The bias is so strong that the whole statement becomes nonsensical. How can anybody not see this? Rhetorical question! I know, they're dumb, they don't read or listen to more than a few words at a time, they don't remember what happened yesterday, and they have their mind made up anyhow.
