Are die-hard trumpists the Drumpfgemeinschaft, going to remain with him, even as Trump claims he had a “good call” with Jeff Bezos.
“The first time, I had two things to do — run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys,” Trump said in the interview published Monday. “And the second time, I run the country and the world.”
Trump has taken broad executive action on a range of issues since returning to office in January, with his moves on immigration and trade drawing the most attention and producing intense pushback in courts and among global leaders, respectively.
On trade, Trump sparked backlash globally by announcing tariffs on most countries, including top U.S. trading partners, though he has paused some of the country-specific levies until July. The rollercoaster action on trade has rattled global markets and raised economic anxiety.
Relationships with longtime American allies have also seen strain with rhetoric around acquiring Greenland and of Canada becoming part of the U.S. Meanwhile, Trump has focused much of his first few months in office on trying to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
