HEADLINES - RAW & UNVERIFIED |
Glenn Beck sits down with Trump for explosive 100-day interview In an unfiltered interview with Glenn Beck, President Trump ripped Biden’s border disaster, revealed plans to codify his executive blitz into a single “big, beautiful bill,” and torched global freeloaders who’ve bled America dry since World War II. He warned of cartel-run Mexico, a weaponized DOJ, and elites pushing a Great Reset. Trump tells Glenn Beck his tariff strategy is simple — other countries can talk or stop shopping "I don't have to negotiate. I'm talking to people out of respect." President Trump gets blunt about his tariff strategy: "We're negotiating with 70 different countries. ...They have an option. They can maybe talk to me a little bit, or they can not shop." Trump agrees with Glenn Beck that there's a 'judicial insurrection' "When you have to do court cases for individual people, you would have, in theory, millions of court cases. ...They're really saying, 'you're not allowed to do' what I was elected to do." |
