PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump believes there's "something wrong" with Democrats in power and the party itself is in serious trouble, possibly becoming a "minor party" in American politics based on their recent actions.
Trump appeared on "Sunday Morning Futures" on the Fox News Channel, and host Maria Bartiromo asked the president about the Democrats' behavior at his joint address to Congress last Tuesday.
"They're gonna sit there angry, insolent," Trump said.
Bartiromo noted: "I was surprised at the Democrats' behavior the other night because you delivered among the most diverse, expanded audience – Republicans, Democrats, Independents. Is it just that the Democrat leadership that does not see that?"
"There's something wrong with them," Trump replied. "I can't even believe it. They lost an election in a landslide. They were talking about men playing in women's sports."
"I made a speech, the Republicans were going wild and the Democrats were having their little signs up … and I said it's unbelievable."
"They don't get it, they don't get it now. And I think they're gonna end being a minor party if they keep going like this, 'cause people don't want to hear about these stupid issues that they have.
"Transgender for everybody. And again, the men in women's sports. What is that, a 90-to-10 [percent] deal? I don't even know who the 10 would be. But they're in there fighting for it.
"And I try to say to myself 'cause you always like to understand where your opponent is, whether it's in business or anything else. Is there something I don't understand? But we don't understand it."
Bartiromo also asked Trump about his "smackdown" of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, saying, "It looked really rough."
Trump responded: "It was like taking candy from a baby, what he did, he's a smart guy and he's a tough guy."
"He took money out of this country under Biden like candy from a baby it was so easy with that same attitude. I just don't think he's grateful."
Regarding gold cards Trump is planning to allow foreigners to purchase a $5 million path toward U.S. citizenship, Bartiromo asked: "How do you know the Chinese are not going to take advantage of it and exploit it. Didn't they do that with student visas?"
"They may, they may," Trump said. "But they don't have to do that. They can do it in other ways."
