Trump thinks America’s got “a lot of killers” in Super Bowl interview clip
Bill O’Reilly and Donald Trump are friends, attending baseball games together and presumably sharing their favorite stories about being repeatedly accused of sexual harassment throughout their public careers. But despite their many similarities, the two men do disagree on a few key issues, as revealed in a promo for Fox’s big Trump-O’Reilly Super Bowl interview, scheduled to air tomorrow before kickoff.
The key sticking point seems to be Trump’s relationship with Russia and President Vladimir Putin, which O’Reilly—who’s nothing if not pugnacious when he thinks he’s right—pushes Trump on pretty hard. When Trump affirms that he respects Putin (and wants his help hunting ISIS), O’Reilly fires back “Putin’s a killer.” Trump thinks for a second, and then, in a stirring reminder of his belief in the inherent good- and greatness of the American people, responds with “There a lot of killers. We got a lot of killers. What, you think our country is so innocent?”
The clip cuts off there, so it’s not clear if Trump, like, names names on this cadre of assassins roaming America’s streets, or starts drawing other parallels between the former KGB officer-turned-strongman-and-head-of-state and the American people. “Americans like to ride shirtless on horseback too, you know,” or “Who doesn’t like annexing the Ukraine?” We’ll see more when the full interview airs tomorrow at 4 p.m. Eastern, on Fox.
