You broke the laws of this country over and over trump and now finally being held accountable!
Oh is that what he did?
Accuses others of doing illegal/ethically wrong things but would totally do the same if given the chance. It's never about justice with don the con. It's about revenge and retribution.
You must have forgotten the phony "Russian collusion" story Hillary started and the failed Mueller investigation.
It’s going to be pretty cool if Trump wins and can just tell all the judges in his cases to buzz off after that lmao
Heed his words, y'all. He intends to do exactly what he says he'll do. This will be the end of America.
I mean it's not like Biden isn't doing that to him right now? lol Nothing will be the end of America, stop fearmongering
@@JayHayyy nice try, MAGA. what is happenting to Trump is called JUSTICE. Biden has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. Go play with your Trump NFTs.
He will drain the evil from the deep state.
You will learn to love it
Good thing he’s history in the political world! 🤫
So don’t vote for Trump. Always remember how time stood still when the capitol was stormed. Terrible Jan 6 day! He must NEVER get into the White House again.
Only a dictator talks about doing something like this. That's what his go is. How dumb.
The DEMS did it, he is saying he could do it too, using systems the dems put in place.
They're doing it to him, why not? What's good for the goose...
Their not, he is on his own.if that's what you want, move to Russia.
Problem is, he won't be able to do that from Federal Prison.
😂😂😂😂
i love liberals that get played lol....
@@YOUARESOFT. you’re not to bright are you?
... It shows in all them sardonic comments from the deviant parasite crowd.@@YOUARESOFT.
Exactly! 👍
This would be tyranny
Thats his point.... He is saying this is what the DEMS engineered, and ANYONE could misuse it.
So what Biden is doing now is ok?
It’s already has happened open your eyes
He was talking about the indictments against him & how they did it. ! Democrats love to take things out of context. !!
This is the same thing that dictators do to their political rivals.
and they're doing it to him rn!
Except none of this is actually what he meant and he isn't a dictator.
That was exactly his point. Woosh that one really went over your head. So by your own words, Biden is acting like a dictator
Exactly!!!! AND his supporters.....support this message.
@@luvbig41 Not exactly. You have been tricked. Duped if you will.
I understand some stuff trump probably did but why only go after him do we really think that every politician is perfect ? Trump isn’t the only one who has done something wrong why not investigate Biden or Clinton or Obama ?
stop giving trump headspace and press coverage
the media is the biggest problem
🤡bloomberg
Straight jacket!
Him saying this gives both his supporters AND the uninformed general public that presidents have the ability to instruct DoJ to indict people at will (when of course they don't). This impression is important because then he can immediately follow up with "that's what Biden is doing to me right now," and his supporters and the uninformed general public will believe it.
Your reply is manipulative and false.
Pres Trump and his supporters have been barbarically persecuted, a fact of which many millions of well informed citizens are fully aware.
They are also aware that virtually all Biden - Harris policies have been intentionally harmful to them and their families, and highly destructive to the Republic.
The president actually does have the power to order the Doj to indict people all executive power rest with the president which means The entire DOJ is only using the President’s constitutional mandate to “take care that the laws are faithfully executed”
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
Like you know anything. I would not hire you to inflate balloons
It is literally what Biden is doing LOL
There is no way on this earth that you could listen to that and not understand what he meant. He meant that a precedent is being set right now and that in the future, for example because of what is happening to him, he could then do it to his opponents. Which is NOT what he wants to do. He means that years in the future this could be done and it shouldn't.
If he becomes President again dream on Donny boy .DUMP THE TRUMP 😂😂😅
Trump will make himself king and suspend the other two branches of government. Most important of all, the entire federal budget will be his piggy bank. 😂
TRUMP '24
He's just following Biden's example. What's good for the goose.
You mean like Biden is doing
@@chucksgrace3225 No, he is not.. Joe Biden has stayed completely out of the investigations on Trump, and you know why? because he is suppose to. The president is not suppose to interfere in the investigations or the justice that the DoJ tries to do for our country. So JOE Biden has kept out of this all. unlike Trump who did in fact on several occasions he interfered with the business of the DoJ and that is on record too. Now where's your proof that joe Biden has been weaponizing the DoJ on Trump? Don't just state it, show it, hmm? It was covered in the news and everywhere on the internet when Trump was interfering in the DoJ's everyday investigations while he was in office, who doesn't know about that? If you don't know then what rock where you living under? Where's the evidence that joe Biden has actually told the DoJ to investigate and also interfere with Donald Trumps life, business affairs and also his run for office, hmm? Like usual your Republicans love to talk trash and always accuse others of wrong doing but when the time comes to show proof all you got is your word that it happen and NOTHING ELSE!
