Donald Trump has claimed he's suffered from persecution in the hands of the Democrats and media since 2016.
He also blamed Joe Biden and Barack Obama for ''forging a dangerous alliance'' between the Russian and Chinese government.
Speaking to Fox News' Sean Hannity on Wednesday night, April 13 during a 40-minute interview, the former US president spoke on different tiorics ranging from Ukraine, energy policy to inflation.
He said Obama and Biden had made big mistakes with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, accusing them of having 'drove those two big monsters together.'
Trump, who says he is still weighing whether to run in 2024, was asked by Hannity what he would do differently if he wins a second term.
'I think one of the things I would do differently is that I found the media is so corrupt, that I would really not focus on them almost at all - I just focus on getting the job done for the American people,' he said.
'You cater to the media, you deal with the media. They're very dishonest, they write the opposite things, they have sources that aren't sources. They're an unbelievably dishonest - hence the name fake news.
'I think really I would be focused on getting the job done, getting our country back - our country has never been in a position that it is right now, with disrespected all over the world.'
'I've gone through, in five years, more investigations than Al Capone, Jesse James, and Billy the Kid put together,' he told Hannity.
'If I fly over a Democrat state in my airplane, I end up before a grand jury.
'It's a disgrace, and the people of this country aren't going to take it.
'They have weaponized law enforcement, essentially.'
Turning to Ukraine, Trump stressed that he had strengthened NATO by making other members pay their fair share, and said he warned Angela Merkel, the German former chancellor, against relying too much on Russia for their oil.
'Don't forget, I rebuilt NATO,' he said.
'Because when I became president, the first thing I noticed when I went there to the first meeting was that most of the countries were not paying - they were paying far less than they were supposed to.'
