“He [Limbaugh] thought we won the election. We did win the election as far as I am concerned, it was disgraceful what happened… He thought the result was a disgrace,” Trump said.
'Republicans are soft'
The former president refused to say whether he would run in 2024, asserting that “It’s too early to say, but I see a lot of great polls out there, that’s for sure.”
“We have tremendous support,” Trump added. “I won’t say yet... but I have tremendous support and I’m looking at poll numbers that are through the roof… I’m the only guy who gets impeached and my numbers go up.”
He further attacked GOP leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, who has called Trump responsible for encouraging supporters to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, while voting for his acquittal in the second impeachment.
“The Republicans are soft, they only hit their own, like Mitch…if he spent the same time hitting [Senate majority leader Chuck] Schumer and [President] Biden, the Republicans would be much better off, that I can tell you,” Trump said Wednesday.
The former president, who has been banned from major social media platforms, suggested that he might return.
“We’ll see what happens, we’re negotiating with a number of people, and there’s also the other option of building your own site,” Trump told host Greg Kelly. "I understand on Twitter, it's become very boring and millions of people are leaving…They're leaving it because it's not the same, and I can understand that."