Crypto assert deviant all the time like that,@@chucksgrace3225 ?
Fascism!
He is commenting on democrat policy..... So yes.
that holds up in court how??? lol like your legal arguments yeah ok try it
This reporter doesnt really understand how serious maga candidates are, and Trump would try and send troops into Mexico, he was willing to use them on civilians in DC!
Exactly! I’ve seen many presidents come and go in my lifetime, from Eisenhower to Biden, but never have I’ve seen one so myopia as Trump on regaining power to punish his enemies-Not save America and all its citizens.
@@larrytaylor9954 You still haven't seen a president do that or behave that way. People are telling you that and you believe them.
how is this man not behind bars or at the very least removed from the ballots?
🤣🤣🤣 Trump 2024…. You are 30% of the population in the US …. Trump easily wins election in 2024….

REPUKES THT DO NOT CARE--ESPECIALLY THE RICH ONES.
Anything coming out of Trumps mouth is asinine
"Trump says he could tell Justice Department to indict political opponents...." he can do that from jail???
Knowing Trump's cognitive challenges and personality disorders, I believe him when he says he thinks of himself as a victim. He can't tell facts from fiction.
You spelled Biden wrong
Not only is he a victim, he's treated like a traitor. No. Just a scapegoat in a stupid plan to ruin his chance to become President!
Did the financier of anti-America sent you here, bot!
Take a look in a mirror.
Like the liberal media… can’t tell fact from fiction…. Trump 2024
Let’s think back to when he was asked if he would take dirt on the opposition? His answer was an unequivocal YES. He is a LIAR, CHEAT, CON MAN, THE LIST GOES ON!
VOTE BLUE!
Light reminder that Hillary Clinton's campaign literally went to the FBI and planted a fake story about him working with Russians, which put him under public investigation (which democrats working on it publicly claimed there was irrefutable evidence he was guilty) for most of his presidency
That's never gonna happen
If you want Presidents to be able to weaponize the DOJ against their political rivals, VOTE BLUE!!!
Lol… Biden has already lost… it’s coming…. Trump 2024
How could someone be beating him, as President, when he can't run again?
I was thinking the same thing....
@@BlackTarHWhy can't he run again?
He can run becasue all those who are parasited by him loves the sold out and corrupt to the core,@@chucksgrace3225
@@chucksgrace3225 2 term limit for Presidents. If he gets back in office for a second term, he's disqualified, by the Constitution, from running again for President or Vice President. He should have no way of being down to an opponent, because he shouldn't be in any more races ever again.
Ummm... nooo.
Lies, Damn Lies and Donald J Trump!
Did he say that ?
He’s been complaining for years about that.
Did Trump say he is done? Because if he could do it, and that person would be done, then doesn't that apply to him right ...now? Or is he saying he's the only one that could complete destroy someone else's chance?
Didn't Trump try that when he was in office?
So January 6th didn't happen
He was saying this to make a point not because he actually would indict a political opponent. Watch the Interview.
He missed the point that he is a criminal.
This is total dictator talk. I hope his followers recognize this.
He said them opening the door basically makes it fair game.. so basically what they are doing to him is ok .. but when he talks hypothetically it’s a problem??
Started to listen to this by accident. The first sentence out of this woman’s mouth spewed the old, tired narrative: orange man bad.
All he is saying is if one side that is in power now and uses their power to destroy the other side. Is opening them selves up to the same treatment down the road. Not one time did he say he will or wanted to do that. Go back and listen and show me where he said. If elected I will do it. That is called a common sense argument. I have heard the same thing said in my Civics class in high school. But many people haven't gotten a Civics class now days.
You were taking things out of context. What he saying, and should’ve say said more clearly is that the department of justice is going after him because he’s the political opponent.
It is clear that Trump says that they are going after him because he is a political opponent, but the fact is that they are not. Trump is a liar and a criminal and is being tried in court for his offences.
Nope. He meant what he said and he said what he meant. Trump is a traitor 100%.
Yup , not to hard to read between the lines of the fake news
Do NOT believe that this is just limited to people who run against him because they will...he can only serve two terms unless he pulls America apart. He's pure evil and will throw anyone he doesn't like into a camp, including your loved ones. He's dangerous.
HE SAID EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT DONT TRY TO CANDY COAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump can never again be anywhere near public office again.
Thats Joe O'biden!
He’s coming, he’s gonna be here soon…… 2024
This interview has been edited.
What a joke. Biden is doing this to trump. Trump 2024
The words not mentioned by the reporter; he said democrats set this precedent and he ‘could’ do what democrats have done. Not that he would do it, and in fact later in the full interview, said you don’t go after political opponents. If you listen, the interviewer questions imply an opinion, but Enrique resisted and actually represented Trumps perspective well.
