President Donald Trump declared that he runs the world as he reflected on what's different during his second White House go around in an interview with The Atlantic magazine.
“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 April 28. “And the second time, I run the country and the world.”
Trump's sit-down interview came as his approval rating has taken a considerable hit, falling to 39% in a new poll from The Washington Post, ABC News and Ipsos, amid concerns about the economy and his aggressive use of tariffs.
Nevertheless, Trump agreed with an observation than he's having more fun ‒ blowing up Washington "with a twinkle in his eye," as one close ally ‒ so far during his return to the White House.
