Trump Sits Down With ‘Bussin’ With The Boys' Podcast
Former President Donald Trump sat down with the hosts of the *Bussin’ with the Boys* podcast, where he dove into some of the biggest issues shaping the political landscape as he looks ahead to 2024. The interview covered a wide range of topics, including his take on the current state of the country, transgender athletes competing in women’s sports, and the ongoing legal and personal attacks he's faced. True to form, Trump didn’t hold back, offering his usual blend of sharp commentary and defiant resilience.
One of the key questions Trump tackled was about unity—how he plans to bring the country together given the deep political divisions that define America today. Trump acknowledged the difficulty, pointing out the sharp contrasts between conservative values and the more progressive policies, like open borders and the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.
He specifically addressed the controversial issue of transgender athletes competing against women, something he has spoken out against numerous times. Trump described it as "far out," and not something he could ever support. He went on to mention the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where two boxers who had failed chromosome tests were still allowed to compete as women.
The former president recalled the damage done in the ring, where one female boxer was severely beaten, a situation Trump called unacceptable. "She got hit very hard," he said, referring to the Italian athlete, "but she’s fighting a man."
The conversation shifted to Trump’s previous success in office and his belief that economic prosperity was starting to unite the country before COVID-19 derailed that progress. Trump reflected on how, halfway through his presidency, he began to see the positive impact of his policies.
"I’m telling you the country was coming together," he stated, emphasizing the record-breaking stock market numbers and overall economic growth that he believes were key to healing the nation’s divisions. For Trump, success was the glue that could bring unity, despite the stark political differences.
But no Trump interview would be complete without addressing the personal battles he's faced, from multiple assassination threats to the relentless legal actions against him. When asked about his resilience, Trump was characteristically unshaken. He described how each challenge, rather than breaking him, has only made him more popular.
"Everything they’ve done to me has made me popular," he said, explaining that this support helps him power through. His strategy? Try not to overthink it. "I just say, screw it. Whatever happens, happens," Trump remarked, laughing at the notion that taking things too seriously would have stopped him from making it this far.
Trump’s message was clear—he’s fighting, and he’s not backing down. Despite all the challenges he’s faced, whether political, legal, or even physical threats, Trump believes that his success and determination have not only defined his leadership but continue to endear him to millions of Americans. His resolve to "fight like hell" has, in his view, become the key to his political staying power. As he eyes another run for the presidency in 2024, Trump’s confidence remains unshaken, and his focus is on winning over the country once again.
