Throughout the interview, Trump addressed various topics, including assassination attempts, raising his children, and his strained relationship with former Vice President Mike Pence. Trump’s assertion of honesty was particularly striking, as fact-checkers, including The Washington Post, found he made over 30,000 false or misleading claims during his time in office. Despite this, Trump continued to emphasize his criticism of Harris, while reflecting on personal and political experiences during the 90-minute interview.
