Трамп продолжает давать свои безумные интервью.

Сегодня он дал интервью NBC, где сказал, что уволил бы Коми в любом случае. Что, конечно, прямо противоречит изначально выдвинутой Белым Домом версии о том, что инициатива исходила от DOJ.

Кроме того, Трамп сообщил, что сам спросил Коми находится ли он, Трамп, под следствием.

Также сегодня вышло интервью Трампа в The Economist. Этого интервью не читал, но не могу не процитировать приведенный rsokolov отрывок из этого интервью.

-- ...Now at the same time I have a very good relationship with Justin [Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister] and a very good relationship with the president of Mexico. And I was going to terminate NAFTA last week, I was all set, meaning the six-month termination. I was going to send them a letter, then after six months, it’s gone. But the word got out[^], they called and they said [...] “We would like to know if it would be possible to negotiate as opposed to a termination.” And I said, “Yes, it is. Absolutely.” So, so we did that and we’ll start.

-- It sounds like you’re imagining a pretty big renegotiation of NAFTA. What would a fair NAFTA look like?

-- Big isn’t a good enough word. Massive.

-- Huge?

-- It’s got to be. It’s got to be.

-- What would it look like? What would a fair NAFTA look like?

-- No, it’s gotta be. Otherwise we're terminating NAFTA.

-- What would a fair NAFTA look like?

-- I was all set to terminate, you know? And this wasn’t like… this wasn’t a game I was playing. I’m not playing… you know, I wasn’t playing chess or poker or anything else. This was, I was, I’d never even thought about… it’s always the best when you really feel this way. But I was… I had no thought of anything else, and these two guys will tell you, I had no thought of anything else but termination. But because of my relationship with both of them, I said, I would like to give that a try too, that’s fine. I mean, out of respect for them. It would’ve been very disrespectful to Mexico and Canada had I said, “I will not.”
