Trump: Nothing is unlikely in my presidency/I don’t trust anyone

According to RCO News Agency, Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, who became the chosen personality of Time magazine for the second time, discussed many issues in an interview with this publication, including his election promises, domestic politics, developments in the region, the war in Ukraine and Iran.

Iran

The US president-elect once again made accusations against Iran and said: “You know, when I left, we had Iran, which was not very threatening. They had no money. They did not give money to Hamas. “They did not give money to Hezbollah.”

The Time reporter made false statements about Iran’s attempt to assassinate Trump, and asked about the possibility of a war with Iran during the Trump era. “Anything can happen,” he said. Whatever happens… this is a very unstable situation. But I think the most dangerous thing right now is what’s happening, where Volodymyr Zelensky (President of Ukraine) has decided, with President Biden’s approval, most likely, to start firing missiles at Russia. I think this is a huge escalation. I think it’s a stupid decision. But I imagine people are waiting for me to come in before anything happens. I imagine so. “I think it would be a very smart thing to do.”

The Time reporter also asked whether Elon Musk, the American billionaire entrepreneur who entered Trump’s second administration, met with the Iranians at his behest. “I don’t know that he met with them,” Trump said. The reporter continued: “It is said that he met with the Iranians.” Trump replied: “I don’t know. “He didn’t tell me that.”

American intelligence community

Trump also mentioned the accusations against “Tulsi Gebard”, the candidate for managing the American intelligence community, and it is claimed that she supports Russia and Syria.

“I was surprised to hear that because I think he’s a really great American,” Trump said. Hey, look, they said I was friends with Russia until they saw the tapes, and then they said, you know, he’s actually not. He was the one who ended the Russian pipeline, Nord Stream 2. He was the one who imposed all the sanctions against Russia. And I get along with Russia. “I get along with a lot of people that people think I don’t get along with, but we go our own way because I’m for this country, I’m not for other countries.”

In relation to the Time reporter’s question, which pointed to the possibility of cutting off information sharing between countries with the United States, he added: “I have seen Gabard for many years and he has nothing to do with Russia.” This is another little Russia, Russia, Russia scam. “I don’t foresee such a thing (cutting off intelligence assistance).”

Russia and Putin

In the area of ​​foreign policy, Trump was also asked whether he had spoken to Russian President Vladimir Putin since winning the presidential election on November 5.

Trump avoided answering, saying, “I can’t tell you. “I can’t tell you because it’s inappropriate.”

Ukraine war

The Time reporter went on to ask whether he would cut off military, humanitarian and intelligence aid to Ukraine if it does not agree to a peace deal that Trump has said he is brokering.

“The reason I don’t like to tell you this is because as a negotiator, when I sit down and talk to some very smart young people, young, very young… compared to me, you’re very young,” Trump said. . “But when I talk to people, when I start out, I think I have a great plan to help, but when I start revealing that plan, it’s almost a worthless plan.”

Asked by a Time reporter if he was committed to protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty from Russia, Trump replied, “I want to see a Ukraine that … you’ve got to pull back a little bit.” If I were the president, this would never happen. It would never happen… and I recently had a meeting with a group from the government where they came in and explained to me… the number of soldiers killed in the last month is staggering numbers, both Russians and Ukrainians and relatively equal amounts. . I know they’d like to say it wasn’t, but they’re fairly even, but the number of dead young soldiers lying all over the place is staggering. This is crazy; what is happening It’s crazy.”

He added: “I strongly oppose sending missiles hundreds of miles away to Russia.” Why do we do this? We are only escalating this war and making it worse. This should not have been allowed to happen. Now they have not only missiles but also other types of weapons. And I think that’s a very big mistake, a very big mistake. But the number of people dying is primarily unsustainable, and I’m talking both sides. “It’s really a win-win for both parties to do this and get it done.”

The Time reporter went on to say that the question that many Americans and many people around the world have is whether you will leave Ukraine or not.

