Trump Unleashes Chaos Agenda As He Banters With Fox Reporter
President Donald Trump covered a lot of ground in the new-look Oval Office Monday night, while signing more executive orders and responding to reporters’ questions.
Among the several executive orders Trump signed was one designed to prevent a TikTok ban from going into effect for 75 days. Trump said he wanted to see the company sold through a “joint venture” with the U.S.
While discussing TikTok, Trump turned to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.
“Does Biden ever do news conferences like this? How many news conference, Peter, has he done like this? None.”
“Like this?” Doocy replied. “Zero.”
Trump continued: “And it would be zero for the next infinity. For infinity, it would be zero.”
At another point, Trump was asked which former president’s advice he would seek if needed. Bill Clinton, Trump said, has “great political sense.” Trump seemed to praise himself while explaining why.
“When Hillary was running, [Bill Clinton] came back and he said, ‘You know, you better get up there in Michigan and Wisconsin. Every house has a Trump sign on it,’” Trump claimed.
“They all laughed at Bill Clinton like, ‘The hell does he know?’ And he turned out to be right because I won both of them. And then we just won both in this election, too,” Trump continued. “But Bill Clinton, he had a great political sense I think.”
During his back-and-forth with reporters, Trump once again baselessly claimed that the FBI had a role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“There were outside agitators involved, and obviously, the FBI was involved because [former FBI director Christopher] Wray admitted the FBI was involved,” Trump said, even though the Justice Department’s inspector general, in a Dec. 2024 report, found no such involvement.
Since being sworn in, Trump has signed executive actions to end birthright citizenship, withdraw from the Paris climate agreement, freeze federal regulations and hiring, mandate full-time, in-person work for federal employees, and preserve records of “political persecution” under the Biden administration.
He has also pardoned cop-beating supporters of his who stormed the Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection—part of the more than 1,500 people that the pardon is said to cover.
