President Donald J. Trump didn’t hold back during a hard-hitting ABC News interview this week, silencing critics and setting the tone for his no-nonsense return to the Oval Office. Facing off against mainstream media anchor Terry Moran, Trump stood firm on the issues that got him elected — tariffs, immigration, and restoring America’s global strength — while calling out the mess left behind by the Biden administration.
The interview, which aired April 29, marked a major moment in President Trump’s first 100 days back in office, as he tackled some of the media’s most tired talking points with characteristic clarity. While Moran pressed him with liberal-leaning questions, Trump reminded the American people exactly why they voted him back into power.
On the subject of tariffs, Moran parroted Democrat talking points, claiming that “people are worried,” even among Trump voters. But the President didn’t flinch.
“They did sign up for it, actually,” Trump responded bluntly. “This is what I campaigned on.” And he’s right. Millions of Americans elected Trump because they were tired of watching their jobs and factories shipped overseas. Trump campaigned on putting America First — and that’s exactly what he’s doing.
“I said we’ve been abused by other countries at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump continued. “I could’ve left it that way… but I said, ‘No, we have to fix it.’” In contrast to decades of weak leadership and globalist sellouts, Trump made clear he’s willing to take action — even when it ruffles feathers in Washington or Wall Street.
Then came the media’s latest obsession: egg prices. When Moran blamed Trump for rising food costs, the president fired back hard.
“They hit me the first week, ‘Eggs, eggs, eggs,’ like it was my fault,” Trump said. “This problem was caused by Biden.” He added that since he stepped in, egg prices are “down 87%,” and made sure to note that “there were plenty of eggs for Easter.”
It’s a perfect snapshot of the absurd double standard. When prices soared under Biden, the media shrugged. Now that Trump is back and fixing it? Suddenly it’s all his fault. Americans aren’t buying it.
The conversation then turned to immigration — one of Trump’s signature issues. Moran questioned whether illegal immigrants deserve “due process,” to which Trump firmly responded, “These are illegal. They came in illegally.” He emphasized that while the U.S. treats people fairly, there must be consequences for breaking the law. “We’re doing something that has to be done. We have a country that’s very sick,” Trump said.
Even when Moran attempted to quote Joe Rogan about “not becoming monsters,” Trump agreed in principle but stood firm: “We are careful. But we have to protect our country.”
In a powerful conclusion, Trump defended America’s restored reputation on the world stage. “The country’s doing great,” he said. “I think we’re a respected country again. We were laughed at all over the world.”
And that’s the bottom line: under Trump, America is no longer a punchline. It’s a powerhouse. While the media flails and Democrats cling to identity politics and fearmongering, Trump is doing what he promised — putting the American people first.
Do you believe Trump’s America First approach is exactly what this country needs right now?
