Donald Trump mocked his successor in an interview taped Friday where he questioned whether Joe Biden is running the country after he called Vice President Kamala Harris the president during a graduation commencement speech.
He told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in the interview that aired Sunday that ‘in the truest sense’ Biden is ‘not running the country.’ Trump specifically pointed to Biden repeatedly referring to Harris as the president and flip flopping from one day to the next on issues he supports.
The former president also told Bartiromo that he hopes for a rematch with Hillary Clinton in 2024 – even though he has not yet announced he is running. And he praised the relationship he forced with Xi Jinping when he was in the White House, even though the Chinese leader is a ‘killer.’
At the same time Trump’s interview aired on Fox, his former competitor Clinton had an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on his Sunday morning show GPS.
Trump also told Bartiromo that China owes $60 trillion in reparations for COVID-19 damages while receiving pushback from the Fox News host when lading his relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Bartiromo asked Trump about U.S. relations with China.
‘You know, I had a great relationship with President Xi,’ Trump said as part of a glowing assessment of his rapport with Xi. ‘I really believe he liked me, and I like him. I had a great relationship—’
The Fox host cut Trump off, threw her arms in the air and said: ‘He’s a killer!’
‘He is a killer,’ Trump concurred. ‘But I had a great relationship with him.’
Trump said that COVID was the turning point in his relationship with Xi.
‘They really destroyed the whole world,’ he said.
