President Donald Trump reflected on his own historic return to the White House in an interview from the Oval Office, saying his political comeback proves that the policies and philosophies of the “radical left” over the past four years are “terrible” and “don’t work.”
Trump spoke with Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday for his first post-inauguration conversation.

“With all that said, I think it’s bigger. It’s bigger than if it’s more traditional,” he said on “Hannity,” referring to his two nonconsecutive terms. “I think we arrived at the right time.”

Trump added that it will take time, money and effort to fix many of them problems of the countrybut he believes that they are all solvable.
“We can get our country back. But if we hadn’t won this race, I really believe our country would have been lost forever,” he said.
Hannity shifted gears, pressing Trump about former President Biden pardoning members of his own family in the final minutes of his presidency.

“This guy was going around giving everybody pardons, and, you know, the funny thing — maybe the sad thing — he didn’t pardon himself. And, if you look at it, it all had to do with him,” Trump told Hannity.

Biden he was asked in 2020 on reports that then-President Trump was considering preemptive pardons for his family members and even himself, describing the possibility as troubling.
“Well, I’m concerned about the precedent it sets and how the rest of the world views us as a nation of law and justice,” Biden told CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
Four years later, he pardoned his sister, two brothers and their spouses. Biden said the string of pardons was partly because he feared a “baseless” and “politically motivated investigation” the Trump administration would launch against his family.

“The issuance of these pardons should not be misconstrued as an admission of complicity in any wrongdoing, nor should their acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any wrongdoing,” Biden said in a statement published on the day of the inauguration.

Trump declined to answer Hannity’s question about whether Congress should investigate the Biden family.
“Look, he didn’t pardon himself and he didn’t pardon some other people who needed it,” Trump said.