If trump gets in ,it’s over for America. Don’t take chances vote blue.
I think the opposite is true.... We've SEEN how bad things are under Biden.... And how NORMAL things were under Trump.
I vote no wars better economy... Every time ✌️
You probably not American.@@itsgoodtobeclean
Or, he could go to prison like all other criminal defendants after they’re found guilty of 91 charges! 👍
I can believe it. No country wants him to be president of USA again. 🇨🇦 doesn’t. We are your neighbors and he acted like we were your worst enemy. He cannot conduct himself properly on the world stage. He’s too goofy, talks about things he knows nothing about and deals in untruths. He is so unpredictable. USA would not survive another term with this narcissist.
Why does he want to go and say something like that for? Just think if you were running for the presidency in 1950's how crazy this would sound. O gee saying this will really get people to vote for me; ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha...
about time ….
Good job for intentionally cutting context.
Is there any way at all to lock up this crazy clown?
I like that. Crazy clown
Why does Mr Trump always repeat His words?
Right after He States Them?
We Have Come A Long Way
We have come a long way since that fateful morning on Lexington Common, April 19, 1775. It has been a long haul, pulling ourselves through time and space to build and maintain a country that keeps growing in ‘liberty and justice for all.’ It has not always been pretty, kind, righteous, or good for everyone. We have not always followed the right path, or ethical path, or path that everyone could follow. Lady Liberty’s torch of freedom has sometimes been dimmed and nearly extinguished by selfishness, greed, and cruelty. More often than not, mendacity, avarice, and hubris were our primary motivators and not the twin principles of truth and justice.
But somehow we have kept going. Somehow, despite all of the corruption of our values from within and all of the threats to our land from without, we have maintained a system of laws that enable us to rectify the mistakes we make, both with each other and the rest of the world. And no matter how far down we go or how high up we fly, we still find ourselves back on level ground and moving forward towards that ever-receding but always visible goal of ‘a more perfect union.’
This is no mirage that we continue to head towards. This is not a fool’s dream that leads us on to some dark dead end, where we and our country fall down a deep hole and onto the garbage heap of history. Oh, there are those among us who think that our sins are too great or that our dreams are too naive. Their cynicism darkens our path and attempts to lead us onto some plain of despair, where we abandon our founders’ dream, throw away our constitutional map, and wander off in some random direction of disillusionment or self-absorption. They think that some alternative route is the answer to our sins or the fulfillment of our dreams. They think that time and lies have worn out and broken the moral compass that the founders left us.
Ben Franklin’s words ring in my ears now, “You have a Republic, if you can keep it!” And Washington’s refusal to allow himself to be made a king swells in my memory. The echoes of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth!” surround me. And Franklin Roosevelt’s reminder that “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself!” straightens and strengthens me.
We must not forget what men like these fought for, sacrificed for, and strove to leave us. They did not prattle on with idle chatter, to sell us some cheap ideas and easy solutions to a frustrated and angry crowd of disillusioned and disappointed miscreants. They were appealing to the ‘better angels of our nature.’ They were speaking to our inner character; that deeper nature that contains our conscience; the conscience that tames the savage and selfish beast and allows compassion to temper and moderate our behavior and actions towards our fellow human beings.
What the Founders also left us were warnings not to let ourselves fall into the trap of allowing a would-be autocrat to seduce us into believing that he has the answers to all our problems and that all we have to do is to let him upend our values and traditions, break all the rules of decency, and run things his own way, free of the encumbrances of government and the wisdom of the ages that has been passed down to us.
We fought a revolution to free ourselves from a monarchy, we do not now need to return to a time when one man, a man like Donald Trump, dictates to the rest of us what will be, separate from the constitutional laws that guide us. We do not need a wealthy - morally and ethically bankrupt - tycoon, and his coterie of retrograde sycophants, to take over the reins of our representative democracy and turn it into a country run by thieves and cutthroats who have very little appreciation or concern for our system of governance or the people that it is charged to oversee for the common good of all.
So, we are now standing at a crossroads, and the direction we take will determine the future of our country, our system of governance, and the lives of our descendants. The direction we take will determine if our country will continue to grow towards being an even more perfect union or if it will devolve into an American Dream that was never fulfilled. It is now, as it has always been and always will be, entirely up to us.

Write a book in the comments section why don't ya..
That's his only campaign promise....revenge. Not how he is going to help this country move forward economically, socially, and structurally. trump wasn't fit for POTUS and definitely isn't fit to run this time.
Just like joe is doing.
He could tell them but they wouldn't do it.

WRONG! AHHH!
🤮Enrique 🤢🤮
seems Trump 's answers flew right over this young mans head
It sure flew over yours.
