WASHINGTON: During a fraud lawsuit deposition, former US President Donald Trump claimed he averted a “nuclear holocaust” and saved millions of lives.
He repeated this on the stand, while also lashing out at the judge and AG. Months earlier, during questioning about his business practices, Trump stated he was “too busy… saving millions of lives” to focus on his businesses, entrusted to his children. This released deposition footage adds a dramatic layer to the ongoing legal battle against the former president. “I was very busy. I considered this the most important job in the world, saving millions of lives. I think you would’ve had a nuclear holocaust if I didn’t deal with North Korea. I think you would’ve had a nuclear war if I weren’t elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth,” he said.