“I want to make a deal, and the only way you’re going to make a deal is if you don’t quit,” Trump said. Do you understand what this means? I don’t think you can reach an agreement if you give up. And I disagree with the whole thing because it should never have happened. If I were president, Putin would never have invaded Ukraine for several reasons. First, they raised the price of oil. When they raised the price of oil, they made it profitable for Putin, they should have lowered the price of oil. If you lowered the price, you wouldn’t start a war just for economic reasons. But when oil goes to $80, $85, $90 a barrel… I mean, he made a lot of money. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, because he’s hurt too, but they’re moving on. You know, it’s a war that’s a tragedy. It is a death that is much bigger than anyone knows. “When the real numbers come out, you’re going to see numbers you won’t believe.”

Palestine and the Middle East

Time reporter also talked about another war with high casualties in the Middle East; The war of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian nation. He asked if Trump had told the Israeli Prime Minister that he wanted to end the Gaza war before he took office and what was the other side’s response.

“I think the Middle East is an easier problem than what’s going on with Russia and Ukraine,” Trump said. Well, I just want to say this up front. The Middle East problem will be solved. October 7 was a terrible event. Everyone easily forgets October 7th, but that was a terrible day for the world, not for Israel, for the world. And I think the Middle East is going to — as we speak, very constructive things are happening in the Middle East. I think the Middle East problem will be solved. “I think it’s more complicated than Russia-Ukraine, but I think it’s easier to solve.”

Asked if Netanyahu had assured him when the war would end, Trump said: “I don’t want to say it, but I think he’s confident about it; I think he has a lot of confidence in me and I think he knows that I want this to be over. I want everything to be over. I don’t want people to be killed. I don’t want people killed on either side, and that includes Russia, Ukraine, or the Palestinians and the Israelis and all the different sides that we have in the Middle East. “There are so many different sides, but I don’t want people killed.”

Trump also answered the question of whether he trusts Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of the Zionist regime, and said: “I don’t trust anyone.”

The president-elect of the United States did not provide more detailed and clear explanations regarding the constructive events that he claims are taking place. “No, I can’t say,” he said. I mean, I want to, but I can’t.”

“We’re going to sit down for a period of time, hopefully soon, and I’ll tell you everything that’s going on,” he added. But very constructive things are happening. I look at two main fronts. You have Russia and Ukraine and you have this and other problems. But look, when North Korea gets involved, that’s another element that’s a very complicating factor. And I know Kim Jong Un, I get along very well with Kim Jong Un. I’m probably the only person he’s ever really dealt with. When you think about it, I’m the only person he’s ever dated. But you’ve got some really bad complicating factors, but we’re going to sit down and at the end of either of these, or maybe both at the same time, and I’ll show you what a good job I did.”

He then referred to the Palestinian people, and the reporter asked that during his first term as president, his government presented a plan for a “2-state” solution and asked if he still supported that plan.

Trump also said: “I support the peace plan and it can take different forms. When I did Abraham’s covenant, you know it had to be filled with countries… I made a statement. I think they (Biden administration) did not add a single country to it. Think about it. They did not add a single country to Abraham’s covenant. “We had four countries, very important countries, but they should have come with other Middle Eastern countries.”

The Time reporter once again asked the Republican politician if he still supports a “2-state” solution. “I support whatever solution we can do to achieve peace,” Trump said. There are other ideas besides two states, but I support whatever it takes to get not just peace, but a lasting peace. It cannot be that we end up in a tragedy once every five years. There are other alternatives.”

This reporter further asked whether Trump believes in the “2-state” solution or whether he wants to allow the Zionist regime to annex the West Bank.

“So what I want is an agreement where there is peace and where the killing stops,” the US president-elect said.

Stating that he stopped Netanyahu once, he continued: “We will see what happens. Yes, I did and stopped him, but we’ll see what happens. October 7 was a very terrible day. People forget it. They never mention. It was a sad day. Another thing that happens is the hostages (Zionist prisoners). Where are they and why don’t they come back? Well, they may be missing. I think Hamas probably says they are lost. This is what they want.”

The reporter asked again, so there is a scenario where you allow Tel Aviv to annex the West Bank? “I want a lasting peace,” Trump replied. “I’m not saying it’s a very likely scenario, but I want a long-term peace, a peace where we don’t have October 7 in three years.”

“And there’s a lot of ways you can do that,” the president-elect added. You can do it with two states, but there are many ways it can be done. And I want to see who will be happy? But I like to see everyone happy. Everyone goes about their lives and no one dies anymore. This includes many different fronts. “I mean, we have huge global problems that we didn’t have during my presidency.”
