I read the quote. Attributed correctly. I think it’s sourced from ABC “This Week”.
I have not seen the segment. But it would be stupid to fabricate a quote airing on national television. I rely on that for at least temporary veracity.
Besides, I wouldn’t mind the quote or mind the concept of ‘taking the gloves off’. Sometimes, your opponents simply need a good beating.
I hope he goes +5 just for that quote.
Trump said it at the end of an interview with “Fox and Friends” this morning. There is a youtube video you can watch.
