Former President Donald Trump expressed deep concern over rising antisemitism in the United States, comparing the current situation to Germany in 1938 and attributing its spread to the Obama administration. In a radio interview, Trump stated that 57% of racist attacks are directed at Jews, asserting that this trend began during Obama's term. He also claimed to have 99% support in Israel and suggested he could serve as Prime Minister there after his presidency, contrasting it with the difficulty of gaining support in the U.S. Trump specifically called Harvard University an "antisemitic institution" facing consequences, mentioning the FBI's task force on the matter.
Trump criticized the current U.S. administration, describing its government as "collapsing" and its media as detached from reality. He cited a "301 percent inflation," a "completely erased economy," and the "elimination" of its air force and navy. When questioned about using military force against Iran, Trump responded decisively, stating he would "hesitate not at all" to act if things went in the wrong direction, even suggesting immediate action. He issued a direct threat, saying Iran would "simply not exist for much longer" if they assassinated a senior American official.
Addressing other fronts, Trump declared that "whoever wins in superintelligence wins everything," discussing Chinese espionage against American companies. He asserted that U.S. intelligence is actively engaged in counter-espionage, listening to Chinese communications in return. Looking ahead to the next presidential election, Trump noted a strong Republican field of about twenty candidates, while finding the Democratic party lacking in comparable talent. He dismissed potential impeachment attempts and highlighted economic and industrial growth under his leadership.
