In an interview that aired Sunday with “Meet the Press” moderator Kristen Welker, Trump said he believes democracy is the most effective form of government.
He also sparred publicly with members of his own party and demeaned the press as “fake news” and the enemy of the people, and he attempted to remain in power after he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump was indicted on federal charges for his attempts to remain in power and for his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House.
He is also facing charges in Georgia over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results there, and in New York for an alleged hush money scheme to cover up an affair.

Asked by Welker if he would look to amass more power if he wins the election next year, Trump downplayed the idea that he would look to fire government employees who were not loyal to him.
