donald trump just gave a completely unhinged interview with fox host mark levin donald trump
was promoting his new book and the book is a compilation of letters he received
with a focus on letters he received from genocidal maniacs.
Yeah, Donald Trump didn't write a book.
It's not a book about letters that he sent people.
It is a book that compiles letters that he received
with an emphasis on the letters he received from people like
Vladimir Putin and President Xi and Kim Jong-un. And here in America, people like
Carrie Lake and other election deniers. Folks, we can't cover our eyes and close our ears to
this reality that this maniac, Donald Trump, is the leader of the modern day Republican Party. And as he
promotes this book, you'll see he talks very highly of authoritarians who want to destroy
the United States of America. And randomly, he speaks very highly as well of Richard Nixon and
said, Richard Nixon should have fought harder. Wouldn't it have been nice if Richard Nixon had people like Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz
and Marjorie Taylor Greene?
He says stuff like this in this ridiculous interview with Mark Levin of Fox.
So let's expose it.
Let's call it out.
So here, Mark Levin says to Donald Trump,
hey, it seems like there are a lot of letters from genocidal maniacs in this book.
And Donald Trump responds, well, I got along with them very very very well your play
this clip let me ask you a question about that you have really fascinating
letters in here from Putin from G from on in our career and I go on and what I
notice there's a common thread you had a personal relationship with every one of these leaders whether they're genocidal maniacs
Whether they're elected like Abe of Japan who was a close friend of yours and was assassinated and I want to get into some of this
What would you say your foreign policy is because I think people keep projecting onto your foreign policy
What it is that they think they want people to think your foreign policy is? Because I think people keep projecting onto your foreign policy what it is that they think they want people to think your foreign policy is. What would you say it is?
So I think more than anything else, and it was a very personal relationship and, you know,
sort of a weird situation. The tougher they were, the better I got along with them. And that's
probably a good thing because it was the tough ones that had the big, powerful countries,
the ones that can do destruction. And notice who Donald Trump got along with very well. People like Putin, people like Xi,
people like Kim Jong-un. I mean, heck, Donald Trump said that he had a love affair with the
dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, whose letters are featured prominently in this book.
I mean, just think about how deranged this is, right? Oftentimes, when presidents leave office,
they write an autobiography or they engage in some endeavor that gives back. Donald Trump,
on the other hand, has set up political action groups that grift off of his followers. He's put
out NFTs. He's made this ridiculous special purpose acquisition. And he didn't put out a
special purpose acquisition company. He didn't put out a book. He put together a collection of letters
that he received from authoritarians, from genocidal maniacs. And he is out there promoting that book on a network that
just settled a defamation case for $787.5 million. We can't ignore how absurdly deranged and
dangerous that is. And here, Donald Trump talks about his relationship with China.
And he says China was raping the United States of America. Here, play this clip.
And I got it back in the form of taxes, tariffs, and other things, and with hundreds of billions
left over. And no other president got 10 cents. And yet I got along with President Xi incredibly
well. But I was stopping the rampage. It was the rape
of America. That's what it was. It should be noted that E. Jean Carroll's civil rape and defamation
trial is set to start on April 25th, where Donald Trump is a defendant in that matter. So that is
clearly on his mind. But I mean, who even speaks like this? Speaking of which, here Donald Trump
talks about Richard Nixon in this interview and says that Nixon's biggest regret is that he didn't
fight harder and he wished he would have had people like Jim Jordan or Marjorie Taylor Greene
here play this clip. He was a very tough guy. He was, I guess some people would say this about
me too. He was his own worst enemy. I mean, I could say that a little bit about myself,
much less so than people think, I will say. But he was sort of a paranoid guy. And that's okay.
You keep your guard up. I don't say that badly. His views on Henry Kissinger were
very interesting. I won't tell you exactly. I get along pretty well with Kissinger, but I tell you
his views on Henry Kissinger were not so hot. And he was a tough guy. And he he they went over to
tell him that you have to get out. His biggest regret, according to his daughters, and I think according to him pretty
much, was that he didn't fight. They went over there one evening, Barry Goldwater headed up the
delegation and they had some senators and some congressmen. And they went over to tell him he's
got to get out. And he left the following day or the following morning. And his biggest regret was that he didn't fight because it wasn't really like him.
