I know the clips are out there but I'm going to watch Trump's NBC interview with Tom Llamas and thread some thoughts here. It's rare that Trump talks at length with mainstream outlets so I want to see how it went myself. (1/x)
it has gotten overlooked, but Trump's new talking point that crime is down in Minneapolis because of him is preposterous. As of the end of last month his goons have committed the majority of 2026 murders in the city!
Trump on Alex Pretti and Renee Good: "He was not an angel and she was not an angel. You know, you look at some tapes."
Trump: "If they don't want voter ID, that means they want to cheat. We can't allow cheating on elections. Now, if we need to put in federal controls as opposed to state control -- remember, they're really an agent, they're really accumulating the votes for who wins an election."
LLAMAS: Will you trust the results of the midterms if Republicans lose control of Congress?
TRUMP: I will, if the elections are honest. Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain.
"They're gonna find out the true winner of that state" -- Trump sounds like a complete lunatic talking about Fulton County, suggesting China may have rigged the 2020 election for Biden and that's why Tulsi Gabbard is involved
Trump with a Freudian slip on Iran: "That county is a mess right now because of us"
Feb 5, 2026 03:20That's it for the interview that aired on NBC broadcast television. There's more on NBC's website but I won't get to it tonight. As always, if you appreciate my coverage, please support my work by signing up for my newsletter. Thanks. (end 🧵)
