Former President Donald J. Trump on Sunday showed his true colors, yet again, in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker:
He is red, white, and blue to the end.
He may be flawed in other ways. But his commitment to the country is unquestionable.
That is the reason he is the front-runner among Republican candidates, leading the GOP field by more than 40 points, according to the most recent RealClearPolitics polling average.
It is also why the establishment media outlets treat Trump and his supporters with barely disguised hostility — and that showed during Welker’s interview with the former commander in chief.
Undoubtedly, it was an interview designed to cast Trump in a poor light. But questions clearly harboring the false hope that Trump’s mental state was beginning to crack under the pile of indictments thrust upon him over the last few months didn’t get the results Welker was looking for.
Upon watching the full interview, I was left saying to myself, “What doesn’t kill you, will make you stronger.”
I’m sure I wasn’t alone. Trump remained more resolute and unshaken than ever, in spite of the lynching the Democrats are determined to accomplish.
When Welker asked the former president rather pointedly in the interview, “Do you worry about going to jail?” Trump’s response couldn’t have been more perfect for Americans who were watching.
“No, I don’t, really. I don’t even think about it,” he said.
That exchange is here. Trump’s whole answer is well worth hearing:
Interviewer: “When you go to bed at night, do you worry about going to jail?”
Trump: “No I don’t. I’m built a little differently I guess. These are corrupt people that I’m dealing with. All I think about is making the country great. These are Banana Republic indictments.” pic.twitter.com/D6RkAJhOSJ

It is exactly what you want to hear from the leader of the free world. In the face of constant reminders of the frailty of President Joe Biden and policies that are destroying our nation, the American people need to see Trump’s example of clarity, strength, and commitment to “making America great again.”
And Trump needs to give that to them to win 2024. Regardless of whether or not he truly doesn’t think about going to jail in his occasionally vulnerable moments, he could never voice it. Nor would he. Great leaders carry on, regardless of the circumstances around them.
