Trump, ABC's Moran Clash in Primetime Interview

President Donald Trump marked his 100th day in office with a high-profile primetime interview with ABC News' Terry Moran, during which he repeatedly clashed with Moran over statements on immigration policy, the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and alleged MS-13 affiliations. Trump accused Moran and ABC of spreading 'fake news,' particularly when Moran questioned the authenticity of evidence presented. The interview also addressed tariffs, the Ukraine war, and criticisms of Trump’s leadership style, with Trump dismissing claims of authoritarianism and defending his policies as necessary for national strength. Trump further criticized President Biden's mental and physical fitness, drawing contrasts between their administrations. The choice of Moran as interviewer, instead of ABC anchors David Muir or George Stephanopoulos, followed prior disputes and legal battles with Trump, highlighting ongoing tensions between the former president and the network. The interview served as a centerpiece for Trump’s public relations efforts amid declining approval ratings.