And I find that very interesting. And his daughter, when I got impeached twice by
really crooked, disgusting politicians, you know, they just happened to have a majority and they
the Democrats do stick together and they on a perfect phone call. Think of it on a perfect
phone call. This was a call that I remember Tim
Scott, the senator from South Carolina, read this. He was the first one to say he read the call
because I had it. It was taped. The call was taped. He said he didn't say anything wrong. He
was saying like, what did he do wrong? It was a perfect call. It was a congratulatory call.
But I'll never forget when that happened. We had such great support. Nixon
had no support. You know, he just didn't have support. He was very, very tough with people.
I get along with people. I mean, I have great Jim Jordan and all these congressmen are great.
They're really incredible people. They're fighters, too. We have some great fighters.
People don't realize it. You'll see that, I think. But we have some incredible people. They're fighters, too. We have some great fighters. People don't realize it. You'll see that, I think. But we have some incredible fighters. Nixon didn't get along
with the people in Congress. He didn't get along with the senators. But the fact is,
we have some great people in the Republican Party. But I get along with them, and they stuck together.
You know, as we reflect on history and the crimes of Richard Nixon, the fact that there was a kind of broad
popular consensus that what Richard Nixon did was wrong, that there was an objective reality to call
out the crimes as crime. One of the biggest differences with Donald Trump's impeachments,
frankly, is the fact that you
have the modern day Republican Party that's just like, we don't care about democracy anymore.
We don't care.
We will support this authoritarian.
We will support this cult.
We're all in on the cult.
We don't care about law and order anymore. The tragedy of the modern day Republican Party is the existence of
traitors like Jim Jordan and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar and Lauren
Boebert, and frankly, all of them right now that are at the federal level in the House of
Representatives and in the Senate, and many, many, many as well,
who occupy local offices across this country. That is the great tragedy. They've given up
on democracy. They've given up on law and order. For what? For Donald Trump. Here,
Donald Trump talks about how they asked me if I would consider giving Nixon a
Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Here, play this clip.
Reagan, if you look at, if you go back and some of the most interesting conversations I had with
Nixon, but with his daughter too, because, you know, I'd speak to the family. They asked me
would I give him or consider giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. And I thought
it was a very interesting request.
I said, let me get out of some of these little things first.
But, uh...
Folks, we can't regret and neglect what this is all about.
Donald Trump, a malignant narcissist
in this symbiotic, traitorous relationship with Fox,
a disinformation propaganda network promoting his book
that is about letters he received from genocidal maniacs.
He is trying to make money and will make money and grift off of his cult of letters he received from people
who want to destroy our country. And he's bragging in this interview about his relationship
with those people on Fox, on this propaganda network. And you have an entire political party,
the Republican Party, that's like, we support that.
We want to give that person the nuclear codes again. We want to make sure that person can make
life and death decisions over our lives and the lives of our family, friends, colleagues,
neighbors, coworkers, over our country, over our states. Let's give him the power to do that.
That's what the MAGA Republicans want to do.
And then you have large media networks that both sides it, that act like, oh, it's just a normal
campaign. There's nothing normal about that behavior. You remember back in the days where
it would be disqualifying if you spelled potato wrong to even reach the office of the vice presidency. Well, now you have the leading
candidate in the Republican party for president of the United States who is bragging about a book
he is selling about letters he received from authoritarian genocidal maniacs abroad two days before he's about to stand trial
in a rape case based on a rape that took place in the mid-1990s. And his defense is,
she is not my type. And meanwhile, there are multiple other women who are coming forward in that case to say he did the same thing
to us and he tried to attack us. So folks, we got to call out this behavior. We're going to keep
doing that here on the Midas Touch Network. Thanks so much for watching. I'm Ben Myselis.
