President Trump made the case Wednesday that the nation’s problems are “all solvable,” touting the “very unified” Republican caucus in Congress.
“They’re all solvable problems … with time, effort, money — unfortunately — but they’re all solvable,” Trump asserted during an interview on Fox News.
“We can get our country back,” he argued. “But if we didn’t win this race, I really believe our country would have been lost forever.”
Trump’s sitdown with Sean Hannity, taped Wednesday morning at the White House, is his first television interview as the 47th president.
He also praised House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for how he’s “unified” Republicans on Capitol Hill.
“You know, these are not easy people,” he said of GOP lawmakers.
“This is a tough group … but they’re very unified.”
Unlike his predecessor, Trump hasn’t been shy about engaging with the press throughout his action-packed first three days back at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Trump, 78, answered a flurry of questions from reporters in the Oval Office Monday night as he signed dozens of Day 1 executive orders, including withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization; declaring Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations; and directing the Justice Department not to enforce the TikTok “divest-or-ban” law for 75 days.
The president also took questions Tuesday after unveiling a $500 billion artificial intelligence infrastructure project at the White House alongside reps from OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle.
Former President Joe Biden held the fewest formal interviews and press conferences of any modern president.
Biden, 82, waited until February 2021 to give his first television interview as president, which aired on CBS ahead of the Super Bowl.
His first full press conference didn’t take place until late March of that year.
