During the conversation, the former President discussed what he believes is a bigger threat than Kim Jong-un and North Korea. He also gave a small insight into his relationship with the North Korean leader.
Donald Trump believes there are ‘bigger problems’ than North Korea
In his discussion with Joe Rogan, Donald Trump, who recently staged a campaign at McDonald's, reveals that the United States has an ‘enemy from within’ that is more dangerous than the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un. He goes on to explain that when he was in office, he had ‘no problem’ with Jong-un.
We had no problem with him. I say it to people, we have a bigger problem, in my opinion, with the enemy from within.
He then reiterates that the country has an ‘enemy within’ and that there are ‘really bad people’ who want to make the US ‘unsuccessful’, as per Mirror.
We have an enemy from within, we have people that are really bad people, that I really think want to make this country unsuccessful.
This isn’t a new notion for the former President. Indeed, he has talked about Americans who oppose him, calling them a threat. At a rally in Wisconsin, he claimed these people were ‘more dangerous than Russia and China’.
The crazy lunatics that we have - the fascists, the Marxists, the communists, the people that we have that are actually running the country. Those people are more dangerous - the enemy from within - than Russia and China and other people.
Donald Trump once told Kim Jong-un to ‘relax’
In the same interview with Joe Rogan, Donald Trump also shared some insight into his relationship with Kim Jong-un, claiming he once told the North Korean leader to ‘relax’, as per Daily Mail.
I said: 'Do you ever do anything else? Why don't you go take it easy? Go to the beach, relax.
Adding that they should build ‘condos’ instead of nuclear weapons:
I said, "You're always building nuclear, you don't have to do it. Relax!" I said, "Let's build some condos on your shore.”
The former President also dives into his relationship with Russian President, Vladimir Putin, who seemingly endorsed Kamala Harris.
He told Rogan that he and Putin used to ‘talk all the time’ and that if he had been President, Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine. Trump also claimed that one of the reasons Putin invaded Ukraine was that ‘he doesn't respect Biden at all’.
I said, 'Vladimir [Putin], you're not going in. I used to talk to him all the time. I can't tell you what I told him, because I think it would be inappropriate, but someday he'll tell you, but he would have never gone in.
