Trump's 60 Minutes Interview: Immigration Regrets and Key Takeaways

cnn.com —

President Donald Trump offered his most extensive assessment yet of historic Republican losses in an interview with "60 Minutes" aired Sunday, acknowledging his immigration crackdown was "too tough" while taking no personal blame for the election wipeout. Trump cited Iran and bad messaging as primary culprits for GOP defeats, but conceded deportations of long-term undocumented migrants were unpopular. He expressed misgivings about rounding up tactics, though he named architect Stephen Miller as chief of staff, signaling no policy change. The interview also covered Trump's hatred of enemies, hedging on endorsing Vice President JD Vance for 2024, and dismissing corruption concerns over family crypto ventures, insisting he has no role in their management.
