When Meet the Press host Kristen Welker asked Donald Trump if he ever worries about “going to jail” for the crimes he’s been charged with, the former president claimed he is too busy thinking about “making the country great, making America great” to even consider it.
“No, I don’t really. I don’t even think about it,” Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday. “I’m built a little differently I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, ‘How do you do it, sir? How do you do it?’ I don’t even think about it.”
“These are political, these are banana republic indictments,” Trump told Welker. “These are third-world indictments. The president of the United States sees how we’re doing. We have a movement the likes of which has never happened in this country before.”
At another point in the interview, Trump referred to special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the prosecution in the federal election interference case, as a “deranged lunatic.”
When Welker asked Trump, “Tell me what you see when you look at your mugshot?” the former president said he sees “somebody that loves this country, and me, that loves this country.”
