Washington DC: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday sat for his 1st interview since returning to the White House and targetted his predecessor former President Joe Biden for issuing several apologies for family members and officials on his last day in office. Mr Donald Trump claimed he was given the option to pre-emptively forgive himself at the end of his first term, but chose not to.

"I was given the option, they said, 'Sir, would you like to pardon everybody, including yourself?'" Mr Trump told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity yesterday.

"I said I'm not going to pardon anybody, we didn't do anything wrong. And we had people that suffered, they're incredible patriots," he stated.

When he was asked about how he felt about returning to the Oval Office, the President said, "Well, it was a lot of work and as you know, I felt that we shouldn't have had to necessarily be here."

Repeting his misleading claims about being re-elected in 2020, Mr Trump has said, "It could have been done, a lot of work could have been done, it would have been over."

Adding to his claim, the President said further, "We wouldn't have inflation, we wouldn't have had the Afghanistan disaster, we wouldn't have October 7 in Israel where so many people were killed and you wouldn't have a Ukraine war

 going on. But with all that being said, I think it's bigger. It's bigger than if it were more traditional."

President Trump also included that America's problems are "all solvable," touting the "very unified" Republican caucus in Congress.

"They're all solvable problems ... with time, effort, money - unfortunately - but they're all solvable," Trump asserted furthermore.

"We can get our country back...But if we didn't win this race, I really believe our country would have been lost forever," he said.

The President said that he "might" have to remove federal funds to "sanctuary cities"-- a term which is used for municipalities that limit or deny their cooperation with the national government in enforcing immigration law.

"We're trying to get rid of them. We're trying to end them. And a lot of the people in those communities don't want them," Trump elaborated.

When asked if he would cut off their money, the President told them, "I might have to do that. Sometimes that's the only thing you can do."

The Republican also brushed off security related issues to the TikTok app, and said, "You can say that about everything made in China."

"We have so many things made in China. So why don't they mention that? The interesting thing with TikTok though is you're dealing with a lot of young people. Is it that important for China to be spying on young people? Young people watching crazy videos and things," he then added.

Mr Donald Trump also defended his pardons of nearly 1,600 January 6, 2021, Capitol Rioters. "Most of the people were absolutely innocent, okay?" Trump told to Hannity.
