First press interview revealed after retirement
Criticism towards McConnell, the first republican
viewer
In his first media interview after former US President Donald Trump retired, he said, “I think he won a lot,” during the 11th and 3rd presidential elections, and showed that he still did not accept the results.
On the 17th (local time), former President Trump said in a telephone interview with Fox News, “What happened (after the presidential election) is shameful.” I was very angry.” On the 20th of last month, when President Joe Biden took office and former President Trump left the White House, he insisted on his victory by claiming election manipulation.
There have also been criticisms against Republican leadership, including Senate Representative Mitch McConnell, who has recently been confronting. “If this happened in the Democratic Party, there would have been riots everywhere,” said former President Trump. Congressman McConnell opposes the impeachment of former President Trump, but has criticized the former president for his real and moral responsibility for the’intrusion of parliament’.
The interview was held to commemorate the conservative representative commentator Rush Limbo, who directly awarded the Freedom Medal, the highest civilian honor, by former President Trump. However, it seems that former President Trump took this opportunity to reaffirm his presence to Republican and conservative supporters, referring to the 11th and 3rd presidential elections and Congressman McConnell. With the midterm elections coming in 2022, former President Trump has been making widespread steps to increase the influence within the party, including publicly criticizing Congressman McConnell and publicly supporting Republican pro-Trump.
