In a recent interview with The Atlantic, President Donald Trump shared insights about his current term, asserting that he now oversees not just the nation but also has a significant influence globally.
“During my first term, my focus was divided—I had to manage the government while also navigating a slew of dishonest individuals,” he noted. “In this term, I perceive my role as more expansive, involving leadership on the world stage.”
“I’m experiencing a lot of enjoyment in my current role, considering the seriousness of my responsibilities,” Trump remarked during the discussion.
Prior to the interview, Trump revealed on Truth Social that he would be engaging with Jeffrey Goldberg from The Atlantic, highlighting his motivation of “curiosity.”
