Donald Trump has said that he would pay less attention to the media if he were re-elected to the presidency, as he blamed Joe Biden and Barack Obama for forging a dangerous alliance between Russia and China - and claimed he himself had been more persecuted than 'Al Capone, Jesse James, and Billy the Kid put together.'
The former president spoke to Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday night during a 40-minute interview, ranging over Ukraine, energy policy and inflation.
He said Obama and Biden had made big mistakes with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, accusing them of having 'drove those two big monsters together.'
Trump, who says he is still weighing whether to run in 2024, was asked by his friend Hannity what he would do differently if he wins a second term.
'I think one of the things I would do differently is that I found the media is so corrupt, that I would really not focus on them almost at all - I just focus on getting the job done for the American people,' he said.
'You cater to the media, you deal with the media. They're very dishonest, they write the opposite things, they have sources that aren't sources. They're an unbelievably dishonest - hence the name fake news.
'I think really I would be focused on getting the job done, getting our country back - our country has never been in a position that it is right now, with disrespected all over the world.'

Isn’t this the same interview where he referred to Russia’s actions in Ukraine as “genocide”?
All things to all people....
Trump right again.
Didn’t say Russia’s
“Trump right again.”
Actually, it is: Trump wrong again.
It would likely never have gotten to this point under Trump. But, now we are headed over the dam. We are moving toward a reduction in our world power and the same status in our currency — which will make our current financial situation significantly worse.
Calling Putin and Xi monsters and implementing a “sanction a day” (that don’t work) will only exacerbate this problem at this point. As Russia, China, India the middle east, and a host of other countries grow tired of the constant attempt to intervene in their affairs they will form their own block. These countries are not Iraq, Afganastan or Libya.
“Donald Trump has said that he would pay less attention to the media...”
Does that include his social media too?!
I mean that WAS his primary issue.
I’ll believe it when I see it!
It would be nice though to have trump stay on message.
Donald Trump has been the catalyst for change every law Republicans are passing and signing in states right now is because Trump has scared the *hit out of them and they want to take the ball away from him so badly.
You gonna criminally prosecute traitors this time?
Good idea the best way to stop a mad dog is chain it and starve it it’s no good to anyone.
