Despite the battles .. Trump "relieved" in the White House
US President Donald Trump said in an interview broadcast Sunday that he was "relieved" at the White House, nearly two years after he took office, despite the political battles over immigration and customs duties, and the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to take a seat on the Supreme Court.
"It was surreal for me to say that I'm the president of the United States, but I think that's the case with everyone," Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes program.
"Even my friends do not call me Donald, but the president, and I say to them, 'Remove the cost, please,' I learned during the exercise."
"Now I really feel that I am the president of the United States," he said.
During the interview, Trump proved that he had no intention of abandoning his frankly crude style.
Trump did not say if he planned to return to the controversial policy of separating migrant children at the border, which has provoked much debate, but gave no reason for what he sees as the need for tough policy.
"When families are allowed to stay together, what will happen is that people will flow on our country," Trump said. "There should be consequences for coming to our country illegally."
After the political debate in the US Senate, on allegations of sexual misconduct against the candidate of the Supreme Court Cavanaugh, Trump said that his remarks during a rally in Mississippi, which critics said he, during which mocked Christine Blazy said Ford, who accused Cavanaugh sexual misconduct, it was necessary to win In the battle to approve his nomination.
"If I had not made this speech, we would not have won," Trump said, "I was just saying that she seemed to know nothing ... and you were trying to destroy an extraordinary man's life."
