Former President Donald Trump recently made headlines as he sat down for an interview, discussing various topics including his views on democracy, political violence, and his alleged desire to be a dictator. In true Trump fashion, his responses were delivered with a creative tone and stirred up some controversy.
President Joe Biden has recently been focusing his campaign on addressing the threat to democracy and condemning political violence in the United States. During the interview, Trump was asked whether he believed political violence is ever acceptable. Trump responded, 'Of course, I'm the one that had very little of it. Take a look at wars again. I didn't start. I wasn't involved in wars. We beat the hell out of ISIS. We won 100 percent. We brought our troops back home.' While not directly answering the question, Trump seemed to imply that his actions as president did not contribute to political violence.