SMDH!!!
He’s only got himself to blame for putting himself in this position in the first place. But, why is he getting all the blame for this mess? We’re talking about someone who was the most powerful individual in the world only half a dozen years ago. What is the end goal planned for him? Is it jail? Or is it worse?
In whose advantage is it when he’s left destitute because of these court cases and isn’t able to make comeback and challenge the opposition’s preferred candidates from within their own circle? Who benefits when he completely loses his marbles and ends up in a mental institution? Who gains from him essentially not existing? Who is stepping away from any responsibility right now so when it goes wrong for him as planned they can say ‘don’t look at us, this wasn’t our fault’?

MEMORANDO para Enrique:
No habría estado fuera de lugar haber pedido pruebas:
a) de que el Departamento de Justicia ha sido instrumentalizado por el Poder Ejecutivo y,
b) de que el Poder Ejecutivo tiene atribuciones para dictar la política y la agenda del DoJ.
MEMO to Enrique:
It might not have been out of place to ask for proof:
a) that the Department of Justice has been instrumentalized by the Executive branch, and,
b) that the Executive can dictate the DoJ's policies and agenda.
Wait. You mean like Biden has done?
It wasn't Biden that told supporters that windmills cause cancer or that revolutionary troops took over airports. By the way, tell Trump that they are "wind turbines", not "windmills". Anyway, are you still waiting for Trumps brand new beautiful Healthcare Plan within 2 weeks?
... I think he meant..... I like this!!! Trump is more measured and "disciplined" so others can explain "what he really means". This young man seems very cool but also a bit star stuck. TY
Trump reminds me of Mr Mr Haney from Green Acres because whatever you need he has one on his truck and it's top quality too.
Haney was 1 heck of a lot smarter.
Stop calling Trump "The President"
For God's sake, man.
The fact that Mexico's political leaders can even threaten the republican party with the influence of latino votes means there's too many people in this country that shouldn't be here. I think the democrats have the most wisdom and maturity to run a country but I'm voting republican. wisdom and maturity doesn't mean anything when you only use it to support countries across the sea.
What? The question is whether military could do strikes, such as drone strikes, into Mexico to combat cartels. Mexican president is "AMLO". Amlo says comments like these cause Latino voters concern. It is certain Trump made the decision to do this interview.
@@timisaac8121 What? The context behind the question doesn't change anything. The point is, Mexico doesn't have their cartels under control, and it's causing fentanyl to be a problem in our country. But when the US steps in to address it themselves, Mexico's president threatened to influence Republicans being elected. The fact that they can can even use the latino vote as a threat means there are too many illegals here, or too many immigrants that don't have the U.S's interest in mind.
@@kmoney53 it appears you are frightened. You are a partisan and frightened correct? So you can't find agreement with me bc you feel threatened or attacked. First, many illegals work. Do you agree? okay. in Construction, restaurants, etc. Of those who work, which of them could do so WITHOUT the help of employers illegally employing them? Until we see that we can agree on that, you will hate me as a partisan, whether I am or not. You decide if you wish to solve problems or elect your tribe. But I don't want to argue of election candidates with you: Partisans do not yeild to reason, facts or courtesy.
@@timisaac8121 I think you're having a conversation with yourself here buddy. I don't know you or your views, so there's no way I can hate you or feel threatened or attacked by you. I enjoy productive conversations, but you haven't clarified a single one of your points. You're pretty much responding to assumptions you have about me and making up ideas about what I believe. Lets get on the same page. What does your facts about employers illegally employing illegals, have to do with my first or second comment?
@@kmoney53 Lets say for the minute, neither of us will break into our Troll Costumes or decide to simply trade insults: You write: There are too many illegals here (USA). Right? I copied from above. I don't say there is not. And it is well established illegals working pay the taxes, all of them, on their income. Right? If we agree to here, lets go to my "clarification". Working ILLEGALS are paid "Illegally"- Agreed? If so, Could you agree if the income (paid work) was eliminated, illegals would go somewhere else? If I am unclear, it isn't on purpose. I'm trying to be as clear as possible, neither trolling or insulting you.
Why don't you show the rest of the video? It amazes that shatter all this time people still trust msm to tell you the truth. Instead of worrying about ratings
We the people don't need to see the rest of the video, trump putting up the clown show on live TV every day for everyone to see and hear how incompetent he is.
Like what? What's missing exactly?
Hon, the interview was done on Univision. The complete interview is available on their RUclips channel.
What CBS did here is called a "clip." It's when they take a portion of an interview, usually something particularly newsworthy (like a presidential candidate threatening to weaponize the DOJ for his personal political ambitions), and they play that clip, providing context for the viewer.
