Former President Donald Trump expressed deep concern over rising antisemitism in the United States, comparing the current situation to Germany in 1938 during an interview with American radio. He alleged that 57 percent of racist attacks are directed at Jews and that this trend began during the previous administration, stating, "It started, in my opinion, during the tenure of Barack Hussein Obama. Then it started, and it continues now, and it's quite shocking to me." Trump also singled out Harvard University as an "antisemitic institution" facing consequences, referencing FBI task force activity.
Trump asserted he enjoys 99 percent support in Israel and could serve as prime minister there after his term, contrasting it with the difficulty of gaining support in the U.S. He also criticized the current U.S. administration, claiming its "regime is collapsing" with a "301 percent inflation" and a decimated economy, air force, and navy.
Regarding foreign policy, Trump stated he would "without hesitation" use military force to stop Iran from threatening U.S. allies, adding he might act immediately. He issued a direct threat, saying if Iran were to assassinate a senior American official, "They simply won't be around much longer."
In discussions about technology and espionage, Trump acknowledged Chinese surveillance of American phones but countered that U.S. intelligence is equally engaged in listening to Chinese communications, stating, "We are not a bunch of babies who never know what is going on around them."
Looking ahead to domestic politics, Trump described a strong field of about twenty potential Republican candidates for the next presidential election, while finding no comparable talent in the Democratic party. He dismissed the possibility of further impeachment attempts against him and boasted about economic and industrial growth under his leadership.
