By In a revealing interview with Dr. Phil McGraw, his first since his conviction in the Stormy Daniels trial, former President Donald Trump opened up about the “dark forces” he believes are arrayed against him and the impact of his legal battles on his family. The hour-long conversation, which took place at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, delved into personal and political topics, with Dr. Phil attempting to probe the former president’s psyche.
When asked about his darkest moments, Trump pointed to the difficulties his family faces, particularly his wife Melania, who he says reads the negative press about him. “I have a wonderful wife. I mean, it’s not easy for her to read this kind of stuff – that’s fake – that’s fake stuff,” Trump lamented.
The former president also expressed concern for his children, particularly his youngest son, Barron, 18, whom he described as a “great kid” and a “good student.” Trump noted that Barron had been accepted to various colleges but hinted at potential unrest on some campuses.
Trump went on to discuss the “evil forces” he believes are controlling President Joe Biden, suggesting that these individuals are “very smart, very energetic” and possibly “real believers” in their “sick ideology.” He emphasized the need to be strong and confident when fighting against these forces.
Throughout the interview, Trump settled scores with various political figures, including Rep. Adam Schiff, whom he called “watermelon head” and a “very unattractive guy both inside and outside.” He also discussed his strained relationship with Oprah Winfrey, whom he says used to enjoy the key lime pie at Mar-a-Lago but with whom he has “sort of lost contact.”
Dr. Phil attempted to steer the conversation towards the idea of Trump playing the “hero” and putting an end to partisan retribution, but the former president remained steadfast in his belief that revenge can sometimes be justified, albeit taking time.
The interview also touched on Trump’s legal battles, with the former president criticizing the gag order in the Stormy Daniels case and expressing his desire to testify. He also praised Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing his classified documents case, as a “very brilliant judge in Florida.”
On foreign policy, Trump vowed to settle the war in Ukraine by the time he takes office as president-elect, even if it means acting on the world stage during the final months of Biden’s term.
Dr. Phil acknowledged to his studio audience that Trump was likely to use the interview to get his message out, comparing it to a waiter reciting the day’s specials regardless of what the customer wants.
The candid interview offers a glimpse into Trump’s mindset as he navigates legal challenges and prepares for another potential presidential run, shedding light on the personal toll these events have taken on his family and his unwavering belief in the presence of “dark forces” aligned against him.
