In a much-anticipated return to social media, former President Donald Trump shared harrowing details of an assassination attempt and pledged the largest deportation in US history during a live interview with Elon Musk on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The conversation was marred by technical issues, frustrating many of Trump’s supporters as the start was delayed by over 40 minutes.
Key highlights from the interview-
Assassination attempt recounted
Trump recounted the near-fatal experience at a Pennsylvania rally, revealing how a bullet narrowly missed him.”If I had not turned my head, I would not be talking to you right now — as much as I like you,” Trump told Musk. He attributed his survival to quick reflexes and divine intervention, emphasizing the severity of the situation by stating, “For those people that don’t believe in God, I think we all have to start thinking about that.”
Musk responded by praising Trump’s bravery, saying, “You can’t fake bravery under such circumstances — the courage is instinctual or it is not.” Trump reflected on the aftermath of the incident, recalling how he wanted to reassure his supporters by standing up and showing he was unharmed. “I wanted to get up and let them know I was okay — and they went wild,” he said.
Criticism of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden
Trump attacked President Joe Biden saying he “failed miserably” in the presidential debate with him. He also called Biden’s exit a “coup” by Democrats.
Trump also seized the opportunity to criticize Vice President Kamala Harris and labeled her as “fake”, blaming her for the influx of illegal migrants. “The number of illegals Kamala has welcomed into our communities is much bigger than we think,” Trump asserted, accusing her of allowing criminals to enter the country.
He also attacked Biden’s handling of the Ukraine crisis, claiming that Russia would not have invaded Ukraine if he were still president. Trump suggested that his strong relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin could have prevented the conflict, saying, “I got along with Putin very well, and he respected me.”
Immigration policy pledge
Reiterating his hardline stance on immigration, Trump promised the largest deportation in U.S. history if re-elected. He claimed that the number of illegal migrants has surged to an estimated “50-60 million people” from regions including Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. “They are coming in from everywhere,” Trump said, criticizing the current administration’s handling of the situation.
Technical glitches and delays
The interview faced significant technical difficulties, with over 878,000 users connected but unable to hear the conversation for more than 40 minutes after the scheduled start time. Musk attributed the delay to a “massive attack” that overwhelmed the platform’s systems, adding to the frustration of Trump’s supporters.
