His rhetoric raises eyebrows and curiosity about his next political moves.
In the interview, Trump discussed significant differences between his two terms.
Initially, he faced numerous investigations and focused on internal stability.
Now, he describes his role as more globally influential, claiming he’s “having a lot of fun” while managing international affairs.
The President has enacted considerable executive actions, particularly targeting immigration and trade.
Legal challenges and global criticism followed, yet Trump remains undeterred.
He recently announced tariffs that include major U.S. trading partners, triggering global market jitters.
Trump’s rhetoric on foreign relations includes controversial ideas about acquiring Greenland and even integrating Canada into the U.S.
Such discussions strain alliances but show his willingness to push boundaries.
Notably, he is actively involved in trying to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
“The first time, I had two things to do — run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys. And the second time, I run the country and the world,” the president declared.
Trump also hinted at a third presidential bid, though he acknowledged it’s a challenging endeavor.
Meanwhile, he plans a celebratory rally in Michigan’s Macomb County, marking his first 100 days back in office.
His influence over the Republican party remains strong, bolstered by support from influential figures like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos.
Despite his often critical stance on the media, Trump continues engaging with reporters. His interview with The Atlantic, arranged by journalists Ashley Parker and Michael Sherer, further illustrates his media-savvy nature.
Though he previously dismissed the magazine, he extended a White House invitation to Parker, Sherer, and editor Jeffrey Goldberg, showcasing his complex relationship with the press.
