Fun facts: Chris Rufo’s grandmother was an Italian immigrant who, I’ve heard from a reliable source, never learned to speak English fluently. Rufo’s wife meanwhile is an immigrant from Thailand. And the director of the Manhattan Institute who employs him? The son of Muslim immigrants from Bangladesh

‼️ MUST-READ: TIME's interview lays bare Trump's unraveling, dangerous mind. Just one example — Trump says he'll wipe Iran off the map, then ignores the same innocent people he'd kill that he told to "rise up." 🧾 Transcript: ‘What Trump Has Built’ t2m.co/xcnpWHr 🧾 TIME fact check: t2m.co/ciEZmxh
Read the Full Transcript of Donald Trump’s 2026 Interview With TIME


President Donald Trump photographed at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 28, 2026.Dan Winters for TIMEHow can the president of peace be calling for the annihilation of an entire people? 

Because by annihilating Iran, we've created peace in the world. With Iran, I don't think you could ever have peace.

Are you talking specifically about the government, the Islamic Republic regime? What about the innocent people? 

They killed 75,000 people in the last number of months. Protesters, innocent [unintelligible], a lot of very good people. They killed 70, anywhere from 72 to 75,000. We all documented. They went on Brett Baier the other day and they lied about it. They said 3,000. Brett Bair said, “You got to be kidding, me!” No, they killed 75,000 people. It's unbelievable. It's a bloodbath. So we'll see. And the reason people don't rise up, because they're afraid of being killed. You know, they go out in the street and they end up killing 1,000 people, 2,000, sometimes less. They use snipers to go right through their head, and when—remember the women went, they had 500,000 women, and then they started getting hit by snipers right in the middle of their head? The women looked and they saw that, then they saw another one, and they ran like hell.
