— Trump suggests he’ll release Epstein’s client list if elected
The Republican presidential candidate expressed that he would disclose information about billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, after Fridman noted that many find it odd that the list hasn’t surfaced since his death.
“A lot of big people went to that island, but fortunately I was not one of them,” Trump said.
— Trump reveals what he really thinks of Joe Rogan
Trump clarified that despite not appearing on Joe Rogan’s podcast, there was no bad blood between the two men.
“I don’t think that there was any tension and I’ve always liked him. But I don’t know him,” Trump told Fridman. “I think he’s good at what he does, but I don’t know about doing his podcast.”
— Trump warns that electing Kamala Harris would push U.S. towards communism
The former commander-in-chief warned that voting for Harris would change everything about America as we know it.
“The election coming up on Nov. 5 is the most important election this country has ever had,” Trump said.
“Because if we don’t win it, I don’t know that there’ll be another election, and it’s going to be a communist country or close,” he predicted.

— Trump slams Joe Biden
Trump called Joe Biden the “worst president” in U.S. history.
“He sort of checked out,” Trump said of Biden. “Hey look, you can’t blame him. That was a coup. They took it over. They took over the presidential deal. The whole presidential thing was taken over in a coup. He had 14 million votes. (Kamala Harris) had no votes. Not one. And no one thought it’d be her. Nobody wanted it to be her.”
— Trump reflects on the 2020 election as he prepares for 2024
Trump and Harris will face off in their first presidential debate on Sept. 10, and Trump believes he’s going to do just fine.
“I’ve done well with debates. I became president,” he said.
“Then, the second time, I got millions more votes than I got the first time. So I was told if I got 63 million, which is what I got the first time, you would win. You can’t not win,” he added.
“And I got millions more votes than that and lost by a whisker,” Trump said of the 2020 outcome.
