Former President Donald Trump claims no other president was slammed the way he has been, citing his legal troubles and impeachments.
Mr. Trump, talking to Newsmax’s Greg Kelly on Wednesday, mentioned two other presidents who faced harsh adversity, Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, who was assassinated.
“Nobody has — when you think of the fake things. Nobody’s been treated like Trump in terms of badly,” the former president said.
“Russia, Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine. Everything was a scam, and it literally starts a new one,” he said. “As you win one, you start [with] impeachment hoax number one, impeachment hoax number two. All hoaxes and scams. And I said, if they ever devoted their time to making America great again, it would be a lot easier.”
Since the impeachments, Mr. Trump has been hit with multiple charges from four cases. He also has court fines of hundreds of millions of dollars that he’s appealing.
He said in the interview that he’s fighting “some very evil people.”
