Donald Trump claimed there’s a “definite anti-white feeling” in the United States and acknowledged there could be violence around November’s presidential election.
Trump spoke with Time’s Eric Cortellessa in a series of conversations amid his Manhattan hush money trial, and he declared there’s anti-white bias during a discussion on crime.
Cortellessa, at one point, brought up polling data suggesting some people feel there is a bigger bias against white people today than any other group.
“There is a definite anti-white feeling in the country,” Trump said in response to the data, “and that can’t be allowed either.”
He also suggested that police-gathered data on major crime going down is rigged and promised National Guard assistance to cities to help curb crime.
Trump did not dismiss the potential of violence around the upcoming presidential election, claiming it will come down to the “fairness” of the election.
“If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he said. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.”
Trump did not elaborate on this point and instead echoed past accusations that President Joe Biden is behind his legal troubles. Trump is currently on trial facing charges that he falsified business records to cover up hush money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to hide an alleged affair. Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
The former president claimed Biden and others are greater threats to the U.S. than foreign adversaries.
“I think the enemy from within, in many cases, is much more dangerous for our country than the outside enemies of China, Russia, and various others,” he said.
