In a recent interview with his daughter-in-law Lara Trump, President Donald Trump provided a bit more introspection than usual.

Not only did he tick through some of the major successes he’s achieved thus far in his second term, juxtaposing that record with the failed term of Joe Biden, he also looked ahead to how history will record his years in the Oval Office.

As the Daily Caller reported, the interview wrapped up with some insight into what he wants his legacy to be:

Lara then asked Trump what kept him going after losing the 2020 election when people were saying it wasn’t possible for him to make his way back to the White House.

“Well, number one, I saw what was happening to the country. They were destroying our country. They were allowing people to come into our country from prisons, from mental institutions, gang members — the worst gang members in the world, make our gang members look like … nice people — they were coming in at levels that nobody had ever seen before. No checking, no vetting, no anything, just come into our country and do whatever you want,” Trump said.

Trump also added that fixing the border crisis is a big job along with what his administration is already doing by lowering the costs of energy and curbing inflation.

“It’s a big job getting thousands … hundreds of thousands of criminals out of our country. 11,888 murderers, many of those people have killed more than one person … and he [Joe Biden] let them into our country,” he said. “I guess it wasn’t him so much as the people surrounding the beautiful resolute desk — and I know them all — and they’re not good, they’re smart but they’re not good. They’re smart in a different way, but evil intention”

“He was the worst president in the history of our country,” Trump went on to say, talking about Biden. “Nobody’s done such damage to our country, and we’re fixing it and I think we’re fixing it very fast.”

Trump finished the interview by talking about how he would like to be remembered from his time as president.

“A good person, but a person that saved out country. I really believe our country was going down for the fall. I don’t know if it ever could’ve come back, it was very close to the edge,” he said

“I really would really like to be known as the man the saved our country.”

Clips of his wide-ranging interview drew significant social media attention:

Trump also spoke about his near-death experience on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania, as the New York Post reported:

“Well, it was unforgettable,” Trump said. “I didn’t know exactly what was going on. I got whacked. There’s no question about that. And fortunately, I got down quickly.”

“They should have had somebody in the building [Crooks shot from],” he added. “They should have had communications with the local police . . . there were mistakes made . . . But I was satisfied in terms of the bigger plot.”

The president told Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” Friday he still occasionally feels a “throbbing” sensation in his right ear from being struck by a bullet during the assassination attempt.
