President Donald Trump spoke to the Atlantic about what it is different from his first term as president, and told reporters published Monday that in his second term he currently runs “and the world.”
“For the first time I was able to do two things. I ran through this country and survived. I had all these bent guys.” I spoke to the Atlantic Ocean. “And the second time, I run a country and the world.”
“I have a lot of fun considering what I’m doing,” he added. “You know, what I’m doing is very serious.”
Trump recently announced in the Truth Social Post that he was sitting with Atlantic Jeffrey Goldberg for an interview, saying he agreed to it “out of curiosity.”

The Atlantic reported that people inside and outside the White House are saying Trump is more enjoyable for his second term.
The president also spoke to the Atlantic about the media as well as high-tech billionaires, including Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos.
“He’s 100%. He was great,” the president said of Bezos. “Zuckerberg was amazing,” Trump added.
“At some point, they’re giving up,” Trump said in an interview that he generally talks about media owners. An Atlantic reporter said he suspected he was particularly referring to Bezos.
Trump praised Bezos for trying to do “real work” in the post during an interview in late March, following several changes made by the Amazon founder in last year’s paper.

The president also spoke about his opposition during an Atlantic interview, claiming that Democrats have lost confidence.
“I don’t think they know what they’re doing. I don’t think they have a leader. You know, if you ask me now, I know a lot about Democrats, right? I can’t say who their leader is.
The president also pledged to comply with the Supreme Court ruling in criticism from the left that he ignored the court’s orders.
“You have to do that,” he told the Atlantic.
